It’s hard to miss the old Kanye when there’s no longer a Kanye.
Kanye West’s name reportedly is now simply Ye, after a Los Angeles judge approved his petition to change his legal identity to just his longtime nickname on Monday, Deadline writes.
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.
This development retroactively makes 2018’s Ye album a self-titled project. That year he spoke about the word “ye” as “the most commonly used word in the Bible” during an interview with Big Boy.
