North West, 12, performs 2 songs with dad Ye at sold-out Los Angeles concert, including 'Piercing on My Hand'

North Westis ready for "all of the lights."

The 12-year-old daughter ofYe(formerly known as Kanye West) andKim Kardashianjoined her father onstage at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, performing two songs for the sold-out crowd of 70,000 on Wednesday night.

The concert marked the first time the rapper has performed on U.S. soil since 2021.

North, dressed in all black and sunglasses with her long blue hair in pigtails, stepped onstage to her 2024 track "Miss Westie." She then performed two newer songs, "Talking" and "Piercing on My Wrist" — the latter possibly inspired by themultitude of microdermal piercingson both her hands.

The preteen's appearance came toward the end of her father's 33-song setlist, featuring hits like "Can't Tell Me Nothing," "Mercy," "Heartless," "Jesus Walks," "All of the Lights," and "Runaway."

Not only did North get up in front of an enormous crowd, but she also conquered any possible fear of heights, as the entire show took place atop a giant dome illuminated with a projection of the earth. For obvious safety reasons, it appears bothYe and North wore harnesses.

North wasn't the only special guest to join Ye onstage. Don Toliver also performed "Moon," his track with the rapper off 2021'sDonda.

Days before the L.A. show, Ye released his 12th studio album,Bully, which hasn't exactly received rave reviews from critics.Pitchforkdubbed it  "a cheap hit of retro-Kanye," whileRolling Stonegave it 2.5 stars for offering "plenty of fan service, but little substance."

Subsequently, one of the featured producers, James Blake, has publicly requested his name beremovedthe credits of "This One Here," a song he first worked on with Ye back in 2022.

"My original version is a completely different production in spirit" than the version on Bully, he told fan on his social media platform,Vault. "Happy for the fans but I've asked to be taken off the producer credits for now as I don't want to take credit for other people's work and this version isn't what I created with Ye."

Wednesday's concert was not the first time Ye's daughter nearly stole the show. At the age of 6, North made her musical debut at 2020 Paris Fashion Week during her dad's Yeezy show.

Back in January, the preteen traveled to Mexico City to surprise Ye's 40,000 fans at the Monumental Plaza de Toros with the first live performance of "Piercing on My Hand."

Ye's latest tour, in support ofBully, continues for a second night at SoFi Stadium on April 3, before heading to India, Turkey, Netherlands, France, Spain, and Portugal this summer.

In January, the rapper published an essay in theWall Street Journalapologizingfor his past anti-semitic behavior, such as praising Nazi dictatorAdolph Hitlerand even selling T-shirts emblazoned withswastikas.

Citing a car accident 25 years ago that caused damage to the frontal lobe of his brain, yet went "unnoticed" according to Ye. Over time, he added, "I lost touch with reality."

Ye continued, "I said and did things I deeply regret. Some of the people I love the most, I treated the worst. You endured fear, confusion, humiliation, and the exhaustion of trying to have someone who was, at times, unrecognizable. Looking back, I became detached from my true self."

The Unlikely Reason Kris Jenner Is Going Viral on Chinese Social Media Platforms

Kris Jenner has become an unexpected symbol of luck and success across Chinese social media

NEED TO KNOW

• Users are editing her into different professions and using her image to "manifest" wealth and career wins

• TikTok creator Marcelo Wang says the trend reflects admiration for her work ethic — and a sense of humor

Kris Jenneris having an unexpected cultural moment — this time as a symbol of luck, ambition and success on the other side of the world.

Across Chinese social media platforms like Xiaohongshu (also known asRedNote) and Douyin, users have been sharing images of the Kardashian matriarch as part of a playful trend centered on "manifesting" prosperity. Many are even swapping their profile photos for pictures of Jenner, hoping some of her famously sharp business instincts might rub off.

The posts range from simple tributes to elaborate edits, with Jenner reimagined in a variety of professions — from a high-powered attorney to a classroom teacher — all reflecting different paths to success.

So why Jenner?

According to TikTok creator Marcelo Wang, who helped explain the phenomenon to Western audiences, the answer lies in both admiration and irony.

"Because Kris Jenner is one of the hardest working businesswomen in the U.S., Chinese people really respect hard work," Wang said in arecent video, describing the trend as a lighthearted way for Gen Z users to "manifest success."

In China, Jenner's reputation as the ultimate "momager" — guiding the careers of daughtersKim,Khloé,Kourtney,KendallandKylie— has translated into something even bigger. Some users have nicknamed her "Tai Hou," or "Empress Dowager," a term historically used for powerful matriarchs.

On RedNote alone, over 99,000 Jenner-themed posts have surfaced, racking up nearly 52 million views, as perBusiness Insider. The trend has also spread quickly on Douyin, where users are sharing both memes and explainer videos breaking down the phenomenon.

For many participants, the appeal is equal parts aspiration and humor. Some have gone all-in, setting Jenner as their phone wallpaper or incorporating her image into daily routines, while others jokingly credit her with helping them pass exams or land opportunities.

Eventually, the trend reached Jenner herself — and she didn't miss a beat.

After seeing Wang's video, Jenner jumped into the comments with a line fans instantly recognized: "You're ALL doing amazing, sweetie!!!!" — a callback to her iconic moment onKeeping Up with the Kardashians.

Her response only fueled the trend further, delighting fans who were already treating her as an unofficial icon of success.

Interestingly, this isn't the first time a Western pop culture figure has taken on symbolic meaning in Chinese internet culture. Earlier this year,Draco Malfoyalso emerged as a playful good-luck icon duringLunar New Yearcelebrations.

King Charles and Queen Camilla Lead Easter Tradition in Special Place for Kate Middleton and Prince William

King Charles and Queen Camilla attended the Royal Maundy Service on April 2, held in Wales for the first time since 1982

NEED TO KNOW

• The King distributed Maundy coins to 77 men and 77 women, matching his age, in recognition of their community service

• The Royal Maundy Service tradition dates back to 600 AD and was expanded by Queen Elizabeth to travel around the U.K.

King CharlesandQueen Camillaare gearing up for Easter in a place that's especially meaningful forPrince WilliamandKate Middleton.

On April 2, the King, 77, and Queen, 78, attended the Royal Maundy Service at St. Asaph Cathedral in north Wales. The outing marked the first time the event has been held in Wales since 1982 and only the second time in the tradition's history.

Wales is a special place for William and Kate,who were named the Prince and Princess of Wales following King Charles' accession to the thronein September 2022. The Prince of Wales is the historic title for the male heir to the throne, with William and Katepaying many impactful visits to Walessince they took on the titles. The Prince of Wales title is also poignant for King Charles, whobore the Prince of Wales title for 64 years, until his accession.

The King and Queen Camilla played a festive role at the Royal Maundy Service, which commemorates the Christian holy day on the Thursday before Easter.

There, King Charles had the honor of presenting Royal Maundy gifts to approximately 77 men and 77 women from Wales and other dioceses across the U.K., recognizing their exemplary Christian service to their communities.

The "77" number matched the monarch's age, and recipients received two purses containing the "Maundy Money." The white purse held sets of specially minted silver Maundy coins totaling 77 pennies, reflecting his number of years, while the red purse contained a £5 coin commemorating the 100th anniversary ofQueen Elizabeth's birth (later this month) and a 50p coin celebrating the 50th anniversary of The King's Trust, one of King Charles' charities.

The royal family'swebsiteoutlines that the coins are all real legal tender, though it's popular to pocket them as a keepsake, with the ordinary coinage representing the sovereign's gift for food and clothing and the Maundy coins nodding to their age.

The church service featured specially commissioned music by Welsh composers and musicians in a celebration of a return of the Royal Maundy Service to Wales. The service also featured the processional Cross of Wales, a gift from King Charles to the Christians of Wales and cross that was used on his May 2023 coronation day. The Cross of Wales, which headed the procession for the King and Queen Camilla's crowning ceremony at Westminster Abbey almost three years ago, contains a fragment of the True Cross, a gift from the King to Pope Francis and believed to be part of the cross Jesus was crucified on.

After the service wrapped, the King and Queen joined the Royal Maundy Party for the traditional group photo outside the West Door before taking time to meet members of the cathedral community.

The Royal Maundy Service is an ancient tradition tracing back to 600 AD, honoring how Jesus washed the feet of the Apostles at the last supper. The royal family's website explains that the number of coins the monarch distributes correlates to "the number of years they have lived" and King Charles has done the honors every year of his reign,with the exclusion of 2024, shortly after it was announced that he was undergoing treatment for cancer.(The King's treatment for an undisclosed form of cancer continues, and heshared the "good news" in December 2025that his treatment would be reduced this year.)

Queen Camillamade royal history as the first consort to helm the ceremonyand distribute coins at Worcester Cathedral.

The King has continued his late mother Queen Elizabeth's tradition of holding the Royal Maundy Service is held at different cathedrals or abbeys around the U.K.

Early during her record reign, Queen Elizabeth decided that the Maundy money celebration should not be exclusive to the people of London and began a new tradition of bringing the festivities to various houses of worship across the country. She impressively hit the road to visit every cathedral in the U.K. during her reign, according to Royal.UK.

David & Victoria Beckham’s Marriage Being ‘Tested’ — Source

Victoria BeckhamandDavid Beckhamreportedly hit a painful new crossroads as their feud with eldest son Brooklyn worsened. As per sources, the family fallout put fresh pressure on their 26-year marriage. The report linked the strain to Brooklyn's public statement about his 2022 wedding to Nicola Peltz. It also said the designer andformer soccer starwere deciding how to respond. That meant handling the dispute as parents and as two global brands.

Family feud testing Victoria and David Beckham's marriage, claims source

As per RadarOnline, David Beckham and Victoria Beckham felt the crisis had become deeply personal. One insider said their relationship was being "tested to its absolute limit" by the fight. The same source added that it was pushing them toward "an absolute breaking point." Because it centered on "their own son," the pain felt "far more personal and deeply painful." The insider also said the "emotional toll is now immense." They had weathered years of scrutiny together since their 1999 wedding, but the report said this felt different.

The report said the latest rupture followedBrooklyn'spublic post about Nicola Peltz and their 2022 wedding. His complaints reportedly touched on the first dance, the dress issue, and control of his name. Meanwhile, insiders said Victoria struggled to square those claims with her past bond with Brooklyn. One source said the accusations "did not reflect the son she raised." RadarOnline also said Victoria believed the family dynamic shifted sharply after Brooklyn's marriage. In addition, the outlet said the breakdown intensified after the wedding and left the singer shaken.

At the same time, RadarOnline said outside producers had floated a documentary about the fallout. Sources claimed the idea was to "rebalance the narrative" afterBrooklyn'sversion dominated headlines. Another insider said the couple faced "difficult conversations" about whether to answer publicly. That source added that any documentary would help them "regain control of the narrative" and "clarify their position." The outlet said that the approach was meant to answer claims without speaking in scattered public replies. For now, nothing was confirmed. Still, the report said the feud created an "unprecedented level of tension" in their marriage.
