North West, the eldest child of Kanye West, delighted a crowded house with a single song during a concert in Los Angeles, suggesting that she is growing more at ease with her celebrity.
The 10-year-old performed on Friday, May 24, at the Hollywood Bowl during the first of two shows honoring the film’s 30-year anniversary.
Her father, mother Kim Kardashian, Kourtney Kardashian, Travis Barker, and Kris Jenner were among the audience members who gave her a standing ovation after her emotional rendition of “I Just Can’t Wait to Be King.”
The performances honor the original 1994 picture and include Jeremy Irons, Jason Weaver, Jennifer Hudson, and many more. The two shows that make up the live-to-film event will be captured on camera, and then it will be made available for streaming on Disney+.
Beyoncé’s comeback to the Lion King franchise for a prequel to the 2019 remake was revealed last month, and she is taking her oldest kid with her.
According to Variety, 12-year-old Blue Ivy has been called up to appear in Mufasa: The Lion King as Kiara, the daughter of Simba and Nala. Along with Donald Glover, Seth Rogan, Billy Eichner, and other actors returning to their roles, Bey will play Nala once more.
The new movie, which will have Lin-Manuel Miranda on the soundtrack, will focus on Mufasa’s early years and his genesis story. It opens in theaters on December 20.
In the meantime, North’s appearance on her father’s joint album with Ty Dolla $ign has already helped her make a name for herself in the music business.
Due to her feature on “Talking,” the young musician became one of the youngest performers to ever land a spot on Billboard’s Hot 100 list, according to a report published in late February.
Her parents celebrated the achievement on their Instagram Stories shortly after it was made public. Kim Kardashian wrote, “My baby!!!!” on a screenshot of the news that Ye and she both shared.
She raps, “I love it here/ We’re gonna take over another year/ It’s your bestie Miss, Miss Westie,” in the song in question. It’s your best friend, Miss Westie; don’t attempt to test me; it’s going to become messy. Just, just, bless me.
Ye and Ty’s album landed at the top of the Billboard 200 chart just over a week after it was released.
The article states that in the first week of the collaboration, 148,000 album-equivalent units were produced. Of those, 129,000 came from streaming units (a total of 167.78 million on-demand streams), 18,000 from pure album sales, and 1,000 from track equivalent album units.
