North West Debuts Unreleased Track Onstage With Kanye in Mexico City

Online reaction ranged from praise for confidence to nepotism accusations.

Overview

  • Ye brought his 12-year-old daughter onstage on January 30 at Monumental Plaza de Toros La México, his first Mexico performance since 2008, with reports citing about 40,000 attendees.
  • The pair performed his 2014 song “Only One,” and North unveiled “Piercing On My Hand,” a new track referencing her dermal hand piercing that she helped write.
  • Clips of the appearance circulated widely on social media, and North posted images from the night to her Instagram Stories.
  • Commentary online included both admiration for her stage presence and criticism labeling her a “nepo baby,” along with doubts about her vocals.
