On a new episode of Khloé Kardashian’s podcast, Khloé in Wonder Land, Kim Kardashian revealed that the artist formerly known as Kanye West performed a DJ set while their daughter North West was being born.
At around the ten-minute mark of the podcast, which can be seen in full above, Kim spoke with her sister about parenting and shared that North has always been fiercely independent from a young age.
“She knew what she wanted since the moment she was born,” she said. “She was getting born to the song ‘Bohemian Rhapsody.’ Kourtney and I talk about this all the time. Kanye was DJing, so he put on [Queen’s] ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ for the moment she came out. And isn’t it so her?”
She said that she and her sister Kourtney would “cry laughing” when looking back at the moment.
“It’s just so like her, you know?” she said, to which Khloé said she loves that song, and Kim agreed. “When I listen to it, I get emosh.”
Later in the interview, she also opened up about co-parenting with Ye, whom she was married to from 2014 to 2022.
“You and Ye have really bonded over North’s producing; you guys are now in a much better place because of that,” said Khloé, to which Kim agreed.
“Yeah,” Kim said. “I’m a really empathetic person. I mean, at the end of the day, we’re always family. I always look at it that way, no matter what’s going on.”
While she conceded that there are times when she’s felt she needed to be “super protective” of her daughter, she would “love” to have that sort of creative partnership with North that Ye has.
“The music side and the producing isn’t my thing,” she continued. “That’s her bonding thing with her dad. But even just, like, coming up with stuff, we have to communicate about how North, like, moves through that world and all these opportunities that come her way, and having to filter that and respecting his opinion on the things that go on with his kids is really important.”
While their marriage didn’t end on the best of terms, Ye and Kim have made an effort as of late to mend their relationship as they co-parent their four children together. The former spouses reportedly spent Christmas together with their children, North West, 12, Saint, 10, Chicago, 7, and Psalm, 6, and were “cordial with each other.”
