Kim Kardashian Shares Perspective On Removing Daughter's TikTok Video With Ice Spice
Recently, an encounter between rap star Ice Spice and her daughter resulted in the artist's appearance in a Skims campaign but also sparked a public complaint from the 10-year-old's father.
As their children grow older, the reality TV star told Time Magazine that integrating them into the family's influential empire is a delicate balancing act, filled with "trial and error."
After viewing a video of the youngster rapping along with explicit lyrics, the actress stated, "As soon as I saw the words, I was like, 'Oh no, we're taking this down.'" Despite her actions, the star recognizing the importance of platforms like TikTok for her children's creative expression explained:
"I saw on the internet, [people saying] 'Kanye was right,' and maybe he was in that instance. But she loves making slime videos and doing her little hair tutorials, and I will fight for her to be creative."
In a throwback to March, North, a devoted Ice Spice fan, delighted her followers by dressing up as the rapper and passionately lip-syncing a portion of "Boy's a Liar, Pt. 2," a collaboration between the artist and PinkPantheress.
However, the video received significant backlash, with critics questioning the suitability of the lyrics the young child was mouthing. This controversy reignited discussions about a podcast interview from 2022 in which West expressed his disapproval of his daughter's participation on the popular app.
Later, "The Kardashians" star admitted, "I think it's always tough when you're co-parenting, and someone wants something, and someone doesn't. I think that's the trial and error sometimes."
She then stated further, "It's always a compromise. No one's always gonna agree, and you just have to do the best as you can as a parent to try to protect your kids, but also let them be creative."
