Rapper, Kanye West, has opened up about how his oldest child, North West, has made him fall in love with music again.

According to him, he felt like a child again while crafting “Elementary School Dropout,” North’s debut album.

On Monday, January 20, 2024, the 24-time Grammy winner shared two black-and-white Instagram posts dedicated to his 11-year-old daughter, who’s hard at work on her introductory LP.

West shares North with his ex-wife, Kim Kardashian, with whom he also shares sons Saint, 9, and Psalm, 5, along with daughter Chicago, 7. West began his first post, noting that “this little girl made me love music again 🥲,”, and it showed North sitting in front of a keyboard while wearing a polo fit that looked like it came from her father’s archival collection.

He further indicated that she asked him to make beats for her, and he promptly responded, getting back on the ASR, and producing beats for her, as well as his eleventh album titled “BULLY”.

West captioned a follow-up post “TRAINING 2.0,” showing North, accompanied by West’s first cousin, singer-songwriter WRLDFMS Tony Williams, walking over to a makeshift studio. North, who’s worked on songs like “Talking” and “Bomb” with her father, made her Hollywood Bowl debut in a “Lion King” 30th anniversary cameo last May.

In other news, In a rather unusual display of self-confidence, as many observers describe it, Kanye West went to Instagram and shared several posts particularly aimed at his former fashion collaborator, Adidas, HipHopDX, reports.

Some days ago, he targeted the German athletic apparel brand for allegedly having their website show up on Google first even when you type in “Yeezy” instead. “When you google http://Yeezy.com the adidas site comes before the Yeezy site. Stop doing this. Stop doing your moves to hold me back. Our partnership is done,” he claimed.
