(FILES) In this file photo taken on August 28, 2016, musician Kanye West performs on stage during the 2016 MTV Video Music Awards at Madison Square Garden in New York. - Kanye West has decided that he now wants to be called Ye. But on political matters, nothing has changed for the pro-Donald Trump rapper. "The being formally (sic) known as Kanye West. I am Ye," he wrote on Twitter. Ye has long been a nickname for West, along with Yeezy, and he chose "Ye" as the title of his last album. He has previously said that he found a spiritual significance to "Ye" -- the plural or formal version of the second-person pronoun in Middle English -- as he so frequently read it in the Bible. West -- or, rather, Ye -- announced the name change shortly before he appeared on "Saturday Night Live," the widely watched television skit show.
