Megyn Kelly is criticizing Kim Kardashian and Kanye West over the increasingly public career of their 13-year-old daughter North West, arguing that the former couple is moving too quickly as North releases music, performs live and develops an image of her own.
Kelly addressed North during the August 25 episode of The Megyn Kelly Show with Dr. Drew Pinsky, focusing on her new Dazed cover, blue hair, piercings and recent music video. According to TMZ, Kelly accused Kardashian and West of "rushing" to turn their daughter into a star without adequately considering the potential downside of growing up in public.
North's music career has accelerated considerably in 2026. She released the six-track debut EP N0rth4evr in May, performed her first solo festival set in June and released a music video for "Aishite" in August. Her fall Dazed cover followed, accompanied by an interview about music, fashion and what she wants to do next.
Kelly's criticism arrives as North herself is insisting that starting young is her choice, while Kardashian has previously defended her daughter's self-expression and acknowledged making parenting decisions she later reconsidered.
Kelly compared North's life with that of her own son Thatcher, who is close to the same age, before questioning how quickly North has been moved into professional entertainment. "My son is riding his bike, playing tennis, and playing something called bucket golf with his buddies in the backyard," Kelly said in the show's coverage of the discussion.
