North West and FKA Twigs just collaborated on 'Childlike Things,' and netizens are launching a wave of hilarious reactions across social media platforms. This was not in our bingo cards, but here we are.

Some fans are clutching their pearls and worrying about what exactly the future of music will look like in 2025. Others are launching digs and sharp sarcasm, teasing the nepotism angle.

If nepo-babyism is a sport, will North be carrying home the gold medal? The crossover was so unexpected that even those episodes of cartoons where characters met at an ice cream store look normal.

Does the song mention the lines, 'I did not see that coming,' anywhere? Because it looks like fans are humming it 24/7. First we saw Kendrick and SZA in the Super Bowl: looks like this year is ramping up for something bigger.

Half the internet is vibing to the upbeat rhythms of FKA Twigs latest song while the other half is giving eye rolls. The common sentiment goes: some collabs go down in history, crowned and bejewelled; others hit straight like a bolt of thunder.

Overall, the drama has just started. Let us have a look at the buzz:

For those who are living under the rocks, North West is the 10-year-old child of the famous rapper and producer Kanye West, who has made multiple comebacks into social media headlines (and never let the entertainment spice run out).

FKA Twings, popular for her penchant for the artsy and vibey style, chose to give grooming lessons to the 10-year-old to carve out a unique collaborative niche for themselves.

The cringey social media responses are making flames go high, and it is impossible to tell who gets roasted at the end. Some are pouring in their Gen Z sense of humor with reactions like, “If this is music, I’m done,” while others are ready to consider North tough competition to the iconic Blue Ivy (she is also born to two of the most famous musical personalities of the industry, Beyonce and Jay-Z).
