Kanye West, now officially Ye, is back on Instagram and, this time, it’s not just about his signature avant-garde style or cryptic captions.
Instead, the spotlight is on his daughter, North West, who is quickly becoming a mini-Ye in both creativity and charisma.
Ye’s recent posts reveal a touching father-daughter bond that’s giving fans a glimpse of their dynamic, which is equal parts genius and love.
In one of his updates, Ye credited his and Kim Kardashian’s eldest daughter with reigniting his passion for music. “This little girl made me love music again,” he wrote.
North, 11, apparently asked her dad to make beats for her album, sparking his return to the ASR and hands-on beat-making. “I chopped every beat with my bare hands for Bully,” he added.
It’s clear that North is not just following in her father’s footsteps but carving her own path with Ye’s full support.
She’s working on her debut album, tentatively titled “Elementary School Dropout”, which is a playful nod to Ye’s iconic 2004 debut, “The College Dropout”. That release remains one for the books.
The posts also featured footage of North collaborating with Tony Williams, a long time Ye collaborator, with the title screen of “The Last of Us Part II” playing in the background.
It’s a Ye-style mash-up of high art, gaming, and music, and fans are here for it.
Ye’s been relatively quiet on the solo music front since 2021’s “Donda,” an album that gave us hits like “Praise God”, “Moon” and the Grammy-winning “Hurricane”.
While his latest collaboration, “Vultures 2”, with Ty Dolla $ign, debuted at number two on the Billboard 200 in 2024, fans have been eager for another solo project.
With “Bully” on the horizon, it seems like a positive return to his roots, promising a back-to-basics production approach, though the project has already hit some sampling snags.
North, meanwhile, is stepping confidently into the creative world, and it’s easy to see how her relationship with her dad plays a big role.
Their closeness, showcased through their shared passion for music, offers a softer side of Ye that fans don’t often get to see.
Beyond music, Ye and North are like mirror reflections when it comes to bold fashion and unshakable personalities.
Whether it’s North strutting in her edgy, custom-made fits or Ye redefining fashion, their style screams fearless self-expression.
North’s unapologetic confidence and individuality are straight out of her dad’s playbook, making them the ultimate duo in creativity and personality.
