The latest moves by Kanye West, who officially changed his name to Ye, and Kim Kardashian’s daughter North West suggest she is more drawn to her father’s controversial style than her mother’s influence.
From eyebrow-raising fashion choices to a public reunion with Kanye’s wife Bianca Censori, fans are wondering if the Kardashian star is slowly losing her firstborn to her ex-husband?
Such speculation gained momentum after the 12-year-old released a snippet of her new collaboration song with her father, titled Piercing on My Hand (Ye Version).
In the early hours of Friday, January 16, she shared a video on her Instagram Stories, in which she sang: “Piercing on my hand, others holding tapes. No friends, filter, you won’t understand.”
“I went to school for two days, then I got banned/Skip school, yeah, I do it every day,” she continues over a beat heavily influenced by the angry rap that frequently characterizes her social media posts.
Users on X (formerly Twitter) picked up on the lyrics and began tagging Kim with apologetic messages.
While some mocked her parenting with sarcasm, others sincerely sympathized with the mother, who is trying to stop her child from following in his father’s controversial footsteps.
“I got new rings, yeah, they’re so crazy,” North continues to rap. “All my friends are hits, you know I’m not lazy/You’re so mad that I’m so mainstream.”
she sneers toward the end of the clip, adding, “I’m not sure I’m crazy/I want more piercings and tattoos/I love blue hair, put it in braids/Turn the music up high/I want a hundred thousand racks.” »
The pre-teen captioned the post, writing: “Piercing on my hand @ye version.”
Although North’s fans seem to love her musical influence and the teaser, the collaboration with her 24-time Grammy-winning father is just another reason that proves she’s more like her father than her famous mother.
The preview follows a series of bold fashion statements from North in early 2026, including a temporary bridge piercing, black dental grills and a diamond skull pendant, accessories more closely associated with her father’s unconventional style than her mother’s refined aesthetic.
While her fashion choices have made waves, she has drawn more attention for her growing comfort with sharing personal moments online.
On December 26, 2025, North posted a screenshot of a FaceTime call with Bianca Censori, his stepmother and singer BabyXsosa.
The viral image, originally shared by BabyXsosa, marked one of the first times North publicly featured her mother-in-law on her own social media, signaling her increasingly visible connection to Kanye’s inner circle.
Together, the music, fashion, and social media activity suggest that North is exploring her identity in a way that seems more in tune with her father’s influence, sparking thoughts as if she is distancing herself from her mother.
