Kanye West, now legally known as 'Ye', has penned a fervent message to the music industry, emphasizing the importance of recognizing his new name.
Known for years by the nickname 'Ye' and referring to his birth name, Kanye, as his 'slave name', West officially changed his name in October 2021, following his divorce from Kim Kardashian. In a letter circulated by his chief of staff, Milo Yiannopoulos, to industry leaders, West's team stressed the significance of respecting his name change. The letter highlighted West's desire for self-determination and emphasized the permanence and legality of the name change.
"We are reaching out to streaming platforms, publishers, stores, unions, lyrics websites, and data resellers. This change will happen everywhere," Yiannopoulos wrote, urging these entities to align West's identity across their platforms.
The letter comes amidst reports of West being summoned to meet Bianca Censori's father in Australia, expressing hesitation over facing her father's concerns regarding her relationship with the rapper and her provocative fashion choices.
Despite her parents' reservations, Censori has maintained her autonomy and involvement in West's business ventures, playing a significant role in his brand and investments. As West navigates personal and professional dynamics, including his name change and his relationship with Censori, the music industry is urged to acknowledge and respect his chosen identity as 'Ye'.
