Overview
- A short video from the Vetements menswear show circulated online showing North West extend her hand for a handshake before an adult man hugged her and posed for a photo.
- British rapper Skepta amplified the footage on X and urged Kim Kardashian and Kanye West to “protect your kids,” saying the interaction showed grown adults ignoring clear body‑language cues.
- Page Six identified the man as 23‑year‑old model Matteo Sinet and quoted an unnamed source saying North was not uncomfortable, a claim that contrasts with many viewers who said she appeared awkward.
- Reports note North attended the show without her parents present and that representatives for Kardashian, West and Sinet have not issued substantive public statements about the exchange.
- The episode has focused renewed attention on child safety and supervision at adult industry events as North builds a public career in fashion and music, prompting calls for clearer boundaries and better awareness of minors’ signals.
