Rapper Kanye West is changing his name - to Ye.

Announcing the change on Twitter on Saturday, he wrote: "The being formally [sic] known as Kanye West. I am YE."

West, 41, has been nicknamed Ye for some time and used the moniker as the title for his eighth album, which was released in June.

The change comes ahead of his appearance on Saturday Night Live, where he is expected to launch his new album Yandhi.

He replaces singer Ariana Grande on the show who cancelled for "emotional reasons", the show's creator said.

As well as being an abbreviation of his current professional name, West has previously said the word has religious significance for him.

"I believe 'ye' is the most commonly used word in the Bible, and in the Bible it means 'you,'" West said earlier this year, discussing his album title with radio host Big Boy.

"So I'm you, I'm us, it's us. It went from Kanye, which means the only one, to just Ye - just being a reflection of our good, our bad, our confused, everything. The album is more of a reflection of who we are."

He is one of a number of famous rappers to change their name.

Sean Combs has been variously known as Puff Daddy, P. Diddy or Diddy, but this year announced his preference for the names Love and Brother Love.

A former West collaborator, JAY-Z, has also made do with or without a hyphen and capitals.

... 'ye' as their father tho. I suppose they keep the last name, and if not, it makes their stupid fucking names... kinda pointless?...

Is this some sort of response to the left culture/media's passive aggressive treatment of him for being a Semi-Trumpite? It's not like they own him, or his name, or any shit like that; he's not their fucking slave. I'm starting to think this man isn't that bright (lol)

This is somehow dumber than the time Prince legally changed his name to that symbol.
 
Very good. I shall continue to call him Kayne West, because I do not speak ghetto niggerish and the world will function as normal.
