On Sunday (March 10), the 10-year-old eldest daughter of Kanye "Ye" West and Kim Kardashian appeared on stage alongside her father at his Vultures 2 listening party in Phoenix, Arizona.
North West asks her mom Kim Kardashian why she's famous:
The young Kardashian star got on stage at the Footprint Center and stood under a huge spotlight with her famous dad. She sported an oversized black graphic shirt and baggy sweatpants, which were paired with a huge pair of knee-high boots and a fluffy hat.
Speaking to the loud audience, West revealed: "I’ve been working on an album...and it’s called Elementary School Dropout."
Watch the moment below:The announcement led to uproarious roars from the crowd, who were excited that the young girl would release an album that is an homage to the 'DONDA' rapper's 2004 debut album, The College Dropout.
The hit record sold 441,000 copies in its first week of sales and eventually went 4x platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America in 2020, according to The Sun.
Many fans took to their social media to express their excitement, with one user writing: "North is such a star & there’s nothing anyone can do about it," while another said: "She's going to give Gen Z what her father gave us with College dropout. As it is written."
A third added: "I just like the fact that she's seems to really rock with her dad and his legacy. That’s dope… that’s the dream," while a fourth shared: "I can’t wait to see how far this little kid goes in life lmaoooooo she a mini ye fr."
However, some users were concerned due to North's age as one disappointed person shared: "Can we please stop pushing children into entertainment like good lord," with another voicing their disapproval: "I’m praying she didn’t actually drop out of elementary school."
"I've been giggling at this for so long... PUT THIS CHILD IN SCHOOL !!!" someone added, and one more noted: "You can do anything as long as you’re rich and famous."
The daughter of the former A-List couple is no stranger to the music world, as she previously made her rap debut on Vultures, which is Ye's collaborative album with Ty Dolla $ign.
She appeared in the music video for the song 'Talking / Once Again,' during which she raps a verse on the track: "It’s your bestie, Miss, Miss Westie / Don't tryna test me / It's gonna get messy / It's gonna get messy / Just, just bless me." The song earned her a coveted spot on Billboard's Hot 100 list, claiming the 30th spot - making her one of the youngest artists to be featured on the chart.
She also appeared on stage with the 'Gold Digger' rapper - who also shares kids Saint, eight, Chicago, six, and Psalm, four, with the reality TV star - at several of his shows, and has revealed her high ambitions for the future.
During her interview with i-D magazine in October 2023, she shared: "A basketball player, a rapper, um … Well, when I was seven, I wanted to be a boxer. But now I don’t want to be a boxer. I’m going to do art on the side," as cited by US Weekly.
"When I’m, like, thirteen, I want to walk dogs, to make money to buy art supplies, because everything around here is so expensive," she continued. "So a rapper, a basketball player and I’m going to make artwork that I sell. Also, one day I want to own Yeezy and SKIMS, and I want to be a business owner."
The release date for Elementary School Drop has not been revealed.
