Kim Kardashian in a rare public display, has called out estranged husband Kanye West, for making a post about their eldest daughter North West being on Tik Tok.

The fashion designer who now goes by the name Ye, posted a screen grab of his daughter’s Tik Tok account with the caption, “SINCE THIS IS MY FIRST DIVORCE I NEED TO KNOW WHAT I SHOULD DO ABOUT MY DAUGHTER BEING PUT ON TIK TOK AGAINST MY WILL?”

The rapper here, seems to also be making a snide reference to the fact that The Kardashian is now experiencing her third divorce.

Kardashian, who for the entirety of the couple’s separation has remained quiet amid West’s public jabs and display of affection towards her, for the first time, directly responded to his statement.

“Kanye’s constant attacks on me in interviews and on social media is actually more hurtful than any Tik Tok North might create. As the parent who is the main provider and caregiver for our children, I am doing my best to protect our daughter while also allowing her to express her creativity in the medium that she wishes with adult supervision – because it brings her so much happiness,” the statement read.

“Divorce is difficult enough on our children and Kanye’s obsession with trying to control and manipulate our situation so negatively and publicly is only causing further pain for all,” she continued.

Eight-year-old North West has since last year had a joint Tik Tok account with her mother (@KimandNorth) and, in the past, the eldest of the estranged couple’s four children has been reprimanded publicly by Kim for going live without her permission.

The reality star-turned-beauty mogul also highlighted that, since filing for a divorce, she has wanted nothing but a healthy and supportive co-parenting relationship, as she believed it was what was best for their children.

Indicating that she has been saddened by West’s continuous attempts to make the process even harder, Kardashian noted that she wanted to keep matters involving their children private.

Then she responded to Kanye’s “FIRST DIVORCE” poke with one of her own, saying: “[H]opefully he can finally respond to the third attorney he has had in the last year to resolve any issues amicably.”

Not long after, however, West took to social media again, clapping back at the Kardashians, exposing more dirty laundry within the family.

“What do you mean by main provider America saw you try to kid nap my daughter on her birthday by not providing the address You put security on me inside of the house to play with my son then accused me of stealing I had to take a drug test after Chicago’s party cause you accused me of being on drugs,” the star wrote.

West also took a jab at KKW Brand’s chief marketing officer, saying: “Tracy Romulus stop manipulating Kim to be this way…”

A few hours after, he uploaded an image of Tik Tok’s guidelines surrounding the age limit for its users. It has been almost a year since Kardashian filed for divorce from West.

Kardashian has seemingly moved on, dating comedian Pete Davidson since the latter part of last year.

Ye, who initially made public efforts to reunite with his wife and family, has now halted those attempts and has turned to publicly calling out his wife and family on personal matters.

West, since last year, has been seen showing public displays of affection to his reported girlfriend, Julia Fox.
