A teenage TikTok star has been left confused by Kim Kardashian after the reality star made her take down a video she had posted.
That Girl Lay Lay, 14, is also a rapper and was invited to play with Kim’s daughter North, eight.
But she was left baffled by the SKIMS founder’s demands to remove a video of the pair playing together from her social media channel.
In a now-deleted post, Lay Lay wrote: “@kimkardashian texted me to take down the new TikTok video with North in it…I don’t know why…”

She continued: “They invited ME to their house… this industry SUCKS!”
The youngster then explained that she had asked why the request had came about, but hadn’t received a reply at the time.
“I asked what did I do wrong and they didn’t answer me… so confused on what this industry is… just trying to make good positive music for the #nevergiveup,” she wrote.

The post wasn’t the first time North had featured in a video with up-coming star.
The two were seen to be having fun together last year in a video that the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star mustn’t have been opposed to.
North was also mentioned by name in Lay Lay’s caption at the time. “Hey y’all!!,” she said. “North west and i are hanging out today!!!! check out our tiktok!❤️ follow my tiktok account-litgirllay,”
But now CMO of KKW brands and close friend of the Kardashians, Tracy Romulus, has attempted to diffuse the situation by posting a lengthy response on Instagram.
She admitted that it was her and not Kim or Kanye West who had got in touch with Lay Lay’s dad to arrange the play date as North was a fan of hers.
She wrote: “I’m sorry it was not explained to her in a way for her to understand (because I very clearly explained to the dad) but Lay Lay was invited over 1 YEAR ago for a private child’s play date – not to be filmed and for that footage to be used in a music video over 1 year later.”

Tracy added that Kim and Kanye had allowed for one TikTok to be posted following the pair’s meeting after they discovered that she had filmed several.
And she had some stern advice for the youngster: “As Lay Lay grows older and she continues to have a career in this industry she will have to learn that nobody can film you and use your image without permission.” she wrote.
Tracy also said that Kim and Kanye were well within their rights to refuse permission of the post being used “for promotional purposes” – just as Lay Lay’s parents could also refuse images of their daughter being used by others.
