At the ‘Vultures 2’ listening party in Phoenix, Arizona, the music world received an unexpected announcement from a rather unconventional source—10-year-old North West, daughter of Kanye West and Kim Kardashian, revealed that she is working on her debut album titled ‘Elementary School Dropout.’

The revelation, made during the event on Sunday, March 10, 2024, has set social media abuzz with mixed reactions. Concerns have surfaced among users who question whether the young talent is serious about trading the classroom for the studio at such a tender age.

North West has already dipped her toes into the music scene, having made a guest appearance on her father’s latest album, ‘Vultures 1.’ Her collaboration on the track ‘Talking,’ alongside Kanye West and TY Dolla $ign, marked her Billboard Hot 100 debut, showcasing a glimpse of her musical abilities.

Taking center stage at the Foot Print Centre in Phoenix, North West confidently declared to the crowd, “Hi, it’s Northie, and I’ve been working on an album. And it’s called ‘Elementary School Dropout.’” The announcement not only surprised attendees but also drew attention to the striking personality and artistic resemblance North West shares with her famous father.

Notably, her debut album draws inspiration from Kanye West’s 2004 groundbreaking release, ‘The College Dropout,’ which earned him his first Rap Album of the Year accolade and achieved 4x RIAA platinum status.

As fans eagerly anticipate North West’s musical journey, questions arise about the parental perspective. Will Kanye West and Kim Kardashian permit their 10-year-old daughter to forgo elementary education in pursuit of her budding music career?
