On Monday night, Kim and Kanye's daughter, North, performed at Kanye's Paris Fashion Week show.
Oh my god North West performing at Yeezy is actually the best thing I’ve ever seen
North rapped over the beat of child rapper ZaZa's song "What I Do?" at the Yeezy collection show.
ZaZa's mom, who runs her Instagram account, posted this after North's performance:
In the caption, ZaZa's mom urged people to show respect and love to North, but also to give credit to ZaZa:
"In July of 2019, ZaZa and her dad went into the studio for the ultimate experience! To finally begin making the music she wanted to make. We take pride in creativity and believe whether a child’s involved or an adult... creativity deserves RESPECT/homage! What @kimkardashian (Kanye West) are doing with their daughter — with the inspiration of ZaZa and our family in mind is OK — we not mad BUT PLS SHOW LOVE AND SUPPORT TO THE ORIGINAL FIRST!!!! We admire Kanye West, and adore his journey. However, we don’t wanna feel like our daughter’s journey in the world of entertainment is being STIFLED. THANK YOU! 💕
Kim Kardashian saw the post and commented on it, apologizing for not giving credit.
Tinashe commented on ZaZa's post, saying, "North West wishes," which some people are interpreting as shade...
...including singer Justine Skye, who's friends with the Kardashians.
Of course, Twitter had a range of thoughts on the whole situation.
Kim Kardashian Vulture West is pretending like not giving credit to Zaza was an “innocent” mistake, but that’s hard to believe when her entire livelihood depends on paid promotion and credit. They’re teaching North early how to earn her keep.
@eiffeltyler @KimKardashian No ma’am. The fact that they took a beat/song from someone and didn’t credit them is wack. CREDIT ZaZa!
@neceybabyXO @charssanity @eiffeltyler @KimKardashian Imagine being this pressed over a 6 year old singing a song 🤡 I guess when ever a kid sings a song they HAVE to give the artist credit
And (duh) memes.
tinashe vs north west
Let's be clear... North West at her current age would sell more albums than Tinashe ever did or will.
Tinashe got more press from shading North West (a child) than for her album or tour!!! 😂🤣😂
