In a world where celebrity antics often overshadow their artistry, Kanye West is always there to serve up the unexpected with a side of genius.

And this time, it’s Ye for you – literally.

The man, the myth, the legend, recently stunned a reporter with a response that wasn’t about his highly upcoming anticipated track… It was much cooler than that.

When asked about the release of his next big hit, Kanye, always one to keep it mysterious and, let’s face it, a little bit fabulous, threw in the ultimate curveball.

Instead of spilling any beans on the album, Kanye simply said, “I changed my name to Ye.” Mic drop. Done.

That’s it… Just Ye. Not Kanye. Not Ye the Artist. Ye!
