At 12 years old, North West is already getting people talking… and not exactly because she’s the daughter of celebrities. Kim Kardashian and Kanye West’s daughter released her first music EP, opting for a rather unexpected style: a mix of rap and rock.

The project marks her official debut in music and quickly became a topic of conversation on social media, not only because of her age, but also because of the weight of her last name.

For many, it’s the beginning of a new artistic generation; for others, a sign of the privilege surrounding the most influential families in entertainment. Although she’s still taking her first steps, North had already shown interest in music during public appearances alongside her father.

But beyond the music, the release also sparked debate and criticism on social media, where many label her a “nepo baby,” questioning whether her exposure is due to her talent or her family’s influence.
