Last weekend, the 12-year-old shared several clips on her TikTok account with face modifications and nose piercings. She was joined by her friends, who also sported a different look. In a few videos, they added colored hair strings to their braids and donned eye lenses. Soon after, the videos went viral on the internet.

The clips also sparked outrage among fans, with one user writing, “How about go be a kid.” Another person added, “She’s 12 years old, by the way.”

The joint TikTok account of Kim and her daughter later came out in defense.

“This is such a non-issue,” it stated, alongside a crying face emoji, as reported by People magazine.

Kim Kardashian on North West’s fashion choices

Recently, Kim made an appearance on the Call Her Daddy podcast, where she talked about North’s fashion choices.

On October 15, the reality TV star revealed to the podcast host, “She's really mature in one sense, where she'll be like, 'Mom, I saw this, and I don't really care that they don't like... my blue hair or this or that.'” Kim Kardashian added, “She's really confident…”

Elsewhere in the conversation, the mother of four went on to talk about the challenges of being a mom to a pre-teen. She also confessed that she had made a few mistakes earlier and had asked for a “little bit of grace.”

The SKIMS owner asserted, “I'm like, okay, we're never wearing that again. Unfortunately, we made that mistake in front of the whole world,” as reported by People.

Kim concluded by stating that, as a mother, she was also learning at the same time.
