North West’s growing social media presence continues to get stronger as she nears her teen years. However, her mother, Kim Kardashian, still monitors her daughter’s online presence. Kardashian manages North’s TikTok, ensuring that her eyes have seen any content posted by the 12-year-old. However, in 2010, Kardashian had to stand firm in a decision to delete one of North’s viral TikToks.

In the TikTok, North was seen lip-synching to Ice Spice and PinkPantheress’ song “Boy’s a Liar, Pt. 2.” Fans were quick to notice that the words didn’t seem age-appropriate for North, who was just 10 at the time.

“As soon as I saw the words, I was like, ‘Oh no, we’re taking this down,'” Kardashian told TIME in 2023, according to People. She also mentioned Kanye “Ye” West’s viral reaction. “I saw on the internet [people saying], ‘Kanye [West] was right,’ and maybe he was in that instance.”

Despite removing the TikTok, Kardashian encourages her daughter’s social media usage. “She loves making slime videos and doing her little hair tutorials, and I will fight for her to be creative,” she said.

In 2026, fans are now wondering what happened to North West’s Instagram. She made headlines in December 2025 when she launched her very own account, instantly attracting millions of followers. The account, managed under her parents’ supervision, showcased her bold fashion choices, playful videos, and glimpses into her life. However, the Instagram page was taken down just weeks after its debut, leaving fans and the media speculating about the reason.
