Keep up with the music of the Northwest.
Kim Kardashian and Kanye West’s 12-year-old daughter made a surprise appearance at the Rolling Loud music festival in Orlando, Florida, on Saturday.
North took to the stage with rapper Molly Santana over the weekend to perform what appears to be an unreleased collaboration.
She wore a long blue wig, sunglasses, a leather top, and a matching skirt.
North, who will take the stage at Lyrical Lemonade’s Summer Smash in Chicago next month, makes his Rolling Loud debut just days after releasing his EP ‘N0rth4evr’.
In the music video for the title song, the preteen sports multiple fake stud earrings under her eyes, heavy makeup, and blackened teeth.
North’s unique fashion choices, such as wearing a diamond grill, have been widely criticized in recent years, but Kardashian came to her eldest son’s defense in October 2025.
Kardashian addressed the backlash to “Call Daddy,” telling listeners that she “has been doing the best she can” as a mother “raising four kids…on her own.”
The Skims creator, 45, added, “You know,[expressing herself]makes[North]so happy. I never want to take that creativity away from her.”
North similarly defended himself, clapping back at those who were “furious over finger piercings” in January.
North, who joined his father on stage at Kanye’s comeback concert in Los Angeles last month, particularly performed “Piercing My Hand.”
The father-daughter duo treated over 70,000 fans at SoFi Stadium to another collaboration, “Talking.”
Kardashian referred to Music North as her “father bond” on her “Khloé in Wonderland” podcast earlier this year.
“We have to communicate about how North is going to move through this world, so we have to put other things aside,” the businesswoman explained in January, adding that she “respects” her ex’s opinion about “what’s going on with his kids.”
Kardashian told Entertainment Tonight last year that being in the spotlight is in the tween’s blood, describing performing as “who[North]is and what she wants to do.”
The law student and Kanye were married from 2014 to 2022, and in addition to North, they co-parent son Saint, 10, daughter Chicago, 8, and son Psalm, 6.
