Ye, formally known as Kanye West is tired of the disrespect of “people calling him out his name.” He took to Instagram to give a piece of his mind to social media users along with revealing a screenshot of his conversation with personality Justin Laboy.
“I’m closing my Kanye West Instagram account. My name is Ye. No brand or numbers gonna force me to call myself what they want me to still be,” he texted in the text thread.
He also captioned the post, “Name being changed to Ye on insta shortly,” but the post has been since deleted. He had originally wrote:
“Somebody has Ye as an account I would like to have my name so I can change my account to my legal name Nobody finna bully nothing Not no promoters Not no DSPs I don’t care My name is Ye now You call me Kanye West then you calling me out of my name.”

The name change came back in 2021 where he explained his reasoning behind the change: “I believe Ye is the most commonly used word in the Bible. And in the Bible, it means, ‘You.’ I’m all of you.”
