美国说唱歌手坎耶·韦斯特（中文昵称“侃爷”）申请改名为“Ye（耶）”获得洛杉矶法院批准。这意味着此后他的全名为Ye，没有姓氏和中间名。此前“侃爷”向法院提交申请，希望将他的全名从坎耶·奥马里·韦斯特（Kanye Omari West）改为Ye。

 

The singer Kanye West will from now on formally be known simply by the name Ye.

歌手坎耶·韦斯特从现在起将正式改名为Ye。

 

Judge Michelle Williams granted the change on Monday in a California courthouse, after the rapper filed a petition to change his name in August, documents seen by CNN confirm.

美国有线电视新闻网看到的文件证实，米歇尔·威廉姆斯法官10月18日在加州一法院批准了这一变更，“侃爷”在8月份提交了一份更改姓名的申请。

 

The musician hinted at the change as far back as 2018, when he released his studio album "Ye," and then several months later tweeted: "the being formally known as Kanye West. I am YE."

这位音乐人早在2018年就暗示了这一变化，当时他发行了自己的专辑《Ye》，几个月后他在推特上写道：“我是Ye，全名坎耶·韦斯特。”

 

In an interview shortly after the album's release, he said "Ye" was a reference to a biblical term for "you."

在专辑发行后不久的一次采访中，他说“Ye”指的是圣经中对“你”的称呼。

 

The rapper's name change is just one of several recent big shifts in his life: His wife, Kim Kardashian West, filed for divorce back in February after the pair, who share four young children, had reportedly been living apart for some time.

除了改名以外，“侃爷”生活中最近还发生了其他重大变故：他的妻子金·卡戴珊·韦斯特早在今年2月就提出了离婚申请，据报道，两人已经分居了一段时间，他们有四个年幼的孩子。

 

The musician also released his highly anticipated album "Donda" in August. It debuted¹ at the top of Billboard²'s Top 200 albums chart, making him only the seventh artist to have 10 number 1 albums, according to Billboard.

他还于今年8月份发行了备受期待的专辑《Donda》。根据Billboard的统计，这张专辑一经发布就登上Billboard前200张专辑排行榜的榜首，使他成为第七位拥有10张冠军专辑的艺人。
