Kanye West, who officially changed his name to Ye, and Kim Kardashian’s daughter North West’s latest moves suggest she is gravitating more toward her father’s controversial style than her mother’s influence.
From surprising fashion choices to a public reunion with Kanye’s wife Bianca Censori, fans are wondering if the Kardashian star is slowly losing her firstborn to her ex-husband.
Such speculation gained traction after the 12-year-old posted a snippet of her new collaboration song with her father, titled Piercing on My Hand (Ye Version).
In the early morning hours of Friday, January 16, she shared a video to her Instagram Stories, featuring herself singing: “Piercing in my hand, the others holding bands. No friends, just filter, you wouldn’t understand.”
“I went to school for two days, then they banned me / Skipping school, yeah, I do it every day,” he continues over a beat heavily influenced by the furious rap that frequently accompanies his social media posts.
Users of X (formerly Twitter) picked up on the lyrics and began tagging Kim with messages of apology.
While some sarcastically mocked her parenting, others genuinely sympathized with the mother, who is trying to protect her son from following in his father’s controversial footsteps.
“I got some new rings, yeah they so crazy,” North continues rapping. “All my friends are hits, you know I’m not lazy/You’re so mad ’cause I’m so conventional.”
she teases near the end of the clip, adding, “I’m not sure I’m crazy/I want more piercings and tattoos/I love blue hair, put it in some braids/Turn the music up all the way/I want like a hundred thousand racks.”
The preteen captioned the post, writing, “Piercing in my hand @ye version.”
Although North’s fans seemed to love her musical influence and the teaser, collaborating with her 24-time Grammy Award-winning father is just another reason that showed that she is more like her father than her famous mother.
This trailer follows a series of bold fashion statements from North in early 2026, including a temporary bridge piercing, black dental grills, and a diamond skull pendant—accessories more closely associated with her father’s unconventional style than her mother’s polished aesthetic.
While her fashion choices made waves, more attention was drawn to her growing comfort with sharing personal moments online.
On December 26, 2025, North posted a screenshot of a FaceTime call with Bianca Censori, her stepmother and BabyXsosa singer.
The viral image, originally shared by BabyXsosa, marked one of the first times North publicly featured her stepmother on her own social media, signaling her increasingly visible bond with Kanye’s inner circle.
Together, the music, fashion, and social media activity suggest that North is exploring her identity in ways that feel more aligned with her father’s influence, prompting thoughts like she may be distancing herself from her mother.
