Kanye West is now Ye. A Los Angeles judge on Monday approved the request of the rapper, producer and fashion designer to legally change his name from Kanye Omari West to just Ye, with no middle or last name.
"There being no objections, the petition for change of name is granted," Judge Michelle Williams Court said in court documents. The petition filed Aug. 24 cited "personal reasons".
