In a surprising twist, the 10-year-old North West showcases her outstanding rapping and singing skills in her father Kanye West’s latest music video for the song “Talking/Once Again,” featuring Ty Dolla $ign. The video starts with North passionately chanting the words, “You don’t want no problems, you just –,” followed by a melodic rendition of the word “Talking.” Wearing a braided hairstyle and sitting on a chair, she flawlessly lip-syncs and raps, declaring, “I love it here / we gonna take over the year for another year / it’s your bestie, Miss Miss Westie.” Her confidence and talent shine through as she continues, “Don’t try to test me / it’s gonna get messy / just bless me.” Throughout the video, she maintains the same enthusiasm, whispering into her father’s ear and even perching on his shoulders.
Midway through the track, Ty Dolla $ign, joined by his own daughter Jailynn Crystal, adds his soulful vocals and reflects on his daughter’s rapid growth. He sings about the challenges of being a father, admitting his fears about her choices. Meanwhile, Kanye, now known as Ye, maintains a mostly silent presence in the video, briefly capturing attention with a glimpse of his new $850K titanium teeth. “Talking/Once Again” is a preview of Ye and Ty Dolla $ign’s upcoming album, “Vultures,” scheduled to be released on February 9th.
The collaboration between the father-daughter duos left many fans in awe, describing North’s foray into rapping as a remarkable “full-circle” moment. In the comment section of the YouTube video, one fan expressed deep emotion, remarking, “There is something beautifully full circle of seeing Ye’s daughter create something like this. And to see Ty and his daughter… Am I the only one tearing up right now?” Another fan gushed over the powerful bond between Ye and his daughter, stating, “Watching Ye’s talents shine through North is such a precious, powerful gift.” The heartwarming connection between fathers and daughters through music did not go unnoticed, with a third fan adding, “There is something truly magical about the way these fathers are bonding with their daughters through music. It’s a reminder that love and support from family can make all the difference. I’m loving the positive vibes in this project!”
A Rising Star’s Debut
