Embedded Files
June 10, 2025 — New business records indicate that Kanye West, the musician and entrepreneur who legally changed his name to "Ye" in 2021, has made another name update — this time to "Ye Ye."
The updated name appears in documents filed with the California Secretary of State in June 2025. The forms were submitted by Hussain Lalani, chief financial officer for several of West’s companies, including Yeezy Apparel, Yeezy Record Label LLC, Ox Paha Inc., and Getting Out Our Dreams Inc.
While West has not publicly commented on the filings, and no confirmation has been made through his social media accounts, the documentation suggests a new legal identity is now in use for business purposes.

Ye Apologies for Antisemitic Comments, Says He Is Moving Forward
Ye, the artist and producer formerly known as Kanye West, has issued a public apology for a series of antisemitic remarks made in 2022. In a recent social media post written in Hebrew, Ye expressed remorse for his past statements and said he is no longer aligned with antisemitic views.
His comments come after years of backlash over inflammatory rhetoric, which led to the loss of multiple business partnerships and widespread criticism. The apology was interpreted by some observers as a possible step toward reconciliation with communities affected by his past statements.
Ye stated that his perspective has changed and that he wishes to focus on unity and personal growth going forward. Public reactions have been mixed, with some acknowledging the gesture while others remain cautious, awaiting concrete actions beyond the apology.
