Debate Arises Over North West's Announcement of Debut Album "Elementary School Dropout" at Age 10
North West, the 10-year-old daughter of Kanye West, 46, and Kim Kardashian, 43, recently unveiled plans for her debut album, but the title has stirred controversy among fans.
Making the announcement at her father's Vultures 2 listening party on Sunday at the Footprint Center stage in Phoenix, Arizona, North proudly revealed the album's title: "Elementary School Dropout." The audience erupted into cheers as Kanye stood nearby, visibly proud of his daughter's achievement.
However, the album title raised eyebrows and sparked debate, especially given Kanye's recent social media outburst regarding their children's education. Kanye publicly urged Kim to withdraw their kids from Sierra Canyon School, citing concerns about its celebrity-driven culture and questioning the necessity of formal education.
Kim reportedly expressed frustration with Kanye's public statements, emphasizing the importance of consistency and quality education for their children. Furthermore, the album title's reference to Kanye's acclaimed debut album, "The College Dropout," didn't sit well with many.

Despite the backlash, some fans expressed excitement about the album's release, anticipating North's musical talent and potential accomplishments.

Kanye's own album, "The College Dropout," serves as inspiration for North's debut, which is set to follow in the footsteps of her father's successful music career. The Grammy-winning album sold millions worldwide and solidified Kanye's reputation as a groundbreaking artist.
North's album announcement wasn't the only highlight of the listening party, as her younger siblings, Chicago, six, and Psalm, four, also captured attention with their presence.
"Elementary School Dropout" marks North's musical debut, building on her previous collaboration with Kanye and Ty Dolla $ign on the track "Talking/Once Again." In the music video released on February 7, North showcased her confidence and talent, leaving fans eager to see what she'll accomplish next in the world of music.
