Kim Kardashian risks Kanye outburst as North, 12, shows off fake tattoos and piercings

North West, Kim Kardashian’s daughter, and Kanye West’s daughter, have unveiled a shocking new look complete with grillz, fake nose tattoos, and grillz.

North West, Kim Kardashian’s daughter, has a startling new appearance that includes grillz, fake noses, and fake face tattoos.

Over the weekend, the 12-year-old praised her striking ensemble in a number of videos posted on TikTok. Along with black grillz over her teeth and a fake nose ring, she sported long, blue braids and fake blue contact lenses.

The large, fake tattoos on her face, which included a star beneath her eye and a script on her cheek, were the most eye-catching. One video, posted to her and her mother’s shared account, was captioned “Fake piercings and fake tatts for life.”

Her friends, who were similarly decorated with braids, face tattoos, and piercings, were also seen lip-syncing to a well-known sound bite in the video. North wore chunky trainers, baggy shorts, an oversize tee, and several flashy silver necklaces.

In additional videos, she and her pals were seen traveling by private jet and later attending an impromptu concert. The tween’s social media posts have sparked content-related content debates online.

Some claim that it’s just a child dressing up for Halloween, while others refute North’s father Kanye West’s previous objections to his kids being able to post on social media.

The artist formally known as Ye claimed that his eldest child, Kim, was using social media against his will in 2022. Under a screenshot of a then eight-year-old North’s first TikTok post, Kanye wrote, “Since this is my first divorce, I need to know what to do about my daughter being put on TikTok against my will.”

Kim responded, “Kanye’s constant attacks on me on social media and in interviews are actually more haughty than any TikTok North might produce.”

As the parent who provides our children’s primary care and care, I make every effort to protect our daughter while also allowing her to express her creativity wherever she pleases under the guidance of adults.

“Divorce is difficult enough for our children, and Kanye’s obsession with attempting to control and manipulate our situation so harshly and publicly only adds to our pain,” said Kanye.

It saddens me that Kanye keeps making it impossible every step of the way because I have always wanted a healthy and supportive co-parenting relationship.

The mother-of-four concluded her post by saying, “I want to handle all matters involving our children privately, and I hope he can finally approach the third attorney he has retained to resolve any issues amicably.”

Lincoln City fined over “sectarian chants” at Wrexham’s McClean

The Football Association (FA) fined Lincoln City £8,500 after supporters chanted “sectarian chants” at an opposition player.

After James McClean was verbally abused twice during a game at Sincil Bank on May 3, the FA claimed the club had failed to control its supporters.

The FA has also issued an action plan to stop upcoming incidents that could result in the club being subject to additional sanctions.

The FA claimed that Kick It Out, an anti-racist organization, reported the two incidents in its report on May 7.

The FA stated that the club had contacted the police, spoke with them, and interviewed stewards in response to the report.

The FA added that “seven individuals were prohibited from the club for varying periods” and that “a number of fans had been identified as perpetrators.”

Mr. Scully stated on BBC Radio Lincolnshire that he wanted to hold an open meeting with supporters “to hear the experiences of the fans.”

He said, “It’s really important that we work on both sanctioning and education.”

“Using those two as the right mix and the right combination to address this going forward,” he said.

He continued, “I think it’s getting that balance between making sure we have that phenomenal atmosphere that we create and not sterilizing the games, which is absolutely the last thing we want to do,” but I don’t believe these things are mutually exclusive.

I think and feel that Sincil Bank can provide an inclusive environment where everyone is happy, everyone is happy, everyone is happy, everyone is welcoming, and everyone is having a wonderful time there.

The club claimed that the FA and the club were “in discussions” about alleged similar behavior during our recent Carabao Cup encounter with Chelsea.
