Kanye West reportedly files paperwork to change his name to ‘Ye’
New York Post ^ | August 24, 2021

A Ye by any other name …

Kanye West has filed paperwork to shorten his legal name to his longtime nickname, “Ye,” TMZ is reporting.

West, 44, filed the docs in LA Tuesday, the outlet says, and they note that “in California, unless there’s evidence a name change is designed to commit fraud or other shenanigans … the judge will approve it.”

It’s an interesting move from West, given that one of his least-liked albums, the 23-minute June 2018 release recorded after his TMZ “slavery was a choice” interview, was titled simply “Ye.”

My teenage son likes to yank my chain, so he told me he would vote for West if he ran (he’s said stuff like this before but he voted for Trump)

Anyway, I told him that West is mentally ill and his response was - so how is that different than most elected officials today?

What a doink... his single most recognizable name is “Kanye”

He could do a mononym like “Cher’ or ‘The artist formerly known as Prince’

Maybe he’s just really committed to his chosen pronoun: “Hey, Ye, over there!”

Then he should have gone with “Aawest” while he was at it.

“Yeast” would be catchy too.

It may be just “ye” now, but we can all still see the “con”.

I think I’ll file paperwork to change my name to “Me’.

I’m tired of wasting the 3 seconds it takes to sign my checks.

I’ll make it a flamboyant scrawl, though, to cut down on the ease of forgery.

Is it pronounced as in “hear, ye!”?
