Kanye West has changed his name for the second time in recent years, according to new legal documents obtained by The U.S. Sun
The disgraced Kanye, 48, officially changed his name to “Ye” in 2021 after filing papers in Los Angeles court, but now has seemingly changed his mind again.

On new business documents filed by his chief financial officer Hussain Lalani with the State of California, it states that his new name is now “Ye Ye”.
The double Ye is different from other papers which had been previously filed, as his official title was “Ye West.”
This has come to light when his core businesses filed a “Statement of Information” with California’s Secretary of State, which gives the most up-to-date details for a business such as the office address, officers, directors and the type of industry.
One of his main firms, Ox Paha Inc, which has filed hundreds of trademarks on behalf of Ye, now calls him “Ye Ye” on official docs.
His clothing company Yeezy Apparel and music businesses, Yeezy Record Label LLC and Getting Out Our Dreams Inc, have also followed suit.
He has yet to publicly announce his new name on social media.
Meanwhile, as The U.S. Sun previously reported, Kanye’s wife Bianca Censori recently filed papers to start her own business.
She registered Bianca Censori Inc. last month in California, and also registered her full name as an Australian firm based in Alphington, a Melbourne suburb.
NEW HEADQUARTERS
In the case of Ox Paha Inc, Yeezy Record Label LLC and Getting Out Our Dreams Inc, the business headquarters has changed from a church in Northridge, Los Angeles, which burnt down in October after being left vacant by Kanye.
Their headquarters is now listed as the office building he purchased for $6.7 million in March 2023 on trendy Melrose Ave. The building was bought by his firm Ox Paha, according to records.
It has also been left to rot in the last couple of years.
In March, police were called when a swastika was painted on the side of the building in the aftermath of vile antisemitic comments he’d made on X, formerly known as Twitter.
Kanye has been particularly prickly about being called his birth name recently – walking out on an interview with Piers Morgan because he dared to call him Kanye.
He recently took to X to reiterate that his name is Ye seemingly after the altercation with the British TV presenter last month.
Piers explained the incident on Instagram saying: “I interviewed Kanye West again today.
“As I expected, given what I’ve said about him recently, it didn’t last long or go well.
“This was him right before he stomped off like a big baby before I could ask him why he’s become a vile, Hitler-loving, Nazi-slathering, anti-Semitic pr**k.”
When a Ye fan site pointed out on X that “Piers Morgan calling him ‘Kanye West’ is exactly why Ye left the interview,” Piers responded: “His X account name is @kanyewest”.
On June 1, Ye went onto X and fumed: “Ima finally stop using the @kanyewest twitter cause my name is Ye… Gonna start a ye account and it is what it is.”
