Kanye West has officially changed his name to ‘Ye’.


The artist formerly known as Kanye is now officially “Ye,” as the Los Angeles Superior Court confirms to Rolling Stone. 

Judge Michelle Williams Court signed off on the rapper’s petition for the name change.

The petition was filed on August 24, 2021, with the musician citing “personal reasons” for the change with no further explanation.

Ye released an album by the same name in 2018, although it was used as a common shortening of his stage name prior to the project’s release.
