North West, Kim Kardashian, and Kanye West’s 10-year-old daughter is not your ordinary 10-year-old.
Despite her life being surrounded by press, paparazzi, glamour, and glamour, the oldest Kardashian-West offspring has matured and is ready to pursue her ambitions. Fans have seen her talking on TikTоk Live with her mother and posing with her siblings on Instagram, but she’s never opened up in a solo interview – until now.
On 31 October, i-D Magazine published North’s first-ever magazine cover and feature story by herself. When asked for three words to describe herself, she simply said: “The best ever.”
The big sister spoke about her dreams to be a businesswoman one day, wanting to own both Kardashian’s Skims shapewear brand and Ye’s Yeezy brand.
North’s affection for her father hasn’t faltered despite his many controversies in the last year. Her current fave song is her father’s “Through the Wire” from his 2004 album, The College Dropout. North attributed her love of performing to the 46-year-old rapper, telling the reporter that her enthusiasm comes “mostly from me and a little bit from my dad.”
When asked about her favorite ensemble, the fashionista stated it includes “vintage T-shirts and Spider sweats.” Though North confessed that she would love to raid both of her parents’ wardrobes for whatever suited her, she insisted that her “style icon” is herself.
The young creative spoke highly of her siblings, adding that the best fashion shows she’s attended weren’t in Paris or New York, but her “little sister’s fashion show in her closet.”
North has accompanied her mother to numerous events in Los Angeles and abroad, but even running mundane errands draws the attention of paparazzi. When asked whether she likes to have her picture taken, she noted: “Yes. Only when I want to, because eh, I don’t want to sometimes. But not by the paparazzi.”
If she could meet anyone in her life, North said she’d want it to be the late rapper, Tupac Shakur. She also spoke of her aspirations to live in Japan, become a basketball player, and make music. When asked what she hopes to be when she’s older, North replied: “Well, when I was seven, I wаnted to be a boxer. But now I don’t want to be a boxer. I’m going to do art on the side. When I’m, like, thirteen, I want to walk dogs, to make money to buy art supplies, because everything around here is so expensive.”
“So a rapper, a basketball player, and I’m going to make artwork that I sell. Also, one day I want to own Yeezy and Skims, and I want to be a business owner.”
Much like her father, North is a lover of the arts. She explained how she’s constantly painting everything but helicopters because “they have all these little lines”. During the interview, she revealed she was working on a special project for her mother’s birthday.
North also recalled her favorite memory – the first time she ever played basketball. “When I first tried basketball, because I was so bad. So I know those memories and I’m like: ‘Ooh, now I’m so good’, I got so much better,” she proclaimed.
Finally, the young artist described her life to be “blessed, awesome, and cool.”
