Ariana Grande has been having a rough year, to say the least, and thus has stepped away from an SNL appearance. However, Kanye West has stepped into the role and is making the most of it…

…by deciding to change his name to ‘Ye’ just before his appearance.

Yep. ‘Ye’.

If he’s pronouncing it like he would within his name – ‘yay’ – I think perhaps that this may be a move to boost his mood.

After all, wouldn’t it be nice if people said ‘Yay! Yay!’ every time you were around?

Ah, the strange life of celebrities.
