North West is only 13 years old, but she sparked controversy again after appearing in a TikTok video with several silver piercings on her face, blue-dyed hair, and a completely gothic look. Although the video has racked up nearly a million “likes”, thousands of people questioned why Kim Kardashian and Kanye West’s daughter looks and acts “as if she were 25 years old”, despite still being a child.
The criticism was aimed directly at her parents. “It is absolutely ridiculous for a 13-year-old girl to look like that every day. Where did her childhood go?”, one user wrote. Others claimed that “they are forcing her to grow up too fast”, that “no school would let her in dressed like that”, and that “there is no way that can be healthy for a teenager”.
The controversy comes just days after rapper Skepta publicly asked Kim Kardashian to “protect her children” after seeing North surrounded by adults at a fashion event in Paris. For many, the discussion is no longer just about her piercings, but about whether the teenager is losing her childhood too soon.
