The Internet Slams Kim Kardashian For Letting North West Go ‘Out & About By Herself’ In NYC With Adults Twice Her Age: ‘Way Too Much’

Kim Kardashian and North West can’t seem to stay out of headlines these days, with North constantly acting out and Kim receiving backlash for not having more of a handle on her. From dressing far older than a normal 12-year-old does, to getting finger piercings, refusing to pose in family Christmas photos, and now spending time wandering around New York City with little to no adult supervision, North has not made it easy for the single mother-of-four. Keep reading for more information.
On New Year’s Eve, North West, 12, was spotted in New York City with friends, though one of those “friends” included rapper Babyxsosa, who is 25 years old—more than double North’s age. North posted a photo with the rapper at Rockefeller Center on her new Instagram account. Babyxososa also posted a number of photos of North on her story throughout the day.
Now, Kim Kardashian, who was nowhere to be seen, is catching heat for allowing her pre-teen daughter to not only wander the city streets without supervision, but also for letting her hang out with people who are nowhere near her age group.
