It’s official: Kanye West is now Ye. Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Michelle Williams Court approved the rapper’s request to formally change his name from Kanye Omari West to just Ye, with no middle name or last name, according Rolling Stone and Deadline. He originally filed the petition to change his moniker in August, citing „personal reasons.“ The 44-year-old’s Instagram and Twitter account currently show his name as Ye, although his official handle remains @kanyewest on both platforms. His ex Kim Kardashian West and their four children – North West,8, Saint West,5, Chicago West,3, and Psalm West,2 – all bear his former surname.
