Kanye West has reportedly filed to legally change his name to Ye.
The rapper, whose stage name has been Ye for several years, has allegedly filed in Los Angeles courts, according to People, and gave only "personal reasons" for his decision to submit the documents.
The 44-year-old now has to wait for a Californian judge to agree to sign off on the filing before it is official.

Kanye explained in 2018 that he liked the name because of its religious significance, as well as being an abbreviation of his name.
"I believe 'ye' is the most commonly used word in the Bible, and in the Bible, it means 'you,'" he shared.
"So I'm you, I'm us, it's us. It went from Kanye, which means the only one, to just Ye — just being a reflection of our good, our bad, our confusion, everything."
