North West Steals Show at Dad Ye's SoFi Concert
3 Apr
Summary
- North West performed two songs with her father, Ye, at SoFi Stadium.
- This marked Ye's first U.S. performance since 2021.
- Ye's new album 'Bully' received mixed reviews from critics.
Twelve-year-old North West, daughter of Ye (formerly Kanye West) and Kim Kardashian, captivated a sold-out crowd of 70,000 at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles on Wednesday night. She joined her father onstage to perform two songs, marking a significant moment in her burgeoning musical career.
The performance highlighted Ye's return to the U.S. stage for the first time since 2021. North West, dressed in signature black and sunglasses, commanded attention as she delivered tracks including "Miss Westie" and "Piercing on My Wrist." The concert took place atop a giant dome, with both Ye and North appearing to wear harnesses for safety.
Ye's recent album, 'Bully,' released days before the show, has garnered mixed critical reception. Pitchfork described it as "a cheap hit of retro-Kanye," while Rolling Stone offered it 2.5 stars for "fan service, but little substance." Producer James Blake has publicly requested his name be removed from credits for one of the songs, citing significant production differences.
This wasn't North West's first public performance; she previously debuted at Paris Fashion Week in 2020 and performed "Piercing on My Hand" in Mexico City earlier this year. Ye's tour, in support of 'Bully,' continues with another Los Angeles date before heading internationally. The rapper also recently published an essay in the Wall Street Journal, apologizing for past anti-semitic remarks and discussing personal struggles following a car accident.
