Earlier this year, North announced her first album, Elementary School Dropout, paying homage to her father's debut album, The College Dropout. Her involvement in the song Talking/Once Again from Vultures 1, a collaborative album by Ye and Ty Dolla $ign, catapulted her into the spotlight, making her one of the youngest artists ever to chart on the Billboard Hot 100.
As per People magazine, Kim does much more than attend these events. In an interview, Kim shared, "I'm not that active on TikTok, except for these ridiculous dances that my daughter makes me do...I would always think as a parent first, no matter what. So, I don't use TikTok too much as a tool, but I love how creative our kids are when they're engaging in doing some of the fun dances and these movies, and then they've taken it to a different level where...I've gotten like full camera equipment and they've made these short films."

Gushing about her children, Kim exclaimed, "And so, it's gotten them into this cinematic creative space that I think is so fun to see as a mom. You know, they do plays in the house, and they dress up, and now they do some TikTok dances. But then they'll fully put their devices down, be fully engaged in a full production that they're doing at home that's so fun to watch, and we'll do the whole play for the whole family, and you know, really age-appropriate stuff."
