In case you’re in the mood to feel old today, I’d like to point out that North West is now on Instagram. The 12-year-old daughter of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West made her platform debut on Saturday with a blurred photo of herself flashing peace signs à la Mommy Kim. “First post,” she captioned the image. That’s so true, North.
While North’s first entry appears to be a casual image, don’t be fooled: She is, first and foremost, a Kardashian, which means that, naturally, she’s wearing a Balenciaga T-shirt. Since her first post went up, North is already keeping up with the Kardashian posting cadence. She got her second one up the following day — a photo with her manicured hands covering her face, a fluffy black “NOR11” hat, and her heavily documented turquoise hair peaking out the sides. “🔜” the caption states. Vague! Mysterious! Could it be … North’s first business launch?
It seems that North’s account is being supervised by someone over the age of 18 — her bio states that the page is “managed by parents.” That’s not far off from the messaging on North’s TikTok page, which she’s shared with her mom since 2021. That one states the profile is “managed by an adult” and mostly features videos of North dancing with her friends or clowning her mother.
North — who, again, is 12 — has racked up over 400,000 followers already, including Kim, grandma Kris Jenner, and JoJo Siwa. I, too, look forward to following along as North invents new ways to roast her mom.
