North also dressed down for the occasion, embracing a tie-dye look.
The youngster wore a leopard look print Guns N’ Roses T-shirt with gold sleeves which she paired with pink and grey tie dye shorts.
She finished off her outfit with a white socks and a pair of classic Nike high top trainers.
It is not known if North was in trouble with her mum, but both looked downcast throughout the outing.
The public row between Kim and Kanye started when the US rapper accused the reality mogul of putting their eldest daughter North on TikTok against his will.
The Touch The Sky hitmaker took to Instagram to beg fans for help as he shared a screenshot of his eldest daughter's latest viral video.
He captioned the post: "SINCE THIS IS MY FIRST DIVORCE I NEED TO KNOW WHAT I SHOULD DO ABOUT MY DAUGHTER BEING PUT ON TIK TOK AGAINST MY WILL."
Kim hit back by sharing an eye-opening statement about their current relationship on her Stories.
She said: “Kanye’s constant attacks on me in interviews and on social media is actually more hurtful than any TikTok North might create.
"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 that she wishes with adult supervision – because it brings her happiness.
"Divorce is difficult enough on our children and Kanye’s obsession with trying to control and manipulate our situation so negatively and publicly is only causing further pain for all.
“From the beginning | have wanted nothing but a healthy and supportive co-parenting relationship because it is what is best for our children and it saddens me that Kanye continues to make it impossible every step of the way."
It wasn't long before Kanye clapped back: "What do you mean by main provider?
"America saw you try to kid nap my daughter on her birthday by not providing the address.
“You put security on me inside of the house to play with my son then accused me of stealing I had to take a drug test after Chicago’s party cause you accused me of being on drugs.”
Kim has said she wants to continue their row in private, but it remains to be seen whether Kayne will respect that.
