Billboard have apologised for this 'vile' tweet about North West

The tweet did NOT sit well.

POOR LITTLE NORTH West can’t catch a break, and she’s only two years old.

The little girl was captured on camera telling paparazzi that she didn’t want her photo taken, and now she’s the center of a twitterstorm surrounding some controversial tweets by music magazine, Billboard.

This is the offending tweet that caused the backlash, which linked to the story about the paparazzi incident:

The tweet appeared for two hours on the official Twitter account, before it was deleted among a flurry of Twitter users claiming it was laden with innuendo.

.@billboard Please take down the title of your article. The headline and picture regarding North West is vile and very distrubing.

Whoops!

We couldn't find this Tweet

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

Still repulsed that @Billboard wrote a story about how cute and sassy it was that a child thought she had the right to control her body.

We apologize for the tweet involving North West. The caption was about her comments to paparazzi. The suggestion some see was not intended.
