Kim Kardashian<\/span> has revealed she sometimes has to ‘hold back’ daughter North as she discussed the teen’s love for the spotlight.<\/p>\n

The 45-year-old is primary guardian to the four children she shares with her third ex-husband Kanye West<\/span> \u2013 North, 13, Saint, 10, Chicago<\/span>, eight, and Psalm, seven.<\/p>\n

The teen is already said to boast a\u00a0net worth\u00a0of at least $50million \u2013 with some reports claiming it could be as high as $375million<\/p>\n

North, who has appeared on the family’s reality show since she was born, has released a debut EP this year and appeared on the cover of Dazed magazine.<\/p>\n

Speaking to The Sunday Times, Kim explained how she and Kanye have become ‘better’ at communicating in order to manage their children the ‘right way’.<\/p>\n

‘I do worry about it. Each kid does what they’re comfortable with,’ she said, explaining the nature of their involvement with her family’s reality show The Kardashians.<\/p>\n

‘So, my little ones come around when I’m filming but they don’t really do storylines. North loves it a little bit more than the rest. I hold her back.’<\/p>\n

The 45-year-old is primary guardian to the four children she shares with her third ex-husband Kanye West \u2013 North, 13, Saint, 10, Chicago, eight, and Psalm, seven (pictured together in 2012)<\/p>\n

She added: ‘All she wants to do is forward-facing projects. And so it’s like us really kind of trying to savor those moments and not doing everything that comes her way, so we can really make sure that we manage it the right way.<\/p>\n

‘And with her, since it’s more music-related, that is something that her dad and I have better communication about. We make sure that we’re aligned and that she’s in projects that we both approve.’<\/p>\n

Kim and Kanye have previously clashed over North’s upbringing, for instance last year when the rap star included his daughter’s vocals on a track featuring Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, who was facing trial on a raft of sexual misconduct allegations<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Combs\u00a0was acquitted that July of the most serious charges against him, sex trafficking and racketeering<\/span>, but was found guilty on two lesser charges of transportation to engage in prostitution.<\/p>\n

Kim’s parenting also came in for public opprobrium when North\u00a0revealed in August 2025 that she had obtained a dermal piercing consisting of two small metal balls under a knuckle of her right hand middle finger.<\/p>\n

Dermal piercings are distinct from other piercings in that a tiny anchor hooked under the skin is used to keep the jewellery in place.<\/p>\n

As a result, they come with risks like keloid scarring, infection and \u2013 if improperly looked after \u2013 even rejection by the wearer’s body.<\/p>\n

North’s mother, who has spoken often about being her primary guardian, was thus raked over the coals for allowing her to get a dermal piercing so young.<\/p>\n

Speaking to The Sunday Times, Kim explained how she and Kanye have become ‘better’ at communicating in order to manage their children the ‘right way’<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

However North responded by posting a TikTok in December in which she mimed to the sound-byte: ‘Why are you crying? How old are you? Just pull it together,’ with a caption that read: ‘this is for everyone that’s mad over a finger piercing.’<\/p>\n

Undeterred by the brickbats her mother was receiving, North then apparently unveiled two further dermal finger piercings on her Insta Stories in January.<\/span><\/p>\n

Then this May, in the music video for her first solo single #N0rth4evr, she was shown strolling through a graveyard with two stick-on piercings under one of her eyes and another one placed near the top of her nose.<\/p>\n

Much of the video was grainy and choppy, in a nod to ‘found footage’ horror movies like The Blair Witch Project and Paranormal Activity.<\/p>\n

Her follow-up single was a collaboration with a fellow ‘nepo baby’ \u2013 Lil Novi, the 16-year-old son of rap legend Lil Wayne and R&B songstress Nivea.<\/p>\n

Lil Wayne and Kanye worked on a number of songs together in the 2000s, including the 2007 release Barry Bonds and the 2008 single See You in My Nightmares.<\/p>\n

Their children’s new effort, entitled MULA THA ROOT OF ALL EVIL, is a cacophonous piece of music with a frenetically edited music video to match.<\/p>\n

North materializes in the middle of the video with blue hair, seemingly wearing a set of grillz as well as a pair of spiky gauntlets<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
