The December 20th live-action film will delve into the origin story of the king of the Pride Lands and Simba’s father.
North followed in the footsteps of her famous parents, Kim Kardashian, 43, and Kanye West, 46, and kickstarted her entertainment career.
The child star first took to the stage four years ago when she took the stage at her father’s Paris Fashion Week show.
The 6-year-old sang a cute song with catchy lyrics as Yeezy models strutted down the runway.
In January 2024, Kanye announced his album Vultures and began hosting several release parties where he rapped tracks from the album.
Not only did North sing a verse on her father’s collaborative single, Talking/Once Again with Ty Dolla $ign, but she also joined the duo for many of their tour performances.
The emerging singer sang the lyrics: “It’s your best friend, Miss, Miss Westy!”
“Don’t try to test me. It’ll be a mess. Just, just bless me/bless me!”
The pre-teen even took to the stage with the designer in March, during his appearance at the Rolling Loud Festival.
Kim’s daughter was joined by friends and her cousin Penelope Disick, 11, in front of a large crowd at the Hollywood Park Grounds.
For this particular show, North’s siblings Psalm, 4, and Chicago, 5, also took to the stage where they danced happily together.
Kanye shares all three children, along with his 7-year-old son Saint, with the Skims founder.
Also in March, rapper Donda’s close friend Justin LaBoy told TMZ that the Westie singer will be picky about her own career.
She is reportedly building her own sound, separate from her famous father, although she plans to collaborate with the controversial star.
The youngster shared plans for her debut album, Elementary School Dropout, and has been hard at work on the project.
Justin told TMZ that North is “doing beat selection” and has even selected a sound engineer for her songs.
According to the source, the 10-year-old girl was inspired by her friends, and the album will feature the participation of a group of children who helped her record the tracks.
The child celebrity has not revealed the release date of her album until now.
