Bktherula performed at Osheaga festival in Montreal this weekend with a very special guest in attendance.

North West, the twelve-year-old daughter of rapper Kanye West and Kim Kardashian, was spotted in the VIP pit of the Valley Stage on Sunday (Aug 3) watching Bktherula perform. She sported a merch t-shirt of the rapper’s recent LUCY album.


Bktherula shared a cute exchange with the young celebrity after spotting her. “Hey Northie,” she giggled, as West screamed "I love you!" “I love you too.”

West was a conspicuous guest, with many spotting the celebrity in attendance.

West was also spotted with the rapper backstage at Osheaga, gifting her a bouquet of flowers and posing for photos together. Bktherula shared a gallery of images with North on Instagram, simply captioned “North appreciation.”

The rapper told iHeartRadio that the twelve-year-old also came to see her at the Lyrical Lemonade Summer Smash festival in Chicago in June, where she was spotted supporting several artists.

With Bktherula rapping up her FIVE tour back in April, West may have caught one of the rare chances to see her live this summer.
