North West Raps in Japanese on FKA Twigs’ New Album ‘Eusexua’: Listen
Written by djfrosty on January 24, 2025
North West is saying konnichiwa to the next step in her music career, guesting on FKA Twigs’ new album, Eusexua, almost a year after she made her musical debut on dad Ye’s Vultures 1.
The 11-year-old daughter of the artist formerly known as Kanye West and Kim Kardashian raps in Japanese on “Childlike Things” — the eighth song on the “Perfect Stranger” singer’s 11-track project, which dropped Friday (Jan. 24). Over an effervescent electronic dance beat, North cheerfully spits the following verse, as translated to English by Google: “Hello, my name is North/ From California to Tokyo/ Jesus the King/ Praise God/ Jesus is the only true God.”
The Skims founder and Ye’s eldest daughter is also credited as a writer on the track. Kardashian made sure to promote the collaboration on her Instagram Story, sharing a link and writing proudly, “@fkatwigs ft NORTH out now!”

“Childlike Things” marks North’s first official musical venture outside of her work with Ye, who duetted with his daughter on Vultures 1‘s “Talking” in February 2024. That August, the Yeezy founder dropped Vultures 2 featuring the tween on another song, “Bomb,” on which youngest daughter Chicago West also appears.
Twigs has also previously worked with Ye, teaming up with the “Donda” rapper and Skrillex on Ty Dolla $ign’s “Ego Death” in 2020.
North’s new project comes shortly after Ye revealed on Instagram that he’s been “training” his firstborn in his craft, sharing a video of himself giving the 11-year-old pointers on how to rap. “This little girl made me love music again,” he gushed in another post, captioning a photo of North sitting next to a keyboard.
“She asked me to make beats for her I got back on the ASR,” he added Jan. 21. “Chopped up beats for her album and chopped every beats with my bare hand for BULLY.”
