Kim Kardashian Reacts to North West Becoming Teenager With Rare Throwback Photos

Kim Kardashian praised North’s creativity and style in a birthday post that included rare throwbacks and a nod to her debut EP, N0rth4evr.

  • On Monday, June 15, North West, the eldest daughter of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, officially turned 13. Kim celebrated the milestone with an Instagram tribute marking her daughter's transition into her teenage years.
  • North has been edging into the public eye as a performer over the past year, aided by her parents' vast platforms. She released her debut EP, 'N0rth4evr,' on May 1 and pursues a career as a rapper under the stage name Miss Westie.
  • Dressed in Balenciaga, North performed her first solo festival set at Lyrical Lemonade's Summer Smash 2026 in Illinois on Friday, June 12, running through tracks from 'N0rth4evr' to a packed crowd. This marked a significant shift from her previous appearances as a guest performer.
  • Critics called the set 'an embarrassment,' citing concerns about her age, while grandmother Kris Jenner, 70, wrote: 'Seeing you find your own path and passions has been such a joy.' Kim defended North's creative expression as essential to her development.
  • North's festival performance has become a flashpoint in debates about fame, privilege, and whether 13 is too young for commercial performance. As she navigates adolescence under global scrutiny, her milestone birthday underscores the tension between childhood development and celebrity brand management.
