Keeping up with North West’s music.
Kim Kardashian and Kanye West’s 12-year-old daughter made a surprise appearance at Rolling Loud music festival in Orlando, Florida, on Saturday.
North joined rapper Molly Santana onstage over the weekend to perform what appeared to be an unreleased collaboration.
She sported a long blue wig, sunglasses, a leather top and matching skirt.
North, who will take the stage at Lyrical Lemonade’s Summer Smash in Chicago next month, made her Rolling Loud debut days after releasing her EP, “N0rth4evr.”
In a music video for the titular track, the preteen sported multiple faux stud piercings under her eyes, heavy makeup and blackened teeth.
North’s unique fashion choices, including wearing diamond grills, have been widely criticized in recent years — but Kardashian came to her eldest child’s defense in October 2025.
Kardashian addressed backlash on “Call Her Daddy,” telling listeners she has been “doing the best that [she] can” as a mom “raising … four kids by [her]self.”
The Skims creator, 45, added, “You know, [expressing herself] makes [North] so happy. I would never take that creativity away from her.”
North has defended herself as well, clapping back at those “mad over a finger piercing” in January.
While joining her dad onstage at Kanye’s comeback concert in Los Angeles last month, North, notably, performed “Piercing My Hand.”
The father-daughter duo treated more than 70,000 fans at SoFi Stadium to their other collab, “Talking.”
Kardashian called music North’s “bonding thing with her dad” in a “Khloé in Wonderland” podcast episode earlier this year.
“We have to communicate about how North moves through that world and you just kind of have to put the other stuff aside,” the businesswoman explained in January, adding that she “respect[s]” her ex’s opinion on “the things that go on with his kids.”
Kardashian also told Entertainment Tonight last year that it’s simply in the tween’s blood to be in the spotlight, calling performing “who [North] is and what she loves to do.”
The law student and Kanye were married from 2014 to 2022 and, in addition to North, co-parent son Saint, 10, daughter Chicago, 8, and son Psalm, 6.
