Kim Kardashian has deactivated her daughter North West’s Instagram account due to safety concerns.
Sources say Kardashian acted quickly after noticing worrying activity on the page. She believed the attention had become inappropriate for a 12-year-old. The account carried a label stating parents managed it. Despite that safeguard, Kardashian decided the risks outweighed the benefits.
According to entertainment reporter Rob Shuter, Kardashian personally reviewed the account. She reportedly felt uncomfortable with certain posts, comments, and interactions. One insider said Kardashian did not like what she saw. The source added that the attention made the platform unsafe for North at this stage.
Another person close to the family said the account seemed harmless at first. Over time, however, the activity raised concerns. Age played a major role in the decision. Family sources stressed that North is still very young.

Kardashian reportedly wants to shield her daughter from online pressure and public scrutiny. She has taken a hands-on approach to parenting. Recent social media appearances also drew attention. North appeared on TikTok with bold styling and high-end accessories.
Despite the shutdown, Kardashian continues to support her daughter’s creativity. She has previously praised North’s confidence and sense of style.
While Kardashian tightened boundaries at home, focus also returned to Kanye West’s upcoming album BULLY. Speculation grew after West confirmed the project is moving forward. Fans questioned whether artificial intelligence played a role.

People close to West denied the claims. His associates said the album does not involve AI-generated content. West’s recent music history includes the collaborative albums Vultures 1 and Vultures 2. Both projects were released in 2024.
Since then, West has drawn criticism for controversial online remarks. Those comments led to suspensions from major social platforms, including Instagram.
