Kanye West is no more.
A Los Angeles judge signed off on the rapper's petition to change his name to Ye. The 44-year-old has no legal middle or last name. Monday's decision comes less than two months after the Yeezy designer filed paperwork saying he was making the switch for "personal reasons," but did not elaborate.
As for why he chose the name Ye, the "Runaway" singer has long held that nickname. It's even the title of his eighth studio album. During a 2018 interview promoting Ye, he said he connected to the biblical significance of the moniker.
