The reports about American rapper Kanye West changing his name for the second time in four years have gained attention from social media users.

According to the reports, the controversial rapper has chosen to reinvent himself with a new name.

Kanye West now goes by the name 'Ye Ye' and has begun using it in some of his business documents, such as those from Ox Paha Inc., Yeezy Apparel, and Yeezy Record Label LLC.

The reports reveal that the name change was noticed when these businesses filed a "Statement of Information" with California's Secretary of State.

The reason behind the name change, however, remains unknown.

As of now, the name change appears to have been only effected in Kanye's legal documents, as he still uses "Ye," on social media.

In 2021, Kanye legally changed his name from Kanye Omari West to Ye West.

In related news, Legit.ng reported that Kanye West came out as Gay in a chaotic rant about his former wife and reality star, Kim Kardashian.

According to him, Ye and his male cousin slept together when they were 14 years old. This comes as he recently released a new song titled Cousins.
