GETTING GRILLED Kim Kardashian ripped for letting daughter North West, 10, get diamond grills like Kanye as fans share ‘genuine concern’
KIM Kardashian has been criticized for letting her oldest child get diamond grills on her teeth.
North West, 10, followed in her dad, Kanye West’s footsteps by showing off her new tooth bling in a TikTok earlier this week. On the same day, Kanye, 46, and his dental doctors announced that he’d gotten a full set of тιтanium dentures.
In North’s video, one standout pic showed the young Hulu star showing off her teeth while wearing a tie-dye tee with a print from The Simpsons.
However, in place of her normal pearly whites, two of her top teeth and six on the bottom were encrusted with tiny, shimmering diamonds.
In an online thread, fans bashed Kim, 43, for allowing her daughter to get “whatever she wants.” “Man, I’m worried about that kid,” one person wrote.
“I’m genuinely concerned for how much damage this child is going to do to herself and those around her over the next ten years,” wrote a second.
“The child who has never once heard ‘No,’ of the mother who has never once heard ‘No,'” said a third. “They literally let this child do whatever she wants,” a fourth replied.
“And she’s only 10. Imagine all the horrors we will see Kim allow her to do in the next years…” another wrote. “Kim treats her like a friend or like a sidekick. Later she’ll be resentful that she didn’t just have a mom,” a final bashed.
JUST LIKE DAD
On Wednesday, Kanye gave a first look at the full grill he had installed, showing off a solid тιтanium piece shining in front of a black background.
The custom dentures, which were said to be “more expensive than diamonds,” were designed by Kanye and cost him $850,000, according to the Daily Mail.
This isn’t the first time North has honored her dad’s wild style choices in recent weeks. At her mom Kim’s Christmas party, North sparkled in a denim jacket encrusted in jewels.
Fans noticed that the luxury Balmain garment was first worn by Kanye at the 2016 Met Gala. North was compared to her father once more during an episode of season 4 of the family’s Hulu series, The Kardashians.
While looking at her mom’s gown for this year’s Met Gala, North remarked, “It’s looking, like beachy, and the pearls look fake.”
One user first noted how back in 2019, Kanye had commented his disapproval of Kim’s outfit for the Met Gala, calling it “too Sєxy” during an episode of E!’s Keeping Up With the Kardashians.
“Who needs to be married to Kanye when you have a clone putting you in your fashion place,” one person replied in comparison.
Alongside North, Kim and Kanye share kids Saint, 8; Chicago, 6; and Psalm, 4.
TOO OLD, TOO QUICK
Even before getting a grill, some expressed concern that North’s environment had made her grow up too soon.
Last April, before North turned 10, she posed on a red carpet in Los Angeles alongside her mom and hairstylist Chris Appleton.
North sported a tailored black blazer teamed with black cargo pants unzipped at the hem and super-high platform Dolce & Gabbana boots.
She accessorized with a crystal choker with a dangling cross and wore her hair in an ultra-high ponytail with long extensions.
On a forum dedicated to the Kardashians, one person asked, “Why is North dressed like an adult? She’s 10?” In November, critics also slammed Kim for allowing North to get beauty treatments, making her appear to be a more mature age.
Kim was pictured alongside North and the rest of the Kardashian clan in a picture posted on Instagram during the holiday season. Some fans on Reddit suggested that North had beauty procedures done, such as getting her eyebrows waxed.
“I c u north, with your new little arched eyebrows!” one person wrote, to which another replied, “Thattttttts what it is. She looks older all of a sudden and I couldn’t pin point it.”
“Is an eyebrow wax not a bit inappropriate for a 10-year-old? I feel sad that Kim is letting her grow up so quickly,” someone added.
