\n\tFrom her \u201cthese are clothes\u201d<\/a> freestyle to her Molly Santana-inspired outfits, North West<\/a> has steadily emerged as one of Gen Alpha\u2019s leading voices across music, fashion and culture. In the wee hours of Friday morning (Jan. 16), the 12-year-old daughter of Ye<\/a> (formerly Kanye West) and Kim Kardashian<\/a> previewed an eyebrow-raising collaboration with her 24-time Grammy-winning dad.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cPiercing on my hand, the other holding bands,\u201d North spits in the snippet, which she posted to her Instagram Stories<\/a> with the text \u201cPiercing on my hand @ye version\u201d written on the post. \u201cNo friends, just filter, you wouldn\u2019t understand.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWent to school for two days, then I got banned\/ Skipping school, yeah, I do it on the daily,\u201d she continues across a beat heavily influenced by the rage rap that frequently soundtracks her social media posts. \u201cGot some new rings, yeah, they\u2019re so crazy.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cAll my friends are hits, you know I\u2019m not lazy\/ You\u2019re so angry that I\u2019m so mainstream,\u201d she sneers near the end of the snippet. \u201cI\u2019m not sure I\u2019m crazy\/ I want more piercings and tats\/ I love blue hair, put it in some plaits\/ Put the music to the max\/ I want like a hundred thousand racks.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThroughout the teaser, North proves she can shift between flows and ride a particularly frenetic beat, showing that she truly is Ye\u2019s daughter. The eldest West child \u2014 she\u2019s big sister to Saint, Chicago and Psalm \u2014 kicked off 2026 with some interesting finger piercings, just days after debuting a temporary bridge piercing, black grills and a diamond skull pendant in a series of TikTok posts<\/a>. Coupled with her bright blue plaits, the pre-teen has been thrust into a sprawling online debate regarding the ethics of age and piercings.<\/p>\n

\n\tHer latest musical offerings follow a busy 2025, which included several notable collaborations. Last January, she joined FKA twigs<\/a> for the Eusexua standout \u201cChildlike Things,\u201d on which she performed in Japanese. A few months later, North contributed to \u201cLonely Roads,\u201d a Ye-produced track from King Combs\u2019 Never Stop EP<\/a> that also featured rising artist Jaas. Just last week, North shared that she produced \u201cJustswagup,\u201d a new collaboration between rappers Mag!c and Lil Novi, the latter of whom happens to be Lil Wayne\u2019s son.<\/p>\n

\n\tThough still a tween, she\u2019s already a Billboard Hot 100<\/a>-charting artist: She guested on Ye and Ty Dolla $ign\u2019s \u201cTalking,\u201d which hit No. 30 in 2024.<\/p>\n
