North West, 9, takes center stage and pushes mom Kim Kardashian out of frame in wild new TikTok with cousin Penelope, 10

 

NORTH West has been ready for her close-up.

The latest video from North and her mother Kim Kardashian features a lot less Kim and a lot more North.

Kim and North shared the new video to their joint TikTok account.

In it, the nine-year-old details her extensive hair routine as her realty show mom is relegated to lowly assistant.

The video, set to SZA’s song Blind, began with Kim, 42, spraying water on her daughter’s voluminous, curly hair, as the pre-teen lip synced the lyrics.

The doting mom then added some gel to her hair to flatten it so that North could then part it with a comb.

North, wearing a shirt with the logo for Harvard, was clearly center stage in the video, while Kim was often pushed to the side, out of frame or sliced in half.

The hair styling continued with North adding a variety of creams to her coif, and brushing and straightening it so that Kim could eventually pull it into a ponytail.

Once they were finished, it was time to dance.

Kim and North boogied down to the rest of the song, joined by special surprise guest Penelope Disick.

The ten-year-old daughter of Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick seemed to startle her aunt Kim by suddenly jumping into frame.

But Penelope was welcomed, and joined in the impromptu dance off, as all three smiled and laughed.

TWISTED SISTERS

The smiles came as fans fear North and Penelope’s relationship could be affected by moms Kim and Kourtney’s family feud.

North and Penelope, being so close in age, seem to share a special bond.

Recently, they took a trip to Japan together with Kim, and they’re often seen hanging out and having a good time.

Unfortunately, their mothers appear to have the opposite relationship.

It’s cold, standoffish, and sometimes physical, which could be emotionally draining for the sisters who often complain about each other.

As the Kardashians have gotten older, their arguments have become more substantial, and fans are starting to worry that it will affect North and Penelope’s relationship.

A Reddit user on a popular KUWTK forum posed a discussion topic to other Kar-Jenner fans.

They said: “I hope Kourtney and Kim’s damaged relationship doesn’t affect their kids.”

Other users had a variety of opinions on the preteen’s relationship in the replies.

One said, “I don’t think it is, North and P still hang out a lot. Same with Saint and Reign. Maybe they’ll catch on later or maybe they already addressed them not being close.”

Another wrote, “Yeah kids are smart and they pick up on energies even if the adults around them are acting like everything is fine.”

BEYOND THE BEEF

Kourtney was livid at Kim for using her wedding to Travis Barker as a business opportunity in a newly-released clip of their reality show.

A trailer for Season 3 of the Hulu series, The Kardashians, was released and the drama is just getting started.

During some clips in the trailer, Kim and Kourtney appeared to be feuding.

In a sneak peek, Kendall Jenner asked Kim if she talked to Kourtney about Milan.

Kourtney angrily accused Kim of using her wedding as a “business opportunity.”

Kim asked: “She’s mad at me?”

In a confessional interview, Khloe Kardashian said Kourt was “livid.”

“She felt like her wedding vibes were, like, stripped from her,” Kendall said during a conversation between her and sister Kylie Jenner.

“I’m really confused how this narrative came into her head,” Kim explained, adding: “I couldn’t have been more mindful.”

“I said ‘Don’t do anything that Kourtney wore to her wedding,'” Kim explained.

“I see both sides,” Kendall admitted and Kylie agreed.

In a new scene, Kourtney didn’t hold back when she said: “People think it’s a misunderstanding. It’s not. It’s who she is to her core.”
