Japanese kawaii metallers BABYMETAL got a big viral bump on TikTok this week thanks to Kim Kardashian and her daughter North West. The aforementioned 12-year-old North West, who is also the daughter of notorious rapper Kanye West, took to dressing up as BABYMETAL for Halloween.
The resulting videos she shared in costume have since racked up millions of views each. Ironically, at least one member of the Kardashian clan taking to enjoying relatively heavier music follows years of criticism aimed at celebrities, including Kim, for wearing shirts and merch from various heavy metal bands for the aesthetic, rather than actual fandom.
