Kanye West asks court to legally change his name to Ye
Kanye just wants to be ‘Ye’. Kanye West filed court documents Tuesday to legally change his name.
The Los Angeles Superior Court filing says the 44-year-old wants to get rid of his full name — Kanye Omari West — in favor of just his longtime two-letter nickname, ‘Ye’, with no middle name or last name. The documents, dated Aug. 11 but not sent into the court system until Tuesday, cite “personal reasons” for the change.
A judge must approve of the change before it becomes official.
West, who has called himself ‘Ye’ on his social media pages for years, tweeted that he wanted the change in 2018, saying, “the being formally known as Kanye West. I am ‘YE’.” The moniker was also the title of his 2018 album. He has said in interviews that, along with being a shortening of his first name
he likes that it’s a word used throughout the Bible*.
