Reality TV star and makeup mogul Kylie Jenner launches her music career as King Kylie with Terror Jr collab Fourth Strike but fans have called her music debut ‘cringe’
Kylie Jenner has launched her music career with a feature on Terror Jr’s new single Fourth Strike, released on Monday night, but not all of her fans are convinced by her vocal skills.
The 28-year-old entrepreneur, best known for The Kardashians and her billion-dollar cosmetics brand, appears on the track under her revived alter ego King Kylie, a nod to her social media persona from 2014 to 2016.
Fourth Strike is a follow-up to Terror Jr’s 2016 single Three Strikes, which featured in a Kylie Cosmetics campaign and sparked rumours that Jenner was secretly the singer. This time, she confirmed her involvement, performing the bridge and closing the track with a whispered “King Kylie.”
On the song, Jenner can be heard singing: “I just wanna tell you, I’m sorry / Touch me, baby, tell me I’m your baby / Write your name all over my body.”

Reactions to Jenner’s musical debut were divided however as one fan wrote on X: “How embarrassing, king autotune,” while another commented: “Oh baby, stick to the lip kits.”
Others were more critical, with one user adding: “Oh great, just what the world needed – Kylie Jenner thinking she’s a pop star now. Someone please tell her ‘vocal range’ doesn’t mean whispering over autotune.”
Another joked: “Kylie Jenner making music is the biggest recession indicator. Nobody asked for that s***.”
Jenner addressed her decision to collaborate with Terror Jr in an Instagram post following the song’s release, sharing photos from the studio and a video of her daughter Stormi, seven, singing along.
“There was a little rumor 10 years ago that I was the one actually singing on Three Strikes,” Jenner wrote. “It wasn’t me (wish it was) so I had the idea to come together for Fourth Strike and it would actually be ME FEATURED!”
She thanked Terror Jr “for making another perfect song,” adding that she was “soooooo nervous but so grateful.”
Alongside her first music release, Jenner announced that her new King Kylie cosmetics collection will launch on October 18. The line is inspired by her early online persona and marks what she called the return of her “fearless era.”
“I’ve seen all your messages asking for a King Kylie collection, the fearless era that had a dream at just 17 years old,” she said. “That’s why I posted that tweet back in 2022. I wanted to give you exactly what you’ve been waiting for.”
The Kylie Cosmetics website states that the collection will feature “best-selling formulas in iconic, limited-edition shades.”
