You know nothing surprises us anymore when it comes to Kanye West who filed court documents Tuesday to legally change his name. Papers from the Los Angeles Superior Court show that the 44-year-old wants to ditch his full name — Kanye Omari West — replacing it with his two-letter nickname – Ye – with no middle name or last name.

The documents cite “personal reasons” as the explanation for the change.

Kanye has been capturing headlines recently, primarily due to his failed marriage with reality star Kim Kardashian, with whom he shares four children.

He’s also been focusing on new music, holding a series of stadium listening parties for his forthcoming 10th studio album, “Donda,” which is scheduled to be released before the end of August.

You never know… this name change could be just another one of Kanye’s well-known publicity stunts to try and increase album sales…or hey… he just may be trying to reinvent himself.

Whatever it is… we wish him well. Hey Ye!!! 🙂
