Kim Kardashian shares a glimpse into her daughter Chicago’s musical prowess, highlighting the 8-year-old’s ability to play the piano—a skill seemingly passed down from her father, Kanye West.
Chicago Masters the Keys
The 45-year-old reality star posted a short clip on her Instagram Stories showing Chicago seated at a cream-colored piano in their family mansion. The young girl plays fluidly without sheet music, using both hands to maintain steady rhythm and coordination. Her curly dark hair ties back in a ponytail, and she wears a patterned pink dress. Nearby, her 6-year-old brother Psalm plays with a friend.
Following North’s Rap Release
This revelation comes shortly after Chicago’s 12-year-old sister North drops her debut rap single, Piercing On My Hand. North unveils the track on social media, featuring cover art that showcases her with bright blue hair and dermal piercings on her fingers.
North first displays the finger piercings in November, sparking fan backlash online over the ‘high-risk’ choice. She responds calmly with ‘It’s okay’ and a heart emoji. In a December TikTok video, North addresses critics directly, overlaying text that reads: ‘This is for everyone that’s mad over a finger piercing.’ The video includes a soundbite: ‘Why are you crying? How old are you? Just pull it together.’
Musical Family Legacy
Kim and Kanye West also share sons Saint, 10, and Psalm, 6. Chicago celebrates her birthday in January, marking her growth into this family talent.
Kim on North’s Education and Expression
During a January appearance on her sister Khloe Kardashian’s Khloe In Wonder Land podcast, Kim explains North’s homeschooling routine, which includes eight-hour music studio sessions for producing and writing. ‘I’ll add her writing out all of her lyrics as a part of her spelling tests,’ she notes. ‘We do all of the things at home that she really enjoys and are challenging.’
Kim defends her parenting amid scrutiny, stating, ‘I’m just not a judgmental person like that, so I try not to pay attention to it.’ She adds that outsiders cannot fully grasp their challenges: ‘No one knows, unless they’re in my shoes, what I’m dealing with and how we have to manage certain things from the outside world.’
Addressing perceptions of leniency, Kim clarifies, ‘No, Northie actually has a lot of rules. The one area [of freedom] is that I do let her express herself.’
