I mean, the argument isn't whether North should have TikTok--it's whether Kanye should be taking this public. Yes, Kim's brand is public, but deal with this issue in private rather than posting videos and claiming all sorts of crazy things (kidnapping).

Yes. A rich, powerful guy with an army of lawyers doesn't need to ask for legal advice over instagram. I 100% agree an 8 year old should not have a Tik Tok but I also think a kid shouldn't have been at Kanye concerts singing his lyrics either and he didn't have a problem with that. If the goal was actually to try and get his daughter off Tik Tok for her wellbeing (which is a goal I agree with) that could be accomplished in private. I think a large part of this is to try and score a public win and control.

I don't think either are putting North first here and this is going to get uglier.

It is disturbing how many adults’ Tik Tok accounts revolve around their young children. It can’t possibly be healthy for children to grow up staring at themselves in a phone screen hours a day. I suspect in 10 years or so we will see the unintended consequences of it.

If my parents had done that to me, I would be pissed off. It's not as if kids can genuinely consent to having their parents use their lives for social media fodder. I can't imagine those kids won't have issues as they get older.

Yeah, I'm not following any of this in detail, but judging from the stuff that is getting public: It looks basically like the super-rich-person version of uglier divorces where both parents treat their kids as extensions of their own egos and are not putting the kids first. This is never good for the children, so I'm hoping they both get a grip.

I am not generally a fan of kids that young having a social media account. But I checked out the account and honestly, it's not what I expected. It's not just North - it's KimandNorth - the account clearly states that it's run by an adult. So, I don't think North has unfettered access to the account. And while I didn't look at every single video it looks age-appropriate and innocuous. There are unicorn slime videos, gingerbread cookies, and silly edits. I'm not a fan of either Kim or Kanye, but I just don't think it's the worst thing in that girl's life. The public fighting and stupidity that Kanye is doing seem far more harmful than a silly TikTok.

Yeah, I agree, cubanitafresca. It clearly shows that it's a parent-run/kid content TikTok account and it's just a lot of goofy kid stuff. Kids her age have YouTube channels and are making money hand over fist opening up blind bags of toys and testing product. I'm not really that concerned about this -- but then you have all the rumors of him (and some not rumors) of wanting to kick Pete Davidson's ass, possibly spreading rumors about Pete's health/STD status, and more. He claims he wants to get back with Kim, but yet, she can't date anyone while they're in the middle of a divorce, but he can!

His just a massive pain to his family and those associated with them. I really wish he'd get some help.

Annnnddd, the latest:

Kanye West is making shocking claims about Kim Kardashian -- now suggesting she's under the impression he wants to take her life ... this as it appears she's blocked his number.

Ye was at it again Sunday ... posting a fresh round of all-caps IG captions, taking aim at his estranged wife. Only this time -- he's making allegations that are straight-up disturbing ... actually saying Kim thinks he's got a bounty on her head.


His latest post features a screengrab of a text he seems to have sent to someone which reads, "Send me Kim's number." The caption that follows is this -- "YESTERDAY KIM ACCUSED ME OF PUTTING A HIT OUT ON HER." He then continues to describe how he feels, of late, that he's been accused of being on drugs, stealing from the Kardashians and also that he had to "BEG" to attend Chicago's birthday party a few weeks ago.

He adds, "NOW IM BEING ACCUSED OF PUTTING A HIT ON HER THESE IDEAS CAN ACTUALLY GET SOMEONE LOCKED UP THEY PLAY LIKE THAT WITH BLACK MENS LIVES WEATHER ITS GETTING THEM FREE OR GETTING THEM LOCKED UP IM NOT PLAYING ABOUT MY BLACK CHILDREN ANYMORE."

For the record ... there's no indication that Kim has accused Kanye of putting a hit out on her -- not that we can see, anyway.

And yet, there's more ... shortly before throwing out that wild accusation, Kanye posted another all-caps message -- only this one is purported to included exchanges he says he had with one of Kim's cousins.

His caption is pretty long here, but essentially ... he's saying that even members of Kim's own family -- outside of her immediate unit, that is -- are actually reaching out to him in private to agree about his stance on parenting. He also claims that in the same breath, they're kinda gaslighting him and asking for favors too ... like new Yeezys for their kids.

Christ. He is so aggressively his own worst enemy. But I’m sure he believes what he’s saying. Best of luck to their children.

I really hope he’s able to get help one day. I don’t think he wants it though. I am side eyeing his new girlfriend. I know she is only in it for the fame but I would be pretty alarmed if my new boyfriend was this obsessed with his ex. I don’t think being in the press, designer clothes, and lavish dates would be enough for me to stick this out. Kim is tied to him forever and is in for a long and tough ride until the kids are adults. On the plus side, at least she has the money, fame, and family support to really stand up to him and try to protect herself and her kids. She is not at a disadvantage here, which can unfortunately be the case for a lot of women and celebrity wives.

I'm presuming the new GF knows he's a mess and is getting her fifteen minutes of fame, then jumping off this ride. I can't see her hanging around for long.
