The 44-year-old musician, record producer and fashion entrepreneur has used Ye as his Twitter handle for years and had petitioned a
court to make it his full name with no middle name or last name. Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Michelle Williams Court approved
his request on Monday, according to court documents.
“Ye” also was the name of the singer’s 2018 album. He told a radio host that year he believed ye is the most commonly used word in
the Bible, where it means “you.”
So how exactly to do you pronounce ‘Ye’?
The pronunciation of West’s new name has most of us stumped. Whilst some fans thought the name might be spoken as ‘Ye-e’ like
‘Yeezy’, reports say that the name is pronounced ‘Yay’, like ‘Kan-ye’.
Representatives for the entertainer did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
