Kanye West, the legendary yet controversial artist has seemingly changed his name again.
The rapper, who officially changed his name to “Ye” in 2018, is now “Ye Ye” in several of his latest business filings in the state of California.
According to reports by ‘E! News’, the name “Ye Ye” has surfaced in official documents connected to some of West’s key ventures, including his well-known brands Yeezy Apparel and Yeezy Record Label, as well as Ox Paha Inc.
The filings were submitted on June 10, and notably, Hussain Lalani, West’s Chief Financial Officer, listed “Ye Ye” as the name associated with West’s role as a manager or member of these companies.
However, it isn’t known whether Kanye West has taken formal steps to legally change his name to “Ye Ye.”
In California, changing one’s name involves a legal process that typically includes publishing a notice in a local newspaper before a judge can approve the request. As of now, no such filings are there.
In 2018 he shared that “Ye” holds significance in the Bible and represents the word “you.” He said, “I’m you, I’m us, it’s us.” For him, moving from “Kanye,” which he described as meaning “the only one,” to simply “Ye” symbolized becoming a mirror of all human complexity—our good, bad, confusion, and clarity.
