Kaye West Files to Change his legal Name to Ye

Kanye West Files to change his Legal name to “Ye” Weeks after he claimed Kim Kardashian is “Still In Love” with him

Amid Kim and Kanye’s divorce, new court documents have revealed that Kanye is hoping to drop his last name entirely,

sparking speculations about whether or not his estranged wife would do the same.

Kim Kardashian West has revealed her thoughts on her ex-husband Kanye West filing to change his name.

In case you missed it, news broke on Tuesday that Kanye, whose legal name currently stands as Kanye Omari West,

has filed to change his name to his longtime stage title, “Ye,” as seen in new court documents obtained by People.

According to the documents, the 44-year-old rapper who’d been married to

Kim Kardashian since 2014 before she filed for divorce back in February 2021 citing “irreconcilable differences”

said his decision to change his name is due to “personal reasons.”

It seems that it was only a matter of time before the name change was taken to court,

as Kanye’s decision follows years of him openly expressing his love for the shortened name “Ye.”

And the change was further foreshadowed by Kanye’s previous comments in an interview with radio host Big Boy that same year,

where he opened up about his admiration for the religious connotation behind the term, when discussing his 2018 self-titled album.

“I believe ‘ye’ is the most commonly used word in the Bible, and in the Bible, it means ‘you,’”

Kanye shared. “So I’m you, I’m us, it’s us.

The title went from Kanye, means the only one, to just Ye being a reflection of our good, our bad, our confusion, everything.”

Now that the name change is potentially being made legal,

Kim whose name remains Kim Kardashian West, and who also shares four children with Kanye has reportedly given her opinion on the topic.

According to sources close to the couple, Kim “will not eliminate West from her name or the names of her children,” despite Kanye’s decision to do so.

According to TMZ,

the star feels “it’s important for her to keep the same last name as her fourth children,

and there are no plans to change North, Psalm, Chicago and Saint’s last names, either.”

The former couple, who were married for seven years before they decided to part ways, have been at the center of public attention lately following Kim’s appearances at each of Kanye’s Donda album listening parties

which marked the first time that the pair had been pictured in the same place since she filed for divorce.

At the first event, which took place at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta back in July,

Kanye notably sang about “losing his family” during a song titled “Love Unconditionally,” while also appearing to break down on stage.

Kanye reportedly fell to his knees and wept while repeating the lyrics, “I’m losing my family,

which many assumed was a reference to Kim and their children, who were seated in the audience.

Then, a month later at the second party,

Kanye took to the stage with more emotional lyrics that appeared to be about his estranged wife who was, yet again, sitting in the audience. He rapped:

And it wasn’t just Kanye’s lyrics that raised eyebrows at the listening parties. The former couple also wore matching outfits at both events, which Kim showed off on social media.

Since then, they’ve been photographed enjoying a lunch date in Malibu shortly after news broke that Kanye had split from girlfriend of three months, Irina Shayk.

However, sources have since revealed that the exes simply have a “friendly relationship” and are committed to co-parenting.

In an emotional conversation with her sisters Kourtney, Kendall, and Kylie during one of the show’s final episodes,

Kim sobbed up while sharing how unhappy she’d been for years of her marriage.

According E-Pop Culture, Kim openly shared her feelings

“I honestly can’t do this anymore,” she wept. “I’m still in this place where I’ve been stuck for years.

I feel like a fucking failure that it’s my third fucking marriage.

I feel like a fucking loser. But I can’t even think about that. I want to only be happy.”

Kim went on to call Kanye “an amazing dad” who’s “done an amazing job,”

before later opening up to her mom Kris Jenner about feeling like she didn’t have a partner to “share life with.”

“I used to think that living apart was when we were getting along the best, but to me that’s sad and that’s not what I want,” she told Kris.

“It’s the little things that I don’t have,” she continued. “I have all the big things.
