North’s feature on FKA Twig’s latest LP is not the first time the budding music artist has appeared on an album. 

Last year in August, she shocked listeners when she also rapped fluently in Japanese on the track, Bomb, for her father’s Vultures 2 album. 

While landing the cover of Interview Magazine last year, North opened up about visiting Japan in the past. 

In regards to what she ‘loves’ about the country, North explained, ‘Everything. Everybody’s style is on point. Or New York, because the streetwear there is – yes. And New York is really fun.’

A few months earlier, North expressed her desires to release her debut studio album which would be inspired by Kanye’s 2004 LP, The College Dropout. 

She made the big announcement at a Vultures 2 listening party in Arizona with her father Kanye – who also goes by Ye – standing nearby on stage.

‘Hi, it’s Northie, and I’ve been working on an album. And it’s called Elementary School Drop Out,’ she expressed, which resulted in the crowd to erupt into cheers and applause. 

Also last year in May, North made her acting debut as Young Simba during The Lion King’s 30th Anniversary concert. 

She took to the stage at The Hollywood Bowl to perform I Just Can’t Wait To Be King while wearing a lion costume. 

After belting out lyrics at the crowded venue, North received a standing ovation from the audience. 

However, the pre-teen also faced harsh criticism when online as trolls lashed out at her nepo-baby advantage. 

Most recently, Kanye took to social media to share a sweet clip of himself ‘training’ his eldest daughter in the recording studio. 

In the black and white reel, he showed North sitting on a chair next to recording equipment to help him with his 11th studio album BULLY. 

The Heartless rapper uploaded a separate post and penned, ‘This little girl made me love music again.’ 

‘She asked me to make beats for her I got back on the ASR Chopped up beats for her album and chopped every beats with my bare hand for BULLY.’

'Hi, it's Northie, and I've been working on an album. And it's called Elementary School Drop Out,' she expressed, which resulted in the crowd to erupt into cheers and applause

While also talking to Interview Magazine – where she was joined by mother Kim – North revealed that she has other endeavors she wants to purse aside from music. 

At one point, she expressed, ‘I am starting my own clothing line,’ and revealed that it will be named after herself.

The the topic of conversation later shifted to the future, with Kim asking, ‘What do you want to be when you grow up?’

North replied, ‘I don’t know, because I already do a lot of stuff that I want to be when I grow up. I just want to pursue my careers now.’

FKA Twigs’ third studio album is now available to listeners and contains a total of 11 tracks. 

'EuSєxua is really this mixture of this slightly psychedelic, childlike, playful exploration of what it is to be human,' the singer said; seen in August 2024 in NYC

The LP was released under Young and Atlantic Records, with the lead single EuSєxua, being dropped a few months earlier in September 2024. 

During an interview for Spotify’s “Countdown To” podcast series, the British star opened up about her new music and album. 

‘EuSєxua is really this mixture of this slightly psychedelic, childlike, playful exploration of what it is to be human.’ 

‘But then, mixed with that, this raw, dirty, hard, Sєxual grit as an undertone. Which is what it’s like to be human,’ she expressed.
