Kanye West has formally filed to change his name to Ye. Born Kanye Omari West, he filed the legal paperwork for the mononym on Tuesday (August 24), as TMZ reports. Pitchfork has contacted his representatives for comment.

The rapper’s name change comes amid preparations for his third listening event for Donda, his much-delayed follow-up to Jesus Is King. He’s currently in the process of replicating his childhood home in Chicago’s Soldier Field ahead of the event on Thursday, following two other editions in Atlanta. Beyond the arena livestreams, he’s teased new songs titled “Glory” and “No Child Left Behind” in ads for Beats By Dre.
