Kanye West Sparks Controversy with Daughter North West’s Japanese Rap on New Album Track “Bomb”, Fans Clash Over Cultural Sensitivity and Nepotism as Family Feud Erupts on Social Media

Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign released their Vultures follow-up album, Vultures 2, on Saturday morning. 

And fans were stunned to hear Kanye’s oldest daughter, North West, 11, showed off her impressive rap skills, performing in fluent Japanese throughout the track Bomb.

Active followers were left divided by North’s appearance on the track, some saying that it’s a great idea and other saying it is insensitive to have a track called Bomb linked to the Japanese language. 

X, formally known as Twitter, and Instagram have been flooded with responses to the tracks. 

Posts included: ‘North West stole the show on the album rapping in Japanese! It’s the best track on Kanye West’s new album!’

‘North West rapping on the track is (fire emoji);’

‘North West raps in Japanese on “bomb” from Kanye’s Vultures 2. That was smart.’

A number of fans accused the song of being racist because of the Japanese language being looped into a song titled Bomb.

One wrote ‘Singing Japanese on a song called bomb is straight up crazy’.

Another said ‘A song called bomb is the last song you should be speaking Japanese in’. 

Another fan clapped back at accusations to point out that North is just a child, one wrote: ‘it’s just Chicago and North having fun’.

Some listeners also accused Kanye and North of copying Megan Thee Stallion after she speaks Japanese in her Mamushi song.

A fan on twitter said ‘now everyone wanna rap in Japanese after Megan did it?’ along with a skull enoji. 

North, daughter of Kanye and Kim Kardashian, 43, has been breaking into the entertainment industry within her own right, with her debut acting performance earlier this year. 

North performed as Young Simba during The Lion King’s 30th Anniversary concert  – but online trolls lashed out at the ten-year-old’s nepo-baby advantage. 

North took to the stage at The Hollywood Bowl to perform I Just Can’t Wait To Be King. 

After belting out lyrics at the crowded venue, North received a standing ovation from the audience. 

However, some social media users on X (formerly known as Twitter) shared their thoughts on Kim and Kanye’s daughter snagging a coveted role in the musical concert. 

One noted: ‘Nepotism is literally the best thing to be born with,’ while another added, ‘The worst case of nepo I have witnessed.’

It was also announced that North was cast in the live-to-film concert event which ran for two nights on May 24 and May 25.

Following the surprise release, multiple fans took to X to call the unexpected timing ‘random.’

One person wrote, ‘Kanye West Mad Random But I Respect It,’ while others used memes to compare to the Chicago-bred music artist.

Another fan used a LeBron James slam dunk highlight reel, adding: ‘kanye west when it comes to dropping albums at random times.’

The rap duo — Kanye, 47, and Ty, 42 — debuted their initial joint project on February 10.

There was also a fan who shared an old video clip of West in a blue hat and gray sweatshirt, saying, ‘Gotcha!’ twice in a row.

To accompany the snippet, the person wrote: ‘Kanye West surprising everyone by dropping Vultures 2 without warning.’ 

Ty, born Tyrone William Griffin Jr, teased the album earlier in the day in his Instagram Stories.

Building anticipation among his 7.7 million followers, he wrote, ‘V2 loading,’ in white typewriter font set against a black background.

A few hours later he revealed, ‘V2 LIVE,’ adding a link to the music via Yeezy.com.

Hours before the full-length album came out, the two music artists released the single Slide.

Slide had been in development for some time — a version was first played at a listening party in Geneva last September, according to Variety.

Then, the live audience at Vultures Rave in Miami was treated to a full version of the tune in December 2023, months before Friday night’s release date.

Hours before Slide was dropped, an announcement appeared on Yeezy.com that the full Vultures 2 album would be unveiled on Saturday — but the statement was later deleted.

Earlier this week, West, his wife Bianca Censori, and Ty Dolla $ign attended a birthday dinner for Kanye’s manager John Monopoly.

John, who is also from Chicago, wrote on social media that the celebration ‘was a vibe.’

Additionally, he shared that the father-of-four gifted him ‘ANOTHER’ Tesla Cyber Truck.

‘I couldn’t make this sh*t up if I tried!’ he emphasized to his 40,000 followers on Instagram.

Vultures 2 comes just weeks after screengrabs emerged that allegedly showed West expressing a desire to retire from ‘professional music.’

News of the hitmaker’s shock plans were revealed in an alleged text message exchange with rapper Rich The Kid.

Rich The Kid, 31, shared a screenshot to his Instagram Story of messages he’d received from an iPhone contact under the name ‘Ye.’

The text from a person believed to be West — who legally changed his name from Kanye West to Ye in 2021 — read: ‘I’m retiring from professional music. Not sure what else to do.’
