Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign’s highly anticipated follow-up album, Vultures 2, dropped early Saturday morning, and it’s already making waves.

Fans were taken aback by a standout moment on the track Bomb, featuring an impressive rap performance by Kanye’s 11-year-old daughter, North West, who delivers her lines fluently in Japanese.

The inclusion of North’s rap has sparked a flurry of reactions across X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram.

While many praised the young star for her talent, calling her performance “the best track on Kanye West’s new album,” others raised concerns about the track’s title and its potential insensitivity given the Japanese language component.

The debate has quickly turned into a hot topic, with social media abuzz over this surprising and polarizing musical choice.

The young star’s talent has been met with enthusiastic praise, with fans declaring, “North West rapping on the track is lit” and calling the decision “smart.”

Critics argue that the combination of a track called with Japanese lyrics is insensitive.

One listener remarked, “Singing Japanese on a song called Bomb is straight up crazy,” while another suggested, “A song called Bomb is the last place you should be speaking Japanese in.”

On the flip side, some supporters have defended the track, pointing out that North is just a child and suggesting that the backlash is unwarranted.

One fan commented, “It’s just Chicago and North having fun.”

Additionally, some listeners have accused Kanye and North of copying Megan Thee Stallion’s style, referencing her use of Japanese in her track Mamushi.

A Twitter user weighed in, saying, “Now everyone wanna rap in Japanese after Megan did it?” followed by a skull emoji.
