PHOENIX, ARIZONA: Kim Kardashian and Kanye "Ye" West's eldest daughter North West is following in her father's footsteps by pursuing a career in music at the tender age of 10, as per Billboard.

However, her recently announced plans to release a debut album titled 'Elementary School Dropout' have sparked backlash and criticism from many corners of the Internet, reigniting debates around nepotism and exploiting children's fame.

During Kanye's recent 'Vultures' listening party in Phoenix, North joined her father on stage sporting 'Vultures' merchandise and performing her bit from the album's track 'Talking'.

"And I've been working on an album," shared the pre-teen with the crowd, drawing loud cheers. "And it's called Elementary School Dropout," added North. 

'Elementary School Dropout', which seems to be an apparent nod to her father's seminal 2004 album 'College Dropout', is likely to feature heavy involvement from Kanye.

North made her musical debut through a feature on her father's recent 'Vultures' album, with her vocals appearing on the track 'Talking'. The song debuted at No 30 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, making North one of the youngest artists to ever appear on the prestigious ranking.

Her proud mother, Kim, celebrated the accomplishment by sharing the chart position on Instagram, gushing, "My baby!!!!" North's musical endeavors extend beyond her own album, as she has been accompanying her father and his collaborator Ty Dolla Sign on their ongoing 'Vultures' listening party tour.

Internet reacts as North West announces her debut album

In the wake of North's surprising announcement about her debut album, 'Elementary School Dropout,' the internet erupted with a mix of skepticism and criticism.

One bluntly said, "Stay in school," and another noted, "She should finish her school first or else she'll end up worse than her parents." 

A person remarked, "She needs to do her homework instead," while someone else expressed, "It will tank just like her father's album." 

"Ain't nobody streaming this nepo baby," declared an individual. One more shared, "I’m not looking forward to it."
