August 25, (THEWILL) – Born again American rapper, Kanye West, has reportedly filed paperwork to change his name to ‘Ye.’
According to TMZ, the billionaire rapper filed for the name change on Tuesday, August 24, 2021, at a Los Angeles court.
This move is coming ahead of his forthcoming album, “Donda,” which he named after his late mother.
THEWILL writes that Kanye’s estranged wife, Kim Kardashian still has his name attached to hers, months after filing for divorce.
It is not yet certain if Kim will change her name if the court approves West’s decision.
West first hinted about plans to change his name in 2019 during a conversation with Yeezy’s head footwear designer, Steven Smith.
