After turning only years in 2021, the rapper officially exchanged the name once again and now answers family name to Brazilians
Kanye Westor rather, Ye, decided to give another revamped in his identity. According to documents obtained by Page Six in California, the rapper of “Gold Digger” now appears recorded as “Ye Ye” in the official roles of their companies.
The change was signed by Hussain Lalanidirector of the artist, who presented the new records with the updated name. Companies of Ye, including YEEZY APPARELthe label YEEZY RECORDS and the Getting Out Our Dreams Inc. already list “Ye Ye” as a manager or responsible member.
Despite the behind -the -scenes movement, the 24 Grammys artist has not yet publicly commented on the new name. Not even on social networks, where it is usually quite active (and controversial), there was any announcement. THE Page Six tried to contact the team of Westbut got no answer.
The last official demonstration on the subject came in early June, when YE He stated in the X (former Twitter) that he would stop using the old @kanyewest. “I will finally stop using @kanyewest on Twitter because my name is YE”He wrote on the 1st.” I will create a ‘Ye’ account and that’s it. “

GONNA START A YE ACCOUNT AND IT IS WHAT IT IS

The artist’s saga of reinventions is not new. In 2018, he had already declared that he would be called YEa name that also baptized his album released that same year, recorded on his Wyoming ranch. In 2021, the change became official with the endorsement of justice, under the justification of “personal reasons.”
In March 2024, his then chief of staff, the controversial Milo Yiannopouloseven sent a letter demanding that all platforms and vehicles refer to the artist only as YEcalling “Kanye West“Of” slave name “.
“YE It is one of the most recognizable people on the planet, at the same level as presidents and popes, ”the text said.“ This decision was not made lightly. The name has been completely, legal and permanently changed. ”
