North West uses a fake name when she’s out with friends but she’s actually revealed she may switch it up soon.
With the eldest of Kanye West and Kim Kardashian’s kids having already revealed plans to take over Yeezy and Skims and announced her debut album aged 10 – clearly not being one to shy away from the public eye – actually likes to retain some form of anonymity.
In a conversation with Interview Magazine with her mom, West reflected on the consequences which come with having two of the world’s most famous celebrities as parents.
Explaining her attitude to when it comes to paparazzi being allowed and not allowed to take photographs of her, West said: “I like taking pictures of myself, but I don’t like when paparazzi do. When I just woke up and there’s so much paparazzi, I’m like, ‘Yo, I’m going to sue you.’
“If I’m ready, if I’m not tired, if my outfit’s good, I’m like, ‘Okay, I could take a picture.’”
And if she’s out playing with friends, West revealed to her mom she actually adopts a fake name.

When asked if she’d ever adopt a fake name, West responded: “I have one.”
The now-11-year-old revealed she goes by the name ‘Katie Johnson’ when she’s ‘out at Sky Zone [a trampoline park] with [her] friends’.
However, she added she wants to ‘change’ it soon.
She continued: “When I look in the mirror for a long time, I’m like, ‘I do not look like a Katie.’ And then I was like, ‘Okay, I got to change my name.’
“So I’m telling y’all now.”
What her next fake name will be, who knows, but West did refer to herself by a different name during a performance with Ye one time.

Back in February earlier this year, North joined her dad on stage to perform in a song which features on his studio album titled Vultures 1.
The song, ‘Talking,’ was released earlier this year by Ye and Ty Dollar $ign – under the joint name ¥$ – and saw North make her rapping debut and it was at a performance in Paris she performed her verse live.
West rapped: “It’s your bestie, Miss Miss Westie / Don’t try to test me / It’s gonna get messy.”
During her appearance in Paris, North also announced she’d been working on an album of her own.
