Kanye West Receives Approval From Judge To Officially Change Name To Ye

Kanye West’s name is now simply Ye, without a middle or last name, after a Los Angeles judge approved his petition to change his legal identity to just his longtime nickname on Tuesday, Deadline and Rolling Stone, among other sites, have confirmed. 

The decision by Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Michelle Williams Court comes nearly two months after it was revealed on Aug. 24 that Yeezus had filed the petition to swap out his birth name of Kanye Omari West.
