Rapper Kanye West is changing his name \u2013 to Ye.<\/p>\n

Announcing the change on Twitter on Saturday, he wrote: \u201cThe being formally [sic] known as Kanye West. I am YE.\u201d<\/p>\n

West, 41, has been nicknamed Ye for some time and used the moniker as the title for his eighth album, which was released in June.<\/p>\n

The change came ahead of his appearance on Saturday Night Live, where he was expected to launch his new album Yandhi.<\/p>\n

He replaced singer Ariana Grande on the show who cancelled for \u201cemotional reasons\u201d, the show\u2019s creator said.<\/p>\n

As well as being an abbreviation of his current professional name, West has previously said the word has religious significance for him.<\/p>\n

\u201cI believe \u2018ye\u2019 is the most commonly used word in the Bible, and in the Bible it means \u2018you,’\u201d West said earlier this year, discussing his album title with radio host Big Boy.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo I\u2019m you, I\u2019m us, it\u2019s us. It went from Kanye, which means the only one, to just Ye \u2013 just being a reflection of our good, our bad, our confused, everything. The album is more of a reflection of who we are.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
