The Japanese culture has taken over America and everyone is loving it. From their anime to their sushi and Hello Kitty, Japan lives in the heart of America now. The latest item to join the Japanese bandwagon is a single released by FKA Twigs featuring Kanye West's daughter, North West.
Everyone was already familiar with North West's fashion choices and her Instagram game, but she impressed everyone with her rapping skills when she debuted on her dad Ye's single "Talking/Once Again." Making everyone ask what were you doing when you were 11?
In a surprising twist, North West has taken both the East and the West by storm by featuring alongside FKA Twigs in the latter latest single, "Childlike Things." Looking at the confidence and rapping style of the 11-year-old, it's safe to say there is nothing "childlike" about the song.
But an 11-year-old rapping confidently like Tupac's reincarnation is not the highlight of the song, the real kicker is that she raps in Japanese. Her Japanese is so fluent that it will remind you of your favorite anime character going off on a villain.

Kim Kardashian Jr. is growing up to be a talented young girl. Whether she chooses the fashion industry like her mother or the music industry like her father, whatever path she takes, it will be fun to watch for all of her fans.
