North West turned 13 and already has a festival, a Balenciaga outfit, and a debut EP. 🎤 But instead of applause, what filled up was the comments section. Her performance at Summer Smash 2026, in Bridgeview, Illinois, with turquoise pigtails and a spiked choker, split the internet into two very clear camps.
Those criticizing her are not mincing words: “Her parents are buying her a career”, “completely inappropriate for a 12-year-old girl” and “let her be a child” are some of the phrases repeated most often. 😤 On the other side, there are those who argue that North has been writing songs for years, produces her own tracks, and has eight-hour studio sessions from home — according to Kim herself on her sister Khloe’s podcast.
Is she a girl with real talent who chose this path, or two celebrities pushing their daughter into stardom too soon? 👇
