Kanye West Changes Name To “Ye”. Simpler.

(Los Angeles, CA) — Kanye West is getting approval to change his name. A Los Angeles judge said West can legally be known as “Ye” [[ yay ]]. The 44-year-old rapper filed a petition for the name change in August and said it was for personal reasons. There’s no word on how the move will affect his divorce proceedings with his soon-to-be-ex-wife Kim, who still goes by Kim Kardashian West.
