She seemed to reference the “What Are Those?!” meme.

Six-year-old North West stepped into the spotlight today to make her debut as a performing rap artist. The daughter of Kanye West and Kim Kardashian West performed an untitled track during Kanye’s Yeezy Season 8 show at Paris Fashion Week 2020 as models walked past wearing his new collection.

During the performance, North rapped over the beat to ZaZa’s “What I Do?” The lyrics are simple and innocent, as one would expect from a six year old, with lines repeated often. She raps about behaving well, attending school and admiring what is “cool” and “cute”:

I would never

Do bad things

I would never

Do bad things

She even manages (perhaps unintentionally) to incorporate a fashion-related joke by referencing the “What are those?!” meme. Although the meme peaked in popularity when North was just two years old, it’s endured since then. It seems there’s a connection between her father’s penchant for strange designs and footwear:

While North appeared shy in the beginning of her performance, her confidence grew to a crescendo as she closed the track with a very Kanye-esque scream into the mic. Kanye came out beaming, obviously proud of his daughter.

The parents of ZaZa later spoke out, expressing their frustration with what they viewed as improper credit to their daughter. The post prompted a response from Kim:
