The entertainer, 44, released an eighth studio album titled "Ye" in June 2018.
That same year, the singer said in an interview with radio host Big Boy that he believes "ye" is "the most commonly used word in the Bible, and in the Bible it means `you."'
While his Twitter account still is @kanyewest, the display name was already changed to "ye" on Monday.
