Kim Kardashian and Ye’s Daughter North West Performs ‘Lion King’ Song at Disney Celebration
Jennifer Hudson, Nathan Lane and Billy Eichner were among the other performers at the Hollywood Bowl’s 30th anniversary event for the classic animated film.
North West, the 10-year-old daughter of Kim Kardashian and Kanye “Ye” West, was among the notable names who helped bring The Lion King to life in celebration of the original film’s 30th anniversary.
Disney honored the popular animated film Friday at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles with a screening of the film backed by a live orchestra, interspersed with live musical numbers that included performances originally seen in the Broadway stage production. The studio released the original movie in theaters on June 24, 1994.
North West performed “I Just Can’t Wait to Be King” onstage while dressed as young lion cub Simba. Jason Weaver, who performed the song in the original movie, introduced her by mentioning that this marked West’s “Hollywood debut” and told the crowd, “Please welcome the brilliant North West.” West’s family members were seen supporting her from the audience.
