Kim Kardashian revealed that Kanye West played Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" while she was giving birth to North West, saying "it's so typical of her!" The scene, as Kim recalled it, looks like something out of a movie — with Kanye taking over as DJ at the most unexpected moment of their lives.
Kim Kardashian recently appeared on her sister's podcast, Khloé in Wonder Land, where she talked about a unique moment from the birth of her first daughter, North West, in June 2013. As she revealed, while she was in the delivery room, Kanye West decided to take on the role of... DJ, playing songs to "break" the tension of the moment.
While one might have expected a calm music choice, Kanye pulled off a twist: he played Queen's classic "Bohemian Rhapsody" as North was born. Kim described it as something that "perfectly matched" her daughter's personality, which had since shown her intense, creative nature.

She recalled the scene laughing with Kourtney Kardashian, saying that every time she hears the song again, she gets emotional. For her, the choice of “Bohemian Rhapsody” was not accidental — “North knew who she was from the moment she was born,” she said.
The Queen song, released in 1975, remains one of the most iconic songs in music history and is now certified Diamond in the U.S. Kanye seems to have taken a more “artistic” approach to the moment, choosing a track that combines drama, tension, and passion — all elements that, as Kim said, perfectly reflect North.

During the conversation, Kim also opened up about her relationship with her ex-husband today, explaining that despite their differences, their co-parenting has improved significantly. As Khloé revealed, their shared bond with music — through North's love of songwriting and production — has served as a bridge of communication.
Kim admitted that Kanye and North have built a special bond through music. She may not be involved in production, but she feels proud to see their daughter evolve in a world that her father understands so deeply. “That’s their connection,” she said, emphasizing that she always tries to respect Kanye’s opinion when it comes to their children.

Kim also spoke about how she deals with co-parenting, saying that she always tries to see Kanye as a member of the family, regardless of what has happened between them. "At the end of the day, we are always family," she emphasized, showing maturity and composure.
Kim Kardashian and Kanye West married in 2014, a year after North was born, and have four children together: North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm. The couple officially divorced in 2022, but they still have a working relationship for the sake of their children.
North, as it seems, has inherited her father's talent and passion for music. From a young age, she has been actively participating in projects, writing, producing and showing that she has inherited creativity from both of her parents. Kim herself has stated that she sees North discovering herself through music, which fills her with pride.
At the same time, Kim Kardashian, through her SKIMS empire, continues to be one of the most powerful names in the world of fashion and entrepreneurship, while she does not hesitate to speak publicly about moments in her personal life, such as this one — with the same naturalness that has always made her stand out.
The “Bohemian Rhapsody” story quickly went viral, with many fans commenting on social media how “fitting” it was for North to make her entrance into the world to the sounds of such a theatrical and iconic song. After all, as one user wrote on X (formerly Twitter): “If you’re born with a Queen soundtrack, you’re destined for something big.”
Kim shared the incident with honesty and humor, which podcast listeners loved. As she said, her life can be full of tension and unpredictable moments, but she always tries to look at them with gratitude. The scene with Kanye behind the decks, playing Bohemian Rhapsody at birth, remained etched in her memory not only as a funny memory, but also as a moment that perfectly combined music, family, and emotion.
