Hey, Billboard, make sure the next time you tweet a hilarious, timely joke about a sex tape created over a decade ago you dont blatantly sexualize a toddler, mmkay?
On Thursday night, Billboard tweeted a photo of North West eating a lollipop next to Kim Kardashian West with the caption,
The apple doesnt fall far from the tree
The tweet was quickly deleted.

Even in a world that has sexualized youth for centuries, it takes an especially sick person to see a photo of a 2-year-old eating a lollipop and equate it to a grown woman eating a Ray J.
Twitter users are demanding Billboard apologize for being a gross-ass monster.
Dear @Billboard,
Delete. Apologize. Immediately.
Signed,
Everyone on Twitter.
And everyone not on Twitter.— Michael Skolnik (@MichaelSkolnik) October 30, 2015

.@billboard she’s a damn baby. An editor should never position such innuendo on the image of a child, regardless of her famous parent.

This tweet/pic are reprehensible @billboard. Stop exploiting children for clicks. https://t.co/jozZbfBMD5

This is so disgusting, @billboard. How dare you do that to a child? https://t.co/9ZrjVOS4hQ

Slut-shaming women isn’t okay. Slut-shaming baby girls is really not okay. I don’t care who their mothers are. https://t.co/aFk2RqNkiR

A few usersclaimed the tweet was referring to North telling paparazzi, “No pictures!” like her famous father.
@JamilSmith @MichaelSkolnik @billboard Aren’t you reading a little too much into this? Im pretty sure they were referring to “no pictures”.

I read that Billboard “article”. It’s about how North is taking control of her image like Kanye by telling the paparazzi no pictures…

Otherspointed out the picture chosento represent the article was an intentionalslight.
.@Helmstetler828 @JamilSmith @billboard if they were really referring to no pictures, why didnt they use a picture of North with Kanye?
— Michael Skolnik (@MichaelSkolnik) October 30, 2015
The photo & caption are cheap clickbait; if not they would’ve posted a photo with North and her father. Billboard knew what they were doing.

But to add the image–which rests on misogyny against Kim, anyway–and imply what @billboard did against this child North, is VIOLENT.

Millions of pictures of Kim and North. Billions of headlines to write. That’s what Billboard came up with? Ok boss. Move around.

Americas First Family is an easy target. Surely haters dont have to sexually ridicule an innocent child to get the job done.
