|August 28, 2021
Music icon Kanye West has filed to legally change his name to his long-time nickname “Ye,” US media reported Wednesday, citing documents filed in a Los Angeles court.
The 44-year-old wants to change his full name — Kanye Omari West — to the two-letter Ye, with no middle or last name, according to NBC News and other US media.
The change was requested for “personal reasons” and must be approved by a judge, NBC said.
