Life father, like daughter? It would seem North West is following in the steps of her dad, Kanye West, musically, that is.
Spotted on HipHopDX, Ye’s seed, North, is gearing up to bless her besties with an album that pays direct homage to her father’s first project.
During Vultures 2’s “listening event” in Phoenix on Sunday (March 10), standing side by side with her dad, North West announced that her album was coming.
“I’ve been working on an album, and it is called Elementary School Dropout,” the 10-year-old told her dad’s loyal to fault fans.
If you’re saying that to yourself, that sounds familiar, but it is because it is a cheeky play on her West’s first album, College Dropout, which introduced the rapping super producer to the Hip-Hop world.
The album arrives after Northie made her rapping debut on the Ty Dolla $ign assisted album Vultures 1 track, “Talking.”
In the song, the daughter of Ye and Kim Kardashian rapped, “I love it here/We’re gonna take over another year/It’s your bestie, Miss, Miss Westie/Don’t try to test me/It’s gonna get messy/ Just, just bless me, bless me/It’s your bestie, Miss, Miss Westie.”
Ye’s other children, Psalm and Chicago, were at the listening event and hit the stage while their older sister spit her bars.
Oh The Irony
West’s exposing his kids to social media and public light is strange because he has made big stinks about North being on TikTok and his ex-wife, Kim Kardashian, exposing them to social media.
Also, the hypocritical religious zealot wants everyone and the world to see his wife Bianca Censori’s goodies because he’s currently dressing her in as little clothing as possible.
When Will North West’s Album Arrive?
No word on when North West’s album is dropping. Maybe he will release it alongside Vultures 2, which he claims will not be available on digital streaming platforms. So there is a good chance it won’t see the light of day.
The first Vultures project had to be pulled due to numerous copyright issues. The rapper/producer, famous for making beats using samples, somehow forgot how clearing them works.
Honestly, add this North West album to something we (particularly this writer) aren’t checking for.

Kim Kardashian has shared that when it comes to co-parenting with her ex-husband, Kanye West, he’s still considered the fan favorite.
During a recent episode of The Kardashians, the two eldest Kardashians sisters, Kourtney and Kim, were discussing co-parenting with their ex-husbands and the challenges of overcoming being hurt by their children preferring to stay at the residence of their fathers versus theirs. During the sisterly chat, Kim revealed that her oldest daughter, North West, revealed she prefers to spend time with her dad because he “has it all figured out.”
“She’ll be like, ‘Dad is the best,’” Kim K. said. “‘He has it all figured out. He doesn’t have a nanny, he doesn’t have a chef, he doesn’t have security. He lives in an apartment.’ And she’ll start crying, ‘Why don’t you have an apartment? I can’t believe we don’t have an apartment.’”
Following the revelation, Kourtney empathized with the situation, sharing that her three children with ex, Scott Disick feel the same.
“They do that at Scott’s too,” Kourtney Kardashian said. “‘Dad has the best house, your house sucks. He has the best house. It’s not super big, the vibe is better.’ I feel like everything falls on the parent that’s more involved.’”
Clearly feeling upset, the SKIMS founder quipped that the children felt more independent due to “making ramen noodles” while under the care of Yeezy.
“They make their own food. That is amazing that you make Ramen,” Kim K said, to which Kourtney added, “You boil water and pour it onto some noodles.”
Later in the show during the confessional, Kim shared that Kourtney believes that 10-year-old North is the reality star’s “lesson” in her life. “I’m supposed to learn even more about patience—she teaches me patience. She has taught me a lot about life,” she shared.
Kim also shares seven-year-old Saint, five-year-old Chicago, and four-year-old Psalm with her ex-husband Ye; their divorce was finalized in November 2022, almost two years after she filed to end their 6-year marriage. Following the dissolution, Kardashian faced backlash in May after seemingly calling herself a single mother, stating that she has “no one there to help” during a podcast interview with Jay Shetty. Addressing the controversy, Kardashian said:
“I think I’m still learning how to be a single parent. Obviously, having nannies and a chef to help cook is beyond helpful. It’s all about family and enjoying these moments. It takes a village to raise kids, but at the end of the day, your kids only want you. The struggles that my kids go through really have nothing to do with the amount of help that I have.”

North West pays tribute to her dad Ye aka Kanye West’s Graduation album by dressing up as the “Dropout Bear” mascot for Halloween.
On Saturday morning (Oct. 28), North West shared a video to the TikTok account that she shares with her mother Kim Kardashian. The video begins with the 10-year-old facing the camera operated by her mother, showing off how much she resembles her father, Ye aka Kanye West before donning the head of the “Dropout Bear” costume and dancing around to a sped-up version of “American Boy,” the 2007 smash hit by Estelle which featured Ye.
There were two other posts on the popular social media platform featuring the preteen in the costume. One showed her singing and dancing to “I Wonder,” from the Grammy Award-winning Graduation album and the other featured her dancing nonstop for almost a minute in full costume to “Can’t Tell Me Nothing.”
The costume itself is the one from West’s third album, Graduation, which showed the “Dropout Bear” mascot decked out in dark denim jeans, a blue and gray varsity jacket and a “Jesus piece” chain. The artwork of the bear was done by Japanese artist Takashi Murakami. The mascot became famous after being featured on the cover of West’s debut album The College Dropout in 2004.
It’s not the first time that North has paid homage to her famous father. Earlier this year, she showed off an outfit featuring a Ralph Lauren long-sleeved rugby shirt with blue and orange stripes similar to what Ye wore at the time of The College Dropout’s release. The spooky season of Halloween has seen North West and her siblings honor other notable music artists in the past. Last year, she dressed as the late singer Aaliyah wearing a full ensemble by Tommy Hilfiger while Saint dressed up as Snoop Dogg. Chicago dressed like the singer Sade, and Psalm sported a costume inspired by the late Eazy-E.

North West is her mood, and she is expressing it on what her dad Kanye West considers the devil, TikTok.
Another thing we didn’t see coming, like Tyga and Avril Lavigne swirling, is North West being a fan of Hip-Hop’s hottest star, Ice Spice.
The oldest of Ye and Kim Kardashian’s flock is currently expressing her love for the Bronx rapper on TikTok, and it has become the latest thing Twitter is debating about.
In her latest post, North West took things to another level by dressing up as the “Munch” rapper and dancing alongside friends to “Boys a Liar Pt.2,” a collaborative hit from Ice Spice and Pink Pantheress.
North West gets her cosplay on by rocking an orange wig and Juicy Couture sweatsuit compliment with two chains, one closely resembling Ice Spice’s $100,000 diamond signature neck jewelry with her face on it.
In another video, Ice Spice is in a TikTok post with arguably her most famous fan.
The Yeezy Fans Mount Up For Kanye West
The relatively harmless post has Twitter, primarily those still rocking with AntisemYE, claiming he was right to feel a way about Kim Kardashian allowing their daughter to be on the uber-popular social media platform.
West has made it clear he is not a fan of TikTok, and his loyal fans got “Kanye Was Right” trending. One user shared a video of Yeezy explaining his disdain for his ex-wife antagonizing him by allowing his daughter to be on TikTok.
“Father, I know y’all don’t respect fathers and the idea of family, and the media tries to promote something. I said, ‘I am not allowing my daughter to be used by TikTok, to be used by Disney.’ I have a say so,” West said in the clip. Remember, he also bought Kim K $100,000 worth of Disney stock, so the hypocrisy is loud with this one.
“Kanye was right,” another user began their tweet. “There’s no way a 9-year-old should be idolizing ice spice and listening to her music about twerking and having $ex with men… Kim is a terrible parent.”
Some feel people need to lighten the hell up and relax, saying Northy is just being a kid like everyone else and having fun.
“Y’all saying Kim is wrong and Kanye needs custody bc North got to hang out with her fav artist is so goofy. Y’all are the most miserable group of adults ever,” another Twitter user wrote in a tweet.
The former adidas collaborator has not said anything about his daughter’s latest TikTok posts. Still, he is back on Instagram, so we expect some shenanigans in the form of an IG post to arrive.

1. Exactly
2. LOL, facts
North West continued her hot streak on TikTok over the weekend by tapping Ice Spice for help in making a viral video.
The clip posted Saturday depicts the rising rapper lip-syncing to a TikTok mash-up of her 2023 single “In Ha Mood” and The Buggles’ “Video Killed the Radio Star” as Kim Kardashian and Kanye West’s eldest daughter playfully raps along next to her. However, the TikTok fun didn’t end there. Two days later, North decided to double down on the video by dressing up as Ice Spice, complete with a curly red wig and her signature chain and re-create the moment — stitching together the original snippet with a friend for double the lip-sync madness.
In another video, North, her friends and Ice dance along to the song before Kardashian makes a quick cameo to blow the camera a kiss. A third features Ice Spice’s hit collab with PinkPantheress, “Boy’s a Liar, Pt. 2” — which has so far peaked at No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 — as the rapper raids Kardashian’s fridge with the girls to the lyrics, “And I can’t eat enough with you.”
It’s certainly no secret that North is a fan of the artist otherwise known as Isis Gaston after declaring the “Bikini Bottom” songstress was one of her favorites in a series of TikToks filmed late last month with Selena Gomez’s younger sister Gracie Teefey.
Check out North West’s adorable series of TikToks with Ice Spice below.
North West and Selena Gomez‘s little sister Gracie Teefey are the friendship goals we never knew we needed. The two shared a series of TikToks over the weekend, in which they give fans a cute look into their process of making pasta from scratch.

In the videos shared to North and her mom Kim Kardashian’s TikTok page, Gracie and North experiment as they make their pasta and share the steps along the way, including cracking eggs on top of flour, mixing the dough and, most importantly, applying lip gloss before delving into their cooking.
Nine-year-old Gracie revealed that she actually tried making pasta before with Kourtney Kardashian’s daughter and North’s cousin, Penelope Disick. “If it was a fail, does that count?” Gracie joked, before adding, “I did make it with Penelope and then I threw up after.”
Unfortunately, the two pals did not share their final product or a taste test. See their four-part pasta journey on TikTok here.
North West has become a popular TikTok personality, as fans have grown to love the nine-year-old’s sense of humor and care for her three younger siblings. In January, she shared a video in which she looks exactly like her father, Kanye West, thanks to an oversized hoodie, knit beanie and special effects makeup. She and her mom vibe to West’s 2013 track “Bound 2,” the words “Bound Baby” written in black text on the video.
