Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's daughter North West has released a new track with Lil Wayne's son, Lil Novi, in the US on Friday 5 June, triggering a fierce backlash online as fans of Kanye and Lil Wayne dismissed the collaboration as 'trash' and 'noise pollution.'
North, 12, has been edging into the spotlight for months, slowly building a music persona in the long shadow of her parents. Her debut solo track '#N0rth4evr,' dropped last month alongside a video that showed her with fake facial piercings, prompting an early wave of criticism and concern about how fast she was being pushed into the industry. This latest song has only intensified that debate, and thrown a harsher light on the role of 'nepo babies' in rap.
