Kanye West officially changed his name to Ye. Yay! Here’s hoping that he’s happy with his decision and that he won’t regret it, like, tomorrow. Cuz it’s a done deal.
A Los Angeles judge approved the petition after Kanye requested the name change for “personal reasons”. It is currently unclear what the “personal reasons” are, but hopefully they are worth having to have conversations like the one below over the next few weeks:
Friend: Hey man, it’s so good to see you!
Ye: You too, man.
Friend: What’s new?
Ye: Well, I’m Ye now.
Friend: What?
Ye: I’m Ye.
Friend: Aimye? What’s that?
Ye: Me! I’m Ye.
Friend: ….
Ye: I am Ye now.
Friend: I… umm… So how are the kids?
Ye: I’m telling you my new name is Ye!!
Friend: Ohhhhh. You changed your name?
Ye: Yes. To Ye.
Friend: Toye? Cool.
Ye: For f*cks sake. It’s like Yes but without the s at the end. YE.
Friend: Ohhhhhh. Ye.
Ye: Yes!
Friend: Why?
.
For what it’s worth, Kanye has said in the past that Ye is “the most commonly used word in the Bible, and said in the Bible it means ‘you’”. So, technically, it could’ve been worse. He could’ve chosen something like “the” or “or”, which are heavily repeated throughout the Bible.
