Ye, the artist formerly known as Kanye West, is finding new creative inspiration these days, thanks to his 11-year-old daughter, North West. The rapper, producer, and fashion mogul took to Instagram early Tuesday (Jan. 21) to share how North has sparked his renewed love for music.
In a series of Instagram posts, Ye revealed that he’s been hard at work in the studio, crafting beats for both North’s debut project and his upcoming Bully album. One standout post featured a black-and-white photo of North, with a heartfelt caption: “This little girl made me love music again. She asked me to make beats for her. I got back on the ASR, chopped up beats for her album, and chopped every beat with my bare hand for BULLY.”
A Family Affair
Ye’s creative process has been a collaborative family effort. Clips from the studio showed North actively participating in the sessions, alongside Ye’s cousin and frequent collaborator, The Wrldfms Tony Williams. Ye also received praise from his longtime collaborator Malik Yusef, who commented on the post, “I’ve been a witness. Seen it with my own two eyes. It’s really good to see the young God YE doing pure magic!!!!”
Even industry heavyweights like Swizz Beatz chimed in with support, adding to the flood of love in Ye’s comments section.
North’s Growing Influence
This isn’t North’s first foray into the spotlight. Last year, she contributed to Ye’s Vultures series, assisting on tracks like “Talking” and “Bomb” from V2. It’s clear that the eldest daughter of Ye and Kim Kardashian is carving her own creative path while continuing to inspire her father.
What’s Next for Ye?
On his own musical journey, Ye is preparing for the release of his highly anticipated Bully album. Earlier this month, he teased the project alongside his reunion with legendary producer Mike Dean, hinting at a return to the innovative sounds that defined his career.
Before wrapping up his Instagram spree, Ye took a moment to pay homage to one of his idols, No Limit Records CEO Master P. “MY HERO,” he captioned the post, adding his signature humor: “Ok, that’s my last post for 12 hours. But when I come back, it may be 20 posts, so don’t trip.”
The Legacy of Ye and North
Ye’s artistic resurgence, fueled by his bond with North, reflects a new chapter for the music icon. From crafting beats for his daughter to pushing boundaries with his own work, it’s clear that Ye’s creative fire is far from burning out.
