Skepta has called out “grown men” for behaving inappropriately with Kim Kardashian and Kanye West’s 13-year-old daughter North West.
The Shutdown rapper took to X over the weekend to share a viral video of North attending the Vetements Menswear Spring/Summer 2027 show during Paris Fashion Week on Friday.
The clip shows North putting out her hand to greet a man, who pulls her in for a hug before they pose for photographs together. Other videos circulating online show several older men getting close to Kim and Kanye’s eldest child.
“A blind man could see she wanted a handshake kmt (kiss my teeth),” Skepta wrote alongside the video, before adding in a separate post, “My fans know I try to stay out of peoples business but damn the way grown men, complete strangers, try to use North makes me sick (sic).”
When a follower asked if hugging was a “social offence” these days, the British musician replied, “What are you talking about?! She is 13 years old and she put her hand out for a handshake, you don’t ignore that. I can’t believe some (of) these replies to my tweet.”
In follow-up posts, Skepta described the behaviour as “sickening” and stated that schools should teach people body language.
When another user suggested that North “basically skipped being a teenager” and was only “a child by age not outlook” due to her grown-up clothes and piercings, the grime MC reposted the message and added, “WOW!! Protect your kids people. Protect your kids!”
Skepta, real name Joseph Olaitan Adenuga, has two children, including an eight-year-old daughter.
In addition to North, Kim and Kanye share sons Saint, 10, and Psalm, seven, and daughter Chicago, eight. They divorced in 2022.
