Footage of North West imitating Ice Spice sparked a debate about Kanye West’s issues with TikTok.
North, who is 9 years old, appeared in a TikTok video featuring her lip-syncing Ice Spice’s “Boy’s a Liar Pt. 2” verse. A Twitter contingent felt North’s post justified Kanye’s past concerns regarding TikTok.
North recited Ice Spice’s line “bet he blowing her back” in the clip, which didn’t sit well with a number of Twitter users. Kanye’s daughter wore a wig to complete her impression of Ice Spice.
Kanye previously called out his ex-wife Kim Kardashian for allowing their daughter to create TikTok videos. He claimed North was on the social media platform against his will.
“I’m not allowing my daughter to be used by TikTok, to be used by Disney,” he said in 2022. “I have a say-so.”
Kardashian defended North’s TikTok activity in response to Kanye’s outrage. The reality TV star elaborated on how she handles North’s usage of social media in an interview with Gwyneth Paltrow.
“I have made a rule with their dad about it, you know, he’s not happy about that, I respect that,” Kardashian said. “It can only be on my own phone. It’s not something where she can scroll and look at things.”

"A broke clock is right twice a day." Kanye was right about not wanting is daughter on Tik Tok. Now she's dressing like Ice Spice, & reciting lyrics like, "Bet he blowin her back". Just a reminder: North West is NINE YEARS OLD!pic.twitter.com/jhAbwsEUYrpic.twitter.com/ss4sI4tI5d

The Kardashians have sons as well yet I never see them plastered all over social media. It’s almost as if they are exploiting North West for their own gains and trying to mold their daughters into the next generation of Kardashians. Kanye was right.

I might have to side with the outrage on the debate of North, Kanye & Isis. 8/9 year olds making tik told to these lyrics. Someone somewhere should’ve stopped this
