FILE - In this Feb. 9, 2020, file photo, Kanye West arrives at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party in Beverly Hills, Calif. On Monday, Oct. 18, 2021, a Los Angeles judge approved the request of the rapper, producer and fashion designer to legally change his name to just Ye, spelled Y-E, with no middle or last name. A Los Angeles judge on Monday approved the request of the rapper, producer and fashion designer to legally change his name from Kanye Omari West to just Ye, with no middle or last name.
“There being no objections, the petition for change of name is granted,” Judge Michelle Williams Court said in court documents.He has called himself Ye on his social media pages for years. He tweeted in 2018 that he wanted the change 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.
The 44-year-old is in the middle of a divorce with Kim Kardashian West, who did not ask that her last name be changed back to just Kardashian when she filed to split from him in February. The couple’s four children also have his former last name.
Who cares
Just because you change your name… it doesn’t change who you are
Good for him
Who gives a shit!
Bencjacobs How is that pronounced?
And we all need to know this ...why?
Con--Ye. OK. Makes sense
OK, Kanye.
How kan ye do this?
A Prince wannabe
Lmfao
It’s gonna be E in few years
Kanye, Ye worse bro
So is it “yee” or “yay”?
Problem with 'Ye' ( fuck me 😂 ) is his fans think he's a literal God and a genius only people on a higher level thinking will 'understand'. For the rest of us, he's an artist who has bipolar and narcissistic traits who thinks he lives on a different planet to the rest of us.
My name should be Dy then
Ye, whatever!
Half of Florida wanted to vote for him too 🤪
Imagine a life where you're so privileged that your primary focus is a petition to have your name legally changed to 'Ye'. 🙄
Why not Ye-haaa!
Ye kaisa naam hai?
Nothing new... Kevin Diesel shortened his name years ago.
And his Chinese now. Somebody need to call a doctor.
Bencjacobs Hear Ye Hear Ye!
So many people who don’t care are putting a lot of effort into responding
Prince changed his name to a symbol to protect his music. Possibly something similar.
He’s got a new ‘kan’ in his life now.
Can't anyone do this? I mean it's not like your DL or SSN changes. Rhetorical question meaning, 'So?'
So I don’t seem totally uncool to other people, is this pronounced Yay or Yee?
Is Ye a he, a she, or a ze?
Who cares?!
The record label will not own Ye!
This is what our courts are up to?
That's from Ye Olde Pub. Think he just appropriated my culture.
idiot
We hardly knew ye
The sign hangers on his Chicago building already got it wrong.
WGAF ?!
Congrats, Ye!
WhoCares
What kind of fucked up judge gonna deny him the name he identifies as?
Yeesh
S. That’s for So What? W. That’s for Who Gives a Shit?
Is that pronounced, “yee,” or “yay?” Whenever I see the name, “Kanye,” written, my brain first decodes it to, “kayne.”
Who the F*** cares?
Great News
hear ye hear ye
Nay.😆
What a whack job
People are now dumber for having read this. Thank you AP.
Not fish sticks?
don't care.
Yes you kan, Ye
Yo, Yay Ye 🤣
Surprised he didn't name himself God Ye.
