West made the controversial statement as he and his wife Kim Kardashian were being interviewed by André Leon Talley at the Met Gala on Monday.
“How is Saint?” Talley asked West and Kardashian.
“He’s so good, yes,” said Kardashian.
“And how is baby North? My favorite,” Talley asked.
“My favorite!” West responded in agreement.
The couple had been keeping the child out of the public eye.
