Kanye West requests that the music industry call him ‘Ye’ and believes his previous name is like a ‘slave name.
That’s his name, so you better remember it.
Kanye West’s chief of staff, Milo Yiannopoulos, sent a letter insisting that the rapper should be called Ye and not referred to by his “slave name.” The letter compared Ye’s status to that of presidents and popes in terms of recognition.
He made the decision to change his name completely, legally, and forever It’s who he is now. His name is Ye.”
Yiannopoulos, who is 39 years old, urged streaming platforms, publishers, stores, unions, lyrics websites, and data resellers to make this change since they are some of the most noticeable places.
“In the past, he has called it his slave name. Ye is a Black man in America who wants the same right to control his own identity as anyone else.”
After releasing his self-titled album “Ye” in 2018, Kanye West hinted at his new name on X, stating that he was “the person who was previously called Kanye West.”
The father of four declared, “I am YE.” During an interview in June 2018 with Big Boy, Kanye West mentioned that “ye” is the most frequently used word in the Bible.
He explained that in the Bible, “ye” means ‘you.’ For him, it represents unity and inclusivity, encompassing both the good and the bad in everyone.
Kanye shared that the change from ‘Kanye,’ meaning ‘the only one,’ to ‘Ye’ reflects a reflection of humanity’s complexities and dualities in his album.
