Initially, Northie wanted to be a basketball player, however, now she has her mind set on a more artistic and entrepreneurial future. “A basketball player, a rapper, um… Well, when I was seven, I wanted to be a boxer. But now I don’t want to be a boxer,” she explained. “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.”

Ahead of her adult career, however, the pre-teen noted that soon she plans to have a dog walking business to earn money for her art. “I’m going to do art on the side. When I’m, like, thirteen, I want to walk dogs, to make money to buy art supplies, because everything around here is so expensive,” the SKIMS co-founder’s daughter said. Aside from her career plans, North also dished on her artwork as a hobby and revealed that she surprised Kim with a painting for her birthday.

When asked if she’s made new artwork, Ye’s daughter confirmed yes. “Yeah, literally today in art class. But it’s a secret for my mom’s birthday,” North shared. “Last week I finished a landscape and a sunset and I made a little circle thing.” Later, when asked if she likes having her photo taken, she explained there are excerptions for when she doesn’t. “Yes. Only when I want to, because ehhh, I don’t want to sometimes,” she quipped. “But not by the paparazzi.”
