No Kan Say

Hear ye, hear ye!  Your favorite rapper might be changing his name from Kanye to simply Ye.

Why so? 

Kanye (minus the Kan) would only reveal that it’s for “personal reasons.”  But we can speculate.  There is many a “Ye” in the King James Bible.  Perhaps this speaks to Kanye’s religious bent. 

On the Internet, “Ye” often means “Yes.”  Perhaps this speaks to Kanye’s raring-to-go tendencies.  And might “Ye” remind Kanye of Jesus, since the name “Jesus” translates in Hebrew to Yesua (meaning “to rescue” or “to deliver)?

Who really knows?  Not us, and perhaps not even Kanye himself.
