“People think he’s smart edgy and ahead of the curve he’s just odd,” one Twitter user wrote about the news. Clearly, they’re not impressed by the “Ye” potential.
I’m still going to call him Kanye West.

Other fans brought out the jokes. One West fan wrote, “this like in the 8th grade when i wanted to be called by my middle name.”
Who cares? 🤷🏻♀️ He can name himself Prince Consuelo Banana Hammock. Why is this news?

There are some who are not impressed by the latest West news. As they put it, “Everything is man has done in the last 7 years have been unoriginal.”

A potential name change would certainly be a big sell for fans. But, as one of the rapper’s supporters joked, “Sooooo if he calls my name at one of his concerts is it safe to holler back at him HEAR YE HEAR YE.”
Still the goat

While many have been criticizing West for this name change news, it doesn’t change how many of his fans think of him. This fan still believes that the rapper is the “GOAT.”

Another fan summed the whole matter up perfectly. “Ye” is going to “Ye” at the end of the day.
