For other releases, see Kanye West.

Ye is the second profile on streaming services that mirrors Kanye West’s new identity, emerging from his legal name change. This change in name, from Kanye West to just “Ye,” symbolizes his personal and artistic growth.

However, there might be more to this second profile than just a name change. It could also be a strategic move, giving Kanye more control over how he releases his music. This allows him to share specific tracks or albums independently from his main profile.

The profile was first created with the release of Ye’s controversial single “WW3” on March 25, 2025. Previously released songs which credit Ye on DSPs such as Ty Dolla $ign’s “Wheels Fall Off” and Sean Leon’s “BURN EVERYTHING” actually direct to an unrelated profile named Yé.

This profile was superseded by DONDA, which Ye used to release DONDA 2 on May 1, 2025.
