Kanye had previously expressed interest in changing his name to 'Ye'. In a 2018 tweet, he said, "The being formally known as Kanye West. I am YE."
Kanye's four children North, 8, Saint, 5, Chicago, 3, and Psalm, 2 and ex-wife Kim Kardashian all share 'West' as their surname, so if Kanye gets his wish, he'll no longer share his last name with them.
Earlier Kim Kardashian said her ex-husband Kanye West is like family, despite their divorce, adding in a television show that she will always be his biggest fan.
Kardashian, 40, was speaking on a reunion show for "Keeping Up with the Kardashians."
Shortly after finishing shooting for the final season of the E! Reality show, Kardashian filed for divorce in February from rapper West citing irreconcilable differences in their marriage of almost seven years.
