A LOS ANGELES judge has approved a petition by American rapper, Kanye West, to officially change his name to be known simply as “Ye,” with no middle or last name.
Michelle Williams, a Los Angeles Superior Court Judge, gave her nod to the request by the singer, who filed his petition on August 24 and stated he was making the change for personal reasons, according to multiple news sites.
Recall that the 44-year-old rapper released an eighth studio album titled “Ye” in June 2018.
That same year, the singer said in an interview with radio host Big Boy that he believes “ye” is “the most commonly used word in the Bible, and said in the Bible it means ‘you.’”
Ye’s wife, currently known as Kim Kardashian West, has kept his former last name despite rumors of divorce, even using it for her SNL appearance two weekends ago.
It is unclear whether (or how) the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star will now keep up with Ye.
