Kim Kardashian<\/a>‘s<\/strong> followers may have noticed that her recent spring break trip to Tokyo wasn\u2019t exactly a full family vacation. The entrepreneur\/reality TV star posted plenty of pics on Instagram featuring herself and her three youngest children (Saint<\/strong>, Chicago<\/strong>, and Psalm<\/strong>). And while sis Chloe<\/strong> made an appearance, Kardashian\u2019s eldest daughter, North West<\/strong>, was noticeably absent.<\/p>\n Yes, there are a zillion possible reasons North didn’t appear in the photos. Maybe she was there and didn\u2019t want to pose for the camera. Maybe she had school. Or maybe she was prepping for a major concert debut\u2014with her dad, Kanye West<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n The tween (she\u2019ll turn 13 this summer) joined Ye onstage while performing at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles on Wednesday<\/a>, 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.<\/p>\n 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<\/a> to perform in front of thousands. And it looks like Ye\u2019s fans were more than happy to hear North\u2019s songs \u2018Piercing On My Hand\u2019 and \u2018Talking.\u2019<\/p>\n While plenty of positive comments poured in on social media, some weren\u2019t exactly glowing. Along with raves such as \u201cThe show was absolutely amazing in every possible way,\u201d and \u201cHis spitting image\u2026twins!\u201d, some took a different approach. One commenter wrote, on Us Weekly\u2019sInstagram<\/a> post, \u201cDoesn\u2019t this man have 4 kids?? Why is she the only one he’s ever seen with??\u201d<\/p>\n Regardless of what Ye\u2019s fans thought, it seems like North has her own following. The budding superstar recently posted a clip of her original music<\/a> on Instagram<\/a>, captioning the now-viral video, \u201cep soon.\u201d Commenters gushed, \u201cThis is fire,\u201d \u201cKeep going\u2026I need more beats,\u201d and, \u201cShe literally has infinite swag.\u201d<\/p>\n Of course, this wasn’t exactly North\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n Sure, it\u2019s a very different type of performance than her most recent one. But, like her daddy-daughter duet, it also got plenty of attention. Kardashian<\/a> fiercely defended her daughter against a nepo baby backlash, \u201cAs 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.\u201d<\/p>\n This story was originally published by Parade<\/a> on Apr 3, 2026, where it first appeared in the News<\/a> section.
