North West stepped into the spotlight in full goth mode Friday as the 12-year-old debuted her first music project, “N0rth4evr,” at a flashy Complex LA pop-up — with dad Kanye West making a surprise appearance to hype the launch.
North, the eldest daughter of Ye and Kim Kardashian, marked her six-track EP release at Complex’s Fairfax shop, where eager fans queued for rare vinyl, exclusive merch, immersive visuals, and an ice cream stand dedicated to the rising star.

Kanye rolled through in style, posing for photos, signing merch, and sending fans into a frenzy as he backed his oldest child’s big moment. North also greeted supporters and signed items herself, reported Complex.
Bianca Censori, Kanye’s wife and North’s stepmother, was also on hand for the pre-teen’s big day.
North — who shares famous siblings Saint, 10, Chicago, 8, and Psalm, 7 — has been forging her own musical path, especially after sharing the stage with her father at his SoFi Stadium shows in Los Angeles last month.
North is poised for an even bigger leap this June, when she’ll take the stage solo at Lyrical Lemonade Summer Smash in Illinois, Kanye’s home turf, likely performing tracks from her debut EP for a massive crowd.
The pop-up’s grand finale unfolds Saturday from noon to 8 p.m., with North’s exclusive merch still up for grabs in-store. Meanwhile, Kanye’s latest album, “Bully,” is available online in vinyl, CD, and cassette.
