North West has been hailed as the ‘princess of rap’ by fans after she debuted her new song on her father Kanye West‘s new album at his listening party in Miami on Monday.
The 10-year-old daughter of the rapper, 46, and Kim Kardashian, 43, lip-synced along to her verse in the song You Don’t Want (North Interlude) from Kanye’s collaboration with Ty Dolla $ign.
North was the carbon copy of her famous father as she took to the stage with bundles of confidence and in an all black outfit to perform to the crowd.
She mimed along to the verse: ‘I love it here. We’re going to take over the year. It’s your bestie. Miss, Miss Westie. Don’t try to test me, it’s gonna get messy. It’s gonna get messy. Just, just bless me’, while Ye looked on proudly.
Fans took to X – formerly known as Twitter – after the clip began to circulate on social media, with some hailing Kanye’s daughter as a ‘musical genius’.

Tweets included: ‘north west rap way better than me and I’m honestly not mad’ and ‘North West the new queen of rap I fear…’
‘North west is the REAL princess of rap’ and ‘North West rap like Adonis’.
The ambitious 10-year-old previously spoke about her career ambitions in an interview with i-D. She said: ‘Well, when I was seven, I wanted to be a boxer. But now I don’t want to be a boxer. I’m going to do art on the side.
‘When I’m, like, thirteen, I want to walk dogs, to make money to buy art supplies, because everything around here is so expensive. So a rapper, a basketball player, and I’m going to make artwork that I sell.’
But Kayne’s album might be in trouble after he reportedly failed to get permission to use a sample from the Backstreet Boys.
The controversial rapper has lately been teasing a song featuring a significant sample of the iconic boy band’s 1997 hit, which also includes additional interpolation of the tune by West’s album collaborator Ty Dolla Sign.
He showcased the song in full on Monday night’s album launch party, when he also shocked fans by wearing a pointy black cloth hood reminiscent of a Ku Klux Klan uniform.
Sources close the the Backstreet Boys told TMZ on Tuesday that West never got clearance for the sample from the group, which is comprised of members Nick Carter, Howie Dorough, Brian Littrell, AJ McLean and Kevin Richardson.

Video of the rapper playing the track for a rapturous crowd indicate that his song — which a track listing indicates is also titled Everybody — opens with what sounds like a slowed-down, pitch-shifted sample of the opening of the Backstreet Boys’ single, along with extra percussion, bass and synthesizer tones.
Then the song shifts into a version of Ty Dolla Sign appearing to sing the original song’s lyrics.
However, TMZ added the version of the song played in Miami for his album launch also seems to have additional voices covering the chorus, which could mean that it is not technically a sample, but rather an interpolation, or a new performance of the music without the original track featured.
Kanye’s reported lack of clearance for Everybody could shake up his album release strategy, as he is said to be planning to release his LP Vultures this week.
