Despite her young age, North West has attracted a lot of criticism over her fashion and beauty choices.
Her mother, Kim Kardashian has defended her choices during an appearance on the Call Her Daddy podcast. According to Kim, growing up in the public eye presents its own set of challenges.
“It’s really hard and it’s really interesting because all the kids are wearing the same things,” Kardashian said. “Unfortunately, we made that mistake in front of the whole world.”

North’s father, Kanye West, has been open about his dislike of his daughter’s social media activities, especially on platforms such as TikTok. “I just got off the phone with Kim, and I told her to stop antagonizing me with this TikTok thing.
“I said, ‘Never again.’ I am her father, I know y’all don’t respect fathers and the idea of family, and the media tries to promote something… but I said, ‘I am not allowing my daughter to be used by TikTok,” Kanye said.

Kim responded to Kanye’s comments at the time, stating that “As the parent who is the main provider and caregiver for our children, I am doing my best to protect our daughter while also allowing her to express her creativity in the medium that she wishes with adult supervision, because it brings her happiness.”
