Kanye West calls daughter North West his 'twin' in heartfelt birthday note
Washington, June 16
Kanye West marked a special milestone for his daughter North West by sharing a rare birthday tribute on social media as she turned 13, drawing widespread attention from fans for one particular detail in his message.
The 49-year-old rapper took to Instagram to celebrate the birthday of his and Kim Kardashian's eldest child.
Alongside a photo of North from her first solo music festival performance at Lyrical Lemonade's Summer Smash 2026 festival in Bridgeview, Illinois, West wrote, "Happy Bday Twin."
The brief message quickly caught the attention of followers, many of whom were amused by the rapper referring to his daughter as his "twin."
Reacting to the post, one fan commented, "did u just call ur daughter 'twin' bro."
Another user wrote, "I ain't neva heard Ye say twin in my life."
While the nickname prompted online discussion, West has frequently referred to North as his "twin" in the past.
The father-daughter duo are often compared by fans because of their close bond and similar mannerisms.
North's mother, Kim Kardashian, also celebrated the occasion with a heartfelt Instagram message dedicated to her daughter.
"Happy Birthday my Northiiiiiieeeeeeeee (Uzi voice!!!) I can't believe you are officially a teenager!!!!! There's no one like you my baby girl! I love being your mom and watching you grow. I love you to the aliens galaxies you would speak of as a kid and beyond," Kardashian wrote.
West and Kardashian, who married in May 2014, welcomed North in June 2013.
During their marriage, they also became parents to sons Saint West and Psalm West, and daughter Chicago West.
The former couple ended their marriage after filing for divorce in January 2021.

Kim and Kanye ka parenting style kabhi samajh nahi aata. North ko 13 saal ka hote hi music festival mein perform karwana... India mein toh abhi bhi 'beta padhai likhai karo' bolte hain! But still, wishing her a very happy birthday! 🎂
'Twin' bolne mein kya problem hai? Bacchon ke saath close bond rakhte hain toh aise nicknames toh common hain. Hamare ghar mein toh mummy mujhe 'chota matlabi' bulati hai! 😂 Kanye ka North se attachment dikhta hai, bina kisi negative angle ke dekhna chahiye.
Kanye ne 'Happy Bday Twin' likha aur pura internet pagal ho gaya. Seriously guys? It's such a sweet gesture. Indian parents bhi toh bolte hain 'meri jaan', 'mera beta/beti' - this is just Kanye ka unique way of expressing. Kim ka message bhi bahut cute tha, specially 'Uzi voice' mention. ❤️
Honestly, Kanye ek creative genius hai and his relationship with North is really inspiring. Indian context mein agar koi father apni beti ko 'twin' bole toh shayad thoda awkward lage, but in hip hop culture it's normal. Bas yahi wish karunga ki North apne parents ke controversies se door rahe. 🙏
