Use his current name.

Kanye West, who legally adopted the name Ye in 2021, has now changed it again.

Page Six discovered new documents in California indicating that West’s CFO, Hussain Lalani, filed paperwork under the name “Ye Ye.”

Previously, documents listed his name as “Ye West,” but his companies—including Yeezy Apparel, Yeezy Record Label, LLC, and Getting Out Our Dreams Inc.—now record his new name as “Ye Ye” in official roles.

Ye Ye has not yet made a public statement on social media. Page Six reached out to West’s representatives for comment but has not received an response.

Earlier this month, West, who has won 24 Grammys, announced on X that he was deleting his Twitter account, which previously used his birth name.

“Ima finally stop using the @kanyewest twitter cause my name is Ye,” he said on June 1. “Gonna start a ye account and it is what it is.”

Back in 2018, West stated on X that he would go by the name Ye.

“the being formally known as Kanye West. I am YE,” he announced then, also using that name for his album released that year, which he recorded at his Wyoming ranch.

In 2021, he filed paperwork to legally change his name for personal reasons, which was approved in 2022.

He later argued that the change was significant: “He didn’t make this decision lightly. It’s now permanent. His name is Ye,” stated a source.

In March 2024, his chief of staff, Milo Yiannopoulos, demanded in writing that West be referred to solely as Ye, describing the original name as a “slave name.”

His representatives emphasize the importance of his chosen name, stating:

“This is who he is now. His name is Ye,” a source said. Additionally, Yiannopoulos called on platforms and institutions to update their records to reflect West’s new identity, branding it as a move for full self-ownership and respect for his preferences as a Black man in America.
