Amid all of this, the rapper changed his name to Ye in 2018.
At the time, the star explained why he chose this new moniker in an interview:
In the Bible, it means 'you'. So, I'm you, I'm us, it's us. It went from Kanye, which means the only one, to just Ye—just being a reflection of our good, our bad, our confusion, everything.
Now he's raised more eyebrows with another reported name change.

Reports of the name change started circulating when West's chief financial officer, Hussain Lalani, referred to the rapper as Ye Ye in multiple filings sent to the California Secretary of State.
E! News obtained the documents concerning West's businesses and found that Ye Ye was listed as the "manager or member" of Yeezy Apparel, Yeezy Record Label, and Ox Paha Inc.
