The drama between Kim Kardashian and Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, has continued to unfold publicly as the parents' argued over social media about their oldest daughter's presence on TikTok.

The Donda rapper took to Instagram Friday expressing his feelings about North, 8, being on Kardashian's TikTok account.

"Since this is my divorce I need to know what I should do about my daughter being put on TikTok against my will?" he wrote.

Kardashian, the 41-year-old reality TV star, fashion and beauty mogul, fired back on Instagram, writing: "As the parent who is the main provider and caregiver for our children, I am doing my best to protect our daughter while also allowing her to express her creativity in the medium she wishes with adult supervision -- because it brings her happiness."

"What do you mean by main provider?" Ye, 44, responded.

The 21-time Grammy winner recently elaborated further in an interview on the matter with Hollywood Unlocked.

"Don’t have my daughter wearing lipstick on TikTok. Don’t have her on TikTok at all if I don’t approve of that," he said. "I feel like it’s poking the bear -- trying to antagonize me."

North and her mom have a joint TikTok account that indicated it is "managed by an adult."

"A judge looking at all of this is going to be looking at the content. Is it appropriate content?" Attorney and legal analyst Areva Martin told "Good Morning America." "But there are no hard and fast rules that a child 8 years old with parental supervision cannot post a video on TikTok."

Parenting expert and "Parenting for the Future" podcast host Petal Modeste told "GMA" that putting the child first is key in difficult conversations like this.

"It doesn't matter how famous you are -- those kinds of situations are private, and they should be because always parents need to think about what's in the best interest of our children or our child," Modeste said.

Kardashian filed for divorce from Ye in February 2021 after almost seven years of marriage and filed to be legally single in December 2021. They have four children together North, 8, Saint, 6, Chicago, 4, and Psalm, 2.
