North West, the eldest child of Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, and Kim Kardashian, is venturing into the music industry with her debut album.
The 10-year-old confirmed the exciting news during a recent interview at the Rolling Loud California festival in Los Angeles, where her father was one of the headlining acts.
During a chat with teenage reporter Jazzy’s World TV at the event, North shared a few insights about her upcoming project while keeping the details under wraps.
When Jazzy asked what fans can anticipate from her album in a video shared on Instagram, North remained secretive, simply stating, "It's gonna be great."
Jazzy then asked about the potential release date, but West admitted she wasn't certain when the album would be available.
"For your final question, are there going to be any collaborations with your dad on there?" Jazzy inquired.
With a sweet smile, West replied, "Maybe! We don't know yet!"
In her Instagram caption, Jazzy expressed gratitude to West's mom for arranging the rare interview. "Thank you, Ms. @kimkardashian, for helping out," she wrote, among other things.
West initially unveiled her surprise album during a special listening party for Ye's upcoming release, "Vultures 2," a sequel to "Vultures 1," a joint project with Ty Dolla Sign.
