Ye Tells Chris Cuomo He’s No Longer Kanye West: At Least in the Chyron, Change it to Ye

EXCERPT:

WEST: "You guys are supposed to be made aware to use my legal name, Ye. I’ve changed my name like how Cassius Clay changed his name to Muhammad Ali. I’m sure you guys didn’t mean it as any disrespect, but at least on the chyron change my name to Ye. You can say 'formerly known as Kanye West' if you'd like to, but my name is Ye. (...) The name West is a slave name, and I wanted to free myself of all of the older mentality. That it the reason I'm telling you that."
