Kim Kardashian‘s followers may have noticed that her recent spring break trip to Tokyo wasn’t exactly a full family vacation. The entrepreneur/reality TV star posted plenty of pics on Instagram featuring herself and her three youngest children (Saint, Chicago, and Psalm). And while sis Chloe made an appearance, Kardashian’s eldest daughter, North West, was noticeably absent.
Yes, there are a zillion possible reasons North didn’t appear in the photos. Maybe she was there and didn’t want to pose for the camera. Maybe she had school. Or maybe she was prepping for a major concert debut—with her dad, Kanye West.
The tween (she’ll turn 13 this summer) joined Ye onstage while performing at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles on Wednesday, April 1. And no, this isn’t a nepo baby stunt. The daughter of two ultra-famous high-profile celebs has some serious talent. And props to the 12-year-old for venturing out onto the stage of a packed arena.
At a time when most kiddos tremble at the thought of singing in front of parents at a school talent show, North had the courage and confidence to perform in front of thousands. And it looks like Ye’s fans were more than happy to hear North’s songs ‘Piercing On My Hand’ and ‘Talking.’
While plenty of positive comments poured in on social media, some weren’t exactly glowing. Along with raves such as “The show was absolutely amazing in every possible way,” and “His spitting image…twins!”, some took a different approach. One commenter wrote, on Us Weekly’sInstagram post, “Doesn’t this man have 4 kids?? Why is she the only one he’s ever seen with??”
Regardless of what Ye’s fans thought, it seems like North has her own following. The budding superstar recently posted a clip of her original music on Instagram, captioning the now-viral video, “ep soon.” Commenters gushed, “This is fire,” “Keep going…I need more beats,” and, “She literally has infinite swag.”
Of course, this wasn’t exactly North’s first time appearing in front of thousands of screaming fans. Back in 2024, the then-10-year-old played the role of Young Simba in The Lion King 30th Anniversary concert at the Hollywood Bowl.
Sure, it’s a very different type of performance than her most recent one. But, like her daddy-daughter duet, it also got plenty of attention. Kardashian fiercely defended her daughter against a nepo baby backlash, “As a mom, just seeing your child have so much fun and not be nervous at all, she did such a great job. And anyone who is hating on a kid is just a hater.”
