Kanye’s statements resurfaced after North shared a TikTok video of herself wearing a black grill over her teeth, a fake septum ring, and blue-colored contacts in her eyes.
She also flaunted two fake tattoos on her face, one of which was a star, and the other was her name in cursive writing.

“Starting to realize Kanye wasn’t the crazy one,” one claimed, while another wrote, “She would’ve been better off with her dad.”

The pre-teen’s bold look led to the resurfacing of a clip posted by Kanye in the past.
The rapper initially expressed his disdain with a 2022 Instagram post, in which he said his daughter was “being put on TikTok against” his “will.”

About a month later, an 8-year-old North shared a video of herself wearing black makeup and lip-syncing to Machine Gun Kelly's song Emo Girl.
Her father expressed disapproval at the time over his daughter sharing videos on the TikTok account, which she shares with her mother.

“Hey, everybody, I just got off the phone with Kim, and I told her to stop antagonizing me with this TikTok thing,” said the rap mogul.
“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,’” he continued.

The Grammy winner’s statements about his daughter triggered a response from Kim on her own Instagram page.
“Kanye's constant attacks on me in interviews and on social media are actually more hurtful than any TikTok North might create,” she wrote in her Instagram Stories at the time.
She called herself the “main provider” of their four children and noted that being on TikTok gave their oldest daughter “happiness.”

“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,” she said.
Kim and Kanye got married in 2014 and finalized their divorce in 2022.

The rapper has since married Bianca Censori and has been embroiled in several controversies in the last couple of years.
In an interview this month, Kim claimed she’s been raising their four kids, North, 12, Saint, 9, Chicago, 7, and Psalm, 6, “full time,” and they live with her.

The Skims founder also said on the Call Me Daddy podcast that it’s been a couple of months since she heard from the father of her kids.
“One thing that gets me is that there’s this narrative that I keep the kids away from him. I’ve never once done that,” she said.
She added in the interview that she wants her kids to have a “great healthy relationship” with the rapper.

The reality TV star was heard saying in the preview of The Kardashians that she had “a bit of Stockholm syndrome” with Kanye.
But she finally left their marriage for the sake of her children, she said.
“I always felt really bad and always protected and always wanted to help [him],” she said, adding that she used to have thoughts like, “I should’ve stuck it out” or “I could’ve helped.”

When asked what goes through her mind when she sees Kanye’s erratic behavior, she said, “My poor kids. Everyone around can handle it, but like, protect my babies.”
“They’re gonna know things. They’re gonna grow up, they’re gonna see. So my job as a mom is to just make sure that — at a time when that behavior is happening — is just to make sure that they’re protected,” she added.
“Neither Kanye nor Kim is fit to be parents,” a critic claimed online
