  • North West accompanies Kim Kardashian to glitzy events like Paris Fashion Week and the Met Gala, and even owns Michael Jackson memorabilia gifted by her mum
  • At 10, her ambitions include becoming a rapper, basketball player and painter, but what she really wants is to own her parents’ brands, Yeezy and Skims, when she grows up

The best thing about being North West? According to the 10-year-old herself, “Everything.”

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West’s firstborn has grown up with the world’s eyes on her. Already an icon – and “the best of all”, in her own words – North just landed her first solo magazine cover along with an interview for i-D.

North revealed that she’s inherited her father’s love for music and performing, saying, “I like singing. Performing is my favourite.” When asked where the interest stems from she said, “mostly from me. And then a little bit of my dad”.

In 2020, North famously showcased her vocals for the first time at the Yeezy show during Paris Fashion Week, singing, “What are those, these are clothes.”

According to the interview, her favourite song is Ye’s “Through the Wire” and when asked if there’s one person she wants to meet, she picked Tupac Shakur, one of the most influential rappers of all time.
