TMZ got their hands on a portion of the legal docs that find West’s filing to be renamed as just purely “Ye” as far as his government paperwork goes. Although, Kim Kardashian-West and their four kids together still hold Kanye’s last name. The reality star reportedly filed for divorce after nearly seven years of marriage in February.
