Overview
- In a Dazed magazine interview published Monday, North West, 13, said she wants to work “at, like, Starbucks next year” because she will turn 14 and wants a regular job.
- North made the comment while promoting her music: she released the six‑track EP N0rth4evr in May and has performed at festivals including Rolling Loud and Lyrical Lemonade’s Summer Smash.
- Plans for a 14‑city Kimokawaii tour with Molly Santana were canceled in late July, a setback North acknowledged on Instagram before the Dazed piece.
- Reporters noted a practical gap: many Starbucks locations commonly hire at 16, raising legal and logistical questions about a 14‑year‑old working in retail.
- The interview has sparked wider public debate about how celebrity parents manage young talent, the family’s branding moves such as NOR11 filings, and whether early public careers affect a teen’s privacy and autonomy.
