North’s popular video sparked a social media controversy over whether she was too young to be working on such an album.
North West, Kim Kardashian’s eldest kid, is following in her father’s footsteps. Taking the stage alongside Kanye West at a Vultures listening party, the 10-year-old revealed her impending debut album, Elementary School Dropout. The video of North’s announcement has been circulating on social media, eliciting a variety of emotions from netizens.
In a video released by Pop Base on X, formerly Twitter, North is heard telling the audience, “I’ve been working on an album, and it’s called Elementary School Dropout.” She dashed off stage immediately following the statement, eliciting loud shouts from the audience. The Flashing Lights rapper, who was also on stage, is seen sporting a mask and his typical all-black outfit.
Netizens are divided over 10-year-old North West’s debut album.
North’s popular video sparked a debate on social media over whether she is too young to be working on such an album. Many people expressed worries about the album’s title, which looks to be a reference to Kanye’s 2004 debut album, The College Dropout. On X, formerly Twitter, one admirer said, “I’m praying she didn’t actually drop out of elementary school.” Another person said, “You can do anything as long as you’re rich and famous.”
Meanwhile, another commenter chastised North for nepotism, writing, “We don’t really care, but it won’t flop because of nepotism.” Another person commented, “Everyone wants to become an artist even the talentless ones.” Another wrote, “Does Kim know about this?”
Despite the hateful remarks, many people came out in favor of North, posting congratulatory words on the platform. One fan said, “Coming to save pop music.” Another stated, “Most anticipated album of the year.” One more person wrote, “COMING FOR THAT YOUNGEST GRAMMY WINNER TITLE OH IKTR!” Another user stated in her support, “We will listen.”
