If he can’t get his daughter in the pages of “Vogue,” Kanye West is willing to help out her grandmother instead.
West and Kim Kardashian’s daughter will make her public debut on Friday’s episode of Kris Jenner’s daytime talk show, “Kris,” reports TMZ. Jenner also scored a rare televised interview with the proud father.
Born on June 15, Baby North has yet to be seen as in public. She was covered with a blanket at West’s grandfather’s funeral in Oklahoma last weekend.
The exclusive photo features the baby lying by herself on a comforter, clad in a “very expensive” onesie, reports Radar Online.
During Monday’s taping of the episode the picture was flashed briefly, so that audience members couldn’t snap a photo of it.
The couple reportedly turned down a $4 million offer from an Australian news who wanted to feature the first image of the two-month-old. Sources say that the hip-hop legend still holds out hope that his daughter’s debut photo spread will appear in the pages of “Vogue.”
For Jenner, the timing couldn’t be better. “Kris” has struggled to draw in audiences during its six week summer test run on select Fox affiliates, reports The Hollywood Reporter.
Friday marks the run’s last episode. If the picture results in a ratings boost, that will only make the show that much more attractive to programmers.
Kardashian will be glad to help out her mother, but according to Radar, she’s also hoping to calm the hysteria surrounding her daughter.
“Right now, she is worried about the safety of Nori because paps are throwing stuff over the walls, yelling awful things at her,” a source close to her told the gossip site. “She feels threatened and scared right now that if they don’t just let everyone see the kid, you all are gonna go cray cray on her when she does finally emerge.”
Though Baby North will make her first appearance on her grandmother’s show, the segment, and the entire episode, will have to be approved by her father first.
