Kanye West Filed New Business Documents With Name As “Ye Ye”

Ye quietly filed new business documents in California to adopt the name “Ye Ye,” though he hasn’t confirmed the change publicly or legally.

Kanye West has reportedly filed to change his name again—this time to “Ye Ye”—according to new business records submitted in California and first reported by The U.S. Sun on Sunday (June 9).

In October 2021, the rapper legally changed his full name from Kanye Omari West to Ye, a decision approved by a Los Angeles judge.

However, filings list “Ye Ye” as the name associated with several of his companies, including Yeezy Apparel, Yeezy Record Label LLC and Getting Out Our Dreams Inc.

The paperwork was submitted by Hussain Lalani, the Chief Financial Officer of the producer’s many ventures. The filings do not include a reason for the change and he himself has yet to confirm it.

When Kanye first changed his name, he explained the decision during an interview with Big Boy, saying, “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.”

The new filings come amid ongoing speculation about his next music project after his album Donda 2 was yanked and the future of his Yeezy brand after a Super Bowl advertisement that linked to his Shopify store, which sold a S####### T-shirt.

As of Tuesday (June 10), no court documents have surfaced confirming a legal name change to “Ye Ye,” and the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office has not listed any updates regarding the new moniker.
