Grammy award-winning singer Kanye West now wants to be known as “Ye”. The 44-year-old US rapper has filed court documents to legally change his name.
He wants to get rid of his full name “Kanye Omari West” in favor of just his longtime two-letter nickname, “Ye”. Kanye no longer wants no middle name or last name, according to the Los Angeles Superior Court filing.
West has been calling himself “Ye” on his social media pages for years, and first revealed he wanted the change in 2018 tweeting: “the being formally known as Kanye West. I am YE.”
The court documents are dated 11th August but were not sent into the court system until Tuesday 24th August, citing “personal reasons” for his decision.
“Ye” is the title of West’s 2018 album. It is also a word used throughout the Bible.
The rapper is in the midst of a divorce from reality television star Kim Kardashian West, whom he married in 2014 and shares children North, seven, Saint, five, Chicago, three and two-year-old Psalm.

He has been holding series of stadium listening parties for his much-hyped forthcoming album “Donda”, which is scheduled to be released before the end of August.
“Donda” is named in tribute to his late mother. It is a follow-up to his 2019 gospel album “Jesus is King”. The album won the best contemporary Christian music album at the Grammys earlier this year.
