North West has sparked concern after drawing her dad Kanye West’s explicit album cover, which features a scantily-clad Bianca Censori.
Kanye’s controversial new album Vultures 1 is the debut from his hip-hop supergroup with Ty Dollar Sign.
It was released through business-to-business platform FUGA, which has since said it is ‘actively working’ to have the album removed from streaming amid claims it had previously declined to drop it.
A company spokesperson told Billboard: “Late last year, FUGA was presented with the opportunity to release Vultures 1. Exercising our judgment in the ordinary course of business, we declined to do so.”

They said that the ‘long-standing FUGA client’ had violated the company's service agreement, adding: “Therefore, FUGA is actively working with its DSP partners and the client to remove Vultures 1 from our systems.”
According to reports, the album has now return to streaming platforms through Label Engine, which distributed the first two singles from the record.
While the music itself has faced distribution issues, there’s already one person who’s a huge fan of the new album – Kanye's daughter with ex Kim Kardashian, North.

She shared a post on the TikTok account she shares with Kim, as part of a list she’d written about things she felt ‘grateful’ for.
The video has since been deleted from the account, which is managed by her mum.
“What are 3 things [you’re] grateful for today?” the list, dated 13 February, posed. “I am grateful for the VULTURES 1 album because it is insanely good,” North – who features on one of the album’s tracks - wrote.
“I am also grateful for the black vultures because if vultures weren’t alive this amazing album wouldn’t have come out.

"Lastly, I am grateful for the song CARNIVAL.”
Beneath the list was a drawing of the album cover, including a sketch of North’s stepmum Bianca Censori posing in a pair of barely-there knickers, her back turned.
Lyrics in ‘Carnival’ include the likes of ‘Let her suck the d**k / said she was a pro’ and ‘She ride the d**k like a carnival’.

Posting a screenshot of the notebook on Twitter, one person said North drawing her stepmum’s behind was ‘crazy asf’.
“Why is a 10 year old thankful for the song carnival LMAO,” another wrote.
A third said: “No way she drew that.”
A fourth added: “A 10 year old CHILD drawing her step-mom's bare a*s cos her dad uses her as an art object is pretty f**king gross."

Over on Reddit, someone else said it was ‘absolutely unhinged’, saying: “I can’t defend this.”
