Kim Kardashian’s rapping 13-year-old may still do Bay Area show after tour canceled

North West, the brazen, blue-haired and multi-pierced 13-year-old daughter of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West — who apparently aspires to become a rap provocateur like her father — abruptly pulled out of two of her upcoming “Kimokawaii Tour” performances, but she’s still scheduled to perform in San Francisco next month, TMZ and People are reporting.

The outlets said that North West was set to embark on her first headlining tour since releasing her debut EP, “N0rth4evr,” People reported. But days before the reality TV show scion was set to hit a Dallas stage with rapper Molly Santana on Aug. 5, organizers revealed that the show had been canceled.

TMZ and People found that tour dates for both the Dallas show and a Aug. 17 concert in Toronto were marked as “canceled” on Ticketmaster, and the tour’s official website appears to have been taken down. No explanation for the cancelations have been given.

But there might be good news for any Bay Area fans of North. Her Aug. 25 show with Santana at San Francisco’s The Midway was still listed on the venue’s website, as of Friday morning. Tickets were being sold for $39 to $92, with the option to do a meet-and-greet with the two artists for $216.

North released her debut EP in May, around the same time that she and Santana appeared onstage together for North’s festival debut at Rolling Loud in Miami, People reported. North also has become an occasional guest at her father’s concerts and has collaborated with him on her songs, People reported.

Last year, the acclaimed but controversial rapper, who also is known as Ye, welcomed his then-12-year-old daughter on stage at his concert at SoFi Stadium near Los Angeles. The pre-teen wore what’s become her signature look: blue hair in braids, multiple piercings, baggy, oversized clothes and a defiant attitude.

In one of the songs from her album, North pushed back over backlash against her blue hair and piercings, which include piercings on her knuckles and wrists.

In the track, “Piercing on My Hand (Ye Version),” a collaboration with her father, she raps: “I’m not sure I’m crazy/I want more piercings and tats/I love blue hair put it in some plaits/Put the music to the max/I want like a hundred thousand racks.”

In other parts of the song, she laughs off skipping school, as she continues: “All my songs are hits, you know I’m not lazy.”

North’s sartorial choices, as well as her “Nepo Baby” status and push to get into performing at such a young age, also have raised questions and concerns about Kardashian and West’s parenting choices for her, E! News reported. The former couple finalized their divorce in 2022 and share three other children together.

But Kardashian has dismissed such criticism about her oldest child, saying in an interview last year on the Call Her Daddy podcast, “I’m like, ‘Babe, if you want blue hair, it is what it is.’” The Skims shapewear mogul also told host Alex Cooper, “It makes her so happy. I would never take that creative away from her.”
