Kanye West and Kim Kardashian's eldest daughter, North, is following in her father's footsteps with her very own album on the way.
RadarOnline.com has learned that North, 10, took the Footprint Center stage in Phoenix, Arizona, on Sunday night with her big announcement during his Vultures 2 listening party.
Although the audience erupted into cheers, fans on social media have since sparked a debate over the title selection for her upcoming release: Elementary School Dropout.
Many considered it a clear homage to Ye's own monumental debut with The College Dropout back in 2004; however, others have pointed out the title for North's album is eyebrow-raising after the rapper's remarks about his children's private school in Los Angeles.
North opened up about her love of singing in a cover story for i-D last October, explaining that "performing is my favorite" and that her passion for music comes "mostly from me...and then a little bit of my dad."
"Kim take my kids out of Sierra Canyon now," the Yeezy fashion designer wrote in a post just weeks ago, reiterating his past claims. "It's a fake school for celebrities that are used by 'the system.'"
"At this point everybody knows what 'the system' is code word for," Ye continued in his Instagram caption. "I was removed from my dad by the system and the system removed me from my children. When the system drafts athletes they avoid working with those who have their father in their life because they are harder to manipulate. My two oldest know they daddy is."
The famous exes were married from 2014 to 2022 and share four children: North, Saint, 8, Chicago, 6, and 4-year-old Psalm.
