North West announces debut album 'Elementary School Dropout' at Vultures party; sparks debate

North West, Kim Kardashian's oldest daughter, joined her father Kanye West on stage at a Vultures listening party. The 10-year-old announced her debut album, titled ‘Elementary School Dropout,’ a reference to her father's album ‘The College Dropout.’ The album, released in 2004, catapulted Ye into hip-hop stardom from a sought-after producer.

Amid her time on stage, West revealed, ‘I've been working on an album...’ prompting an immediate burst of cheers and applause from the crowd.

North, aged 10, has kept details about Elementary School Dropout under wraps. It's uncertain if the album will ever be released, given her young age. However, her early involvement in such a project is impressive, likely with parental guidance.

West’s announcement has sparked discussions on social media about her age and involvement in an album. Some even raised concerns about the album's title.

One fan wrote on X, formerly Twitter, ‘I’m praying she didn’t actually drop out of elementary school.’ Another said, ‘You can do anything as long as you’re rich and famous.’

Another user slammed North for nepotism, saying, ‘We don’t really care but it won’t flop because of nepotism.’ One more said, ‘Everyone wants to become an artist even the talentless ones.’ Yet another wrote, ‘Does Kim know about this?’

Amid the negative feedback, numerous individuals rallied behind North, offering congratulations on her endeavour.

One supporter hailed her as the saviour of pop music, while another dubbed her album the most anticipated of the year. Another user cheered her on for potentially becoming the youngest Grammy winner, expressing excitement to listen.

West's eldest child, from his previous marriage to Kardashian, made a recent appearance on her father's latest album, Vultures 1. She's credited as a featured artist on the track ‘Talking,’ marking a significant inclusion.
