Recently, Kim showed her support by attending one of Kanye's Donda listening parties, and the two are said to have gone on a lunch date together.
Kanye West applies to change name
As earlier reported by Briefly News, filed court documents to officially change his name to just Ye.
According to The Guardian, court papers indicated that Kanye Omari West petitioned to have the name become a Ye, with no other first name or surname.
The application cited “personal reasons” for the change. A judge will now need to approve the filing.
This is not the first time Kanye has mentioned wanting to become Ye. In 2018, the rapper posted a tweet saying that he was just to be addressed as Ye now.
“I believe ‘Ye’ is the most commonly used word in the Bible, and in the Bible it means you. So I’m you, I’m us, it’s us.” “I went from Kanye, which means the only one, to just Ye – just being a reflection of our good, our bad, our confused, everything.”
Many of his fans have mixed reactions regarding his next move.
