Kylie Jenner sparks frenzy with bold look despite “Cringe” music backlash

Kylie Jenner is turning heads and raising eyebrows as she hits the promo trail for her panned music debut.

The 28-year-old reality TV star stepped out in Los Angeles this week wearing a skimpy top and leather joggers while grabbing smoothies with Hailey Bieber.

The outing came hot on the heels of her debut as a featured artist on Terror Jr’s new track Fourth Strike.

Reviving her 2014 alter ego “King Kylie,” the beauty mogul launched fresh Spotify and Apple Music pages under the retro moniker but fans weren’t feeling her new sound.

Social media users slammed the song as “awful,” mocking her “breathy” vocals and dubbing her “King AutoTune.”

“She saw Addison Rae getting pop girl status and ran to the nearest studio!” one critic joked on X, while another shared a gif captioned, “She can keep it.”

Kylie, who only sings a few whispered lines on the bridge, appeared unfazed by the backlash, flashing her toned abs and signature pout as she promoted the single.

Explaining the collaboration, the Kardashians star told fans: “There was a rumour I sang on Terror Jr’s 3 Strikes years ago — now I finally got to make Fourth Strike for real!”

The track’s release comes as she gears up for her acting debut in Aidan Zamiri’s A24 film The Moment and the return of The Kardashians on October 23.
