North West announced that she was working on an album in 2024.
Cleary inspired by her dad, who has an album titled The College Dropout, North previously revealed that her debut album will be called Elementary School Dropout. “I’ve been working on an album,” she announced at a listening party for her dad’s album Vultures 2 in March 2024. While she has not released the album yet, Elementary School Dropout is not the first project she’s worked on. She has collaborated with her dad in the past, appearing on his songs “Talking” and “Bomb.” The 11-year-old has also collaborated with Ty Dolla $ign, appearing on “You Don’t Want (North Interlude).”
Kim Kardashian has said North prefers living with her dad.
In 2023, Kim opened up about the things North would say to her after spending time with her dad Ye. “She’ll be like, ‘Dad is the best,'” Kim said on an episode of The Kardashians. From North’s perspective, her dad “has it all figured out” because “he doesn’t have a nanny, he doesn’t have a chef, he doesn’t have security, [and] he lives in an apartment.” After staying with her dad, North would ask her mom why she didn’t have an apartment like Ye did. “She’ll start crying, ‘Why don’t you have an apartment? I can’t believe we don’t have an apartment,'” Kim said at the time.
Prior to the recent visit, Ye reportedly hadn’t seen his kids in months.
According to the Daily Mail, Ye has spent the past several months traveling between China, Japan, and the Maldives. Earlier in January, he and Bianca celebrated her birthday in Dubai. A source previously told People that Kim is essentially raising her kids as “a single mom” because “Kanye is sadly not around very much.”
