Kanye West has changed officially his name Ye. This isn’t the first time he’s asked us to call him by another name, he’s gone by Yeezy, Kanyeezy, Yeezuz, and now officially just Ye. We want to hear from YOU in our #CultureChat down below. What do you think about the new name change? He’s not the only one who has done this before.
There’s been plenty but to name a few:
Puff Daddy / Diddy / Sean Combs / Brother Love/Love
Snoop Dogg / Snoop Lion
Biggie Smalls / The Notorious B.I.G
Lil Bow Wow / Bow wow / Shad Moss
Shrimp Daddy / Lil Wayne / Lil Weezy / Tunechi
Prince changed his name to a Symbol.
Who has been your favorite name change over the years and do you actually use their new chosen name? I still and always will call Shad Boss, Lil Bow Weezy.
