Rapper Skepta had sharp comments in response to a clip of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's 13-year-old daughter North West being hugged by a man at a Paris Fashion Week event last Friday.
Skepta, 43, posted a clip on Saturday which showed North's run-in with the man at the Vetements Menswear Spring/Summer 2027 show, where it appeared she went for a handshake, then hugged the man, before posing for a photo with him.
The London native rattled off a series of tweets saying it was inappropriate for the 13-year-old to be mingling with adults in the clip.
'A blind man could see she wanted a handshake,' the musical artist, whose full name is Joseph Olaitan Adenuga Jr, said on X Sunday. He added the abbreviation KMT, which is short for the phrase 'kiss my teeth,' indicating frustration and disapproval.
He added, 'My fans know I try to stay out of [people's] business but damn the way grown men, complete strangers, try to use North makes me sick.'
Skepta replied to an X user who asked, 'Is hugging a social offense now?' by saying North's body language made it clear she wasn't looking to hug anyone.
'What are you talking about?!' the rapper said. 'She is 13 years old and she put her hand out for a handshake, you don’t ignore that
After a commenter noted that the eldest daughter of the A-list celebs 'basically skipped being a teenager' due to her fame, Skepta said, 'WOW!! Protect your kids people. Protect your kids!'
In response to a user who agreed with his sentiments, Skepta said he found 'sickening' what appeared to be a disconnect in what is to be considered appropriate behavior
