Kanye West's firstborn, North West, is already showing potential as a future singer. The 4-year-old recently performed her dad's new track "No Mistakes."

North West Loves 'Ye'

The follow-up to 2016's The Life of Pablo, Ye, was released on Friday, June 1. It features seven tracks from the rapper/designer including the incredibly catchy "No Mistakes," his collaboration with Kid Cudi and Charlie Wilson. 

On Sunday, June 3, Kanye posted a short video of North wearing a bright pink shirt and holding a chocolate drink in a cardboard box while singing along to the new track. 

"Make no mistake, girl, I still love you," the adorable young woman croons. "Make no mistake, girl, I still love you."

On the caption, the proud father of three added three heart eye emojis.

North will be turning 5 on June 15. She has two other siblings, 2-year-old Saint and 4-month-old Chicago. 

In "Violent Crimes," another track from Ye, the Grammy-winning rapper talks about his children and what he learned now that he has daughters.

"Father, forgive me, I'm scared of the karma / 'Cause now I see women as somethin' to nurture / Not somethin' to conquer," he rapped. "I pray your body's draped more like mine / And not like your mommy's." 

Kanye West Disses Drake In 'Ye'

Elsewhere in the track, Kanye also addressed his rather-controversial past year. He mentioned his reported debt of $53 million, the criticism he received after professing his support for U.S. President Donald J. Trump, and Drake who called him out in the track "Duppy Freestyle."

"The true soul of Ice Cube / Too close to snipe you (the Lord still shines on you)," Kanye stated in "No Mistakes." "Truth told, I like you (Believe it or not, the Lord still shines on you) / Too bold to type you (Believe it or not) / Too rich to fight you / Calm down, you light skin."

Several fans and publications, including Billboard, take the verse as an indirect attack on Drake. 

Ice Cube, of course, is one of the most revered lyricists in the rap and hip-hop scene. Genius notes that Kanye describes himself and his art as a cross between Ice Cube and Michael Jackson in the track "Chain Heavy." 

The line that referenced Drake's skin tone echoes the bars from Pusha T's "The Story of Adidon." In the track released last week, King Push said that the Canadian rapper was not "Black enough" and was afraid to grow out his afro because it "wouldn't nap enough."
