Kanye West Performs With Daughter North West at ‘Vultures’ Listening Party in Paris: Watch
Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign wrapped up their European Vultures listening events over the weekend, and fans in Paris were treated to a special moment when North West hit the stage Sunday (Feb. 25).
Kanye — who now goes by Ye — brought his daughter North on stage to perform her Vultures 1 cut “Talking,” which made for a heartfelt moment with the 10-year-old connecting with the crowd singing alongside her proud father. (North, whose mom is Kim Kardashian, also appears in the music video for the track.)
“It’s your bestie, Miss Miss Westie/ Don’t try to test me/ It’s gonna get messy,” she repeats in her catchy verse.
North rocked an all-black outfit to match her dad, with a furry winter hat while holding her hands together and dancing around the smoke-filled stage.
“Talking” debuted at No. 30 on the Billboard Hot 100 and Kim Kardashian congratulated her daughter on the accomplishment, as she became one of the youngest acts ever to hit the chart. “My baby,” she wrote to her Instagram Story last week.
Vultures 1 debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 (dated Feb. 24) with 148,000 equivalent album units earned in the U.S. in its opening week (Feb. 9-15, following its Feb. 10 release), according to Luminate.
Vultures arrived independently under Ye’s YZY label and marks his first project since his string of controversies and antisemitic remarks, which resulted in brands such as Universal, Def Jam, Adidas and Gap distancing themselves from the polarizing rap artist.
Despite the backlash, the project is spending a second week atop the Billboard 200 after edging out Yeat’s 2093 in a tight race. It’s Ye’s first time going back-to-back weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with albums since his Watch the Throne collab project with Jay-Z.
After a pair of listening parties in Italy and a final one in Paris, there aren’t any more on the schedule for Ye and Ty Dolla.
