In that same interview with i-D, North had three succinct words to describe herself: “The Best Ever.” The Kanye comparisons seem pretty lucid here, but it’s his youngster’s aspirations that profoundly speak to his creativity more so than her confidence. When asked what she wanted to do when she was older, North had quite a bit to say: “A basketball player, a rapper, um… Well, when I was 7, I wanted to be a boxer. But now I don’t want to be a boxer. I’m going to do art on the side. When I’m, like, 13, I want to walk dogs, to make money to buy art supplies, because everything around here is so expensive. So a rapper, a basketball player, and I’m going to make artwork that I sell. Also, one day I want to own Yeezy and SKIMS, and I want to be a business owner.”
A pretty impressive list if you ask us, and an answer only someone who’s been blessed with Ye’s creative kick would say.
