As mentioned, Ye took to Instagram with behind-the-scenes footage of North West in the studio. As of Tuesday morning, the rapper had only six posts on his feed. The second post is a video showing North playing back a clip. In the caption, he wrote, “Training.” Meanwhile, Ye’s third post shows his daughter and someone else walking through a minimally furnished warehouse-looking space. That caption read, “TRAINING 2.0.”

Meanwhile, the fifth post was flooded with reactions — we’re talking more than 10,000 comments and over 1.3 million likes. It was a black-and-white photo of North West sitting in a chair. The caption was giving proud daddy.

“This little girl made me love music again. Ÿ She asked me to make beats for her I got back on the ASR Chopped up beats for her album and chopped every beats with my bare hand for BULLY.”

Pro-athlete Victor Cruz dropped brown hearts in the post’s comment section, while Swizz Beatz and Marlo Hampton shared a bunch of red hearts. ‘Bad Girls’ superstar Tanisha Thomas wrote “Daddy’s Girl.”Kanye West fans got a bit more expressive with their excitement for North, though!

@torres.zxs wrote, “Imagine asking your dad to make some beats to you, and your dad is Ye, goddamn.”

“‘My dad made all the beats’ is the heaviest flex in this case,” @nessie_blaze said.

“She really is your biggest fan, bro,” @emery.k.h wrote.

“Her father is a genius; she can’t do wrong,” @gigipagava said.

One fan, @happyhatta, speculated what kind of music ‘Elementary School Dropout’ would include, writing, “Wait.. chopped beats? You mean no more opium music? WE MIGHT BE BACK.”

Since March 2024, North West has shared little about ‘Elementary School Dropout.’ However, in November, she gave us a taste of her music. Ye released the visuals for the song ‘BOMB,’ which is featured on his ‘Vultures 2’ album. She raps mostly in Japanese on the trackand her younger sister, Chicago, even made a surprise appearance!

North West has been building up to a musical path for the last few years, including her feature with Ty Dolla $ign on Ye’s song ‘Bless Me.’
