What rapper Kanye West has legally changed his name to

American rapper and fashion designer, best known as Kanye West, has changed his name again.

Kanye West, who has in recent years opted to just be known as Ye, has allegedly claimed the shortened version of his name is so nice that he wants people to say it twice. And so, Ye Ye is born.

AYEYE, YE YE IS HERE

The New York Post got hold of documentation filed in California by Hussain Lalani, Ye Ye’s chief financial officer.

The documents cite the artist’s name as Ye Ye after he had previously been listed as Ye West after the initial change in moniker.

HOW DID YE YE ANNOUNCE THIS TO THE WORLD?

The eccentric public figure took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to share the news of this recent development in his rather tumultuous life.

“Ima finally going to stop using the @kanyewest Twitter cause my name is Ye. Gonna start a ye account and it is what it is,” he revealed.

WHAT EXACTLY IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN KANYE, YE, AND YE YE?

In his backpacking era, the days of soul beat Kanye, his given name was derived from the region in Botswana of the same name. The word, or his name, also had another meaning in Setswana.

In changing his name to just Ye, he said, “In the Bible, it means ‘you.’ So, I’m you. I’m us. It’s us. It went from being Kanye, which means the only one, to just Ye.”

The name Ye is so nice, he now likes saying it twice. Ye Ye recently made his Donda 2 album more readily available after initially dropping it on his pioneering stem players, which very few people cared to purchase.

He is also either gearing up or still contemplating the release of the not-so-highly anticipated album, Bully, which has been in the works now for quite some time with no concrete release date settled on.
