North West made her music festival debut over the weekend.
The 12 year old daughter of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West made a surprise appearance at Rolling Loud on Saturday during the festival’s second night in Orlando.
North joined rapper Molly Santana on stage at Camping World Stadium, where the pair performed what appeared to be an unreleased track together in front of a packed crowd. The performance took place during a busy night at the festival, which also included appearances from Playboi Carti, Rich The Kid, Destroy Lonely and several other artists.
Video clips from the performance quickly made rounds online. North wore a long bright blue wig with black sunglasses, a leather top and matching skirt while moving around the stage beside Santana as fans cheered from the crowd.
North’s appearance at Rolling Loud will not be her last festival stop this year. The tween is already scheduled to perform next month at Summer Smash in Chicago. The lineup also includes artists such as Lil Uzi Vert, Skrillex, Sexyy Red and Chief Keef.
North released her debut EP, N0rth4evr, earlier this month. The project dropped on May 1 and quickly received support from several members of the Kardashian-Jenner family online. Kris Jenner, Khloé Kardashian and Rob Kardashian all shared posts showing themselves listening to the project shortly after its release.
While many fans have praised North for her creativity, some social media users continue to criticize her style and self-expression. Last year, Kardashian addressed the backlash during an appearance on the Call Her Daddy podcast after some of North’s fashion and beauty choices sparked conversation online.
“She does listen to me, but in other areas, I’m like, ‘Babe, if you want blue hair, it is what it is.’ You know, it makes her so happy. I would never take that creativity away from her.” Kardashian said, adding, “I just think anyone that’s raising kids, especially four kids by myself, I’m doing the best that I can.”
