Whew! Someone get Kim Kardashian on the phone ’cause she might not like this one! North West made waves overnight after announcing her debut album, ‘Elementary School Dropout’ to a live audience in Phoenix, Arizona.
The 10-year-old was in Arizona supporting her father, Ye, formerly Kanye West, at a listening party for ‘Vultures 2.’ At one point during the March 10 event, she took the stage. While in the spotlight, she dropped the bombshell news.
“I’ve been working on an album…” North West said as the crowd went wild. “…called ‘Elementary School Dropout.'”
Northie’s album name is a play on her father’s iconic project, ‘College Dropout.’ Last month marked 20 years since Ye released the 21-track album. It earned him his first three GRAMMY awards at the 47th annual show, including ‘Best Rap Album.’
It’s unclear how far along in the album production process North West is. But her daddy was right at her side while she gagged the audience with the news!
Peep the now-viral moment below.
It’s unclear what this new venture means for North West’s schooling. One thing about Kim Kardashian is that she has expressed her desire to give the kids stability in their education.
At the end of February, Ye demanded via social media that Kim pull their four children — North, Saint, Chicago, and Pslam — from Sierra Canyon. The school tends to be popular among celebrity children.
However, sources close to the situation told The Shade Room that Kimmy wants “consistency for their kids with friends, teachers, and their community.” Meanwhile, Ye has allegedly been telling their children that school “is not necessary.” Our sources added that the hip hop mogul “doesn’t believe in standardized education in general.”
As for whether Kim is on board with North West’s album, we can’t say! However, the innanet did eat up North, making a collab appearance on ‘Vultures 1’ with the track ‘Talking/ Once Again.’
So, could ‘Elementary School Dropout’ be a project welcomed by the masses? We’ll have to wait and see!
