North West’s Awkward Interaction With French Model Goes Viral During Paris Fashion Week

North West‘s awkward interaction with a 23-year-old model during Paris Fashion Week went viral, as many pointed out how uncomfortable the tween looked.

“A blind man could see she wanted a handshake,” English rapper Skepta wrote via X on Saturday, June 27, alongside a clip of the meeting.

The video, which has garnered millions of views since it was posted, shows the freshly 13-year-old holding out her hand for a handshake before Matteo Sinet leans in for an awkward side hug. The two then posed for photos where they each showed off their grills.

“My fans know I try to stay out of people’s business but damn the way grown men, complete strangers, try to use North makes me sick,” Skepta later shared, adding five vomit emojis.

Many social media users agreed with Skepta, calling the interaction “weird” and “disgusting.”

However, this is not the first time North — the eldest child of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West — has met Sinet. The French influencer has shared multiple photos with the tween in recent months, including from their latest meeting.

“Like I understand she famous cuss of her parents but I couldn’t imagine my grown self asking a child for a picture because he’s a fan? Her clout? Like what is the reason besides he parents are famous 😭” one follower commented on Sinet’s recent post.

“This is the 5th time he’s posting a photo with her and now he’s shirtless,” another wrote.

Others pointed out that Sinet shared the image with Loe Shimmy and Don Toliver‘s “3am,” which many called a “wild” choice.
