The rising musical artist – as well as her siblings Chicago, six, and Psalm, five – also joined their father onstage at the Rolling Loud Festival in California this March.
North opened up about her love of singing on the cover of i-D last October, explaining that ‘performing is my favorite,’ and the passion comes ‘mostly from me… and then a little bit of my dad.’
When asked what she wants to be when she grows up, North said ‘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,’ added North.
Kim and Kanye were married from 2014 to 2022, sharing North, Saint, 8, Chicago, 6, and 5-year-old Psalm.
