Text book sign of narcissism

How is that textbook narcissism? I believe he is doing it for business. YE is a very easy brand to remember. More power to him.

I remember when Prince formerly known as , well Prince shortened his name and it actually shortened his life. Keep away from drugs, and get back with booty Kardashian. You two were good together.

Fame is kinder to some than others it seems. Ye is doing it tough.

Yay, he's a moron. South Park: Kanye - "I'm not Aquaman, I'm a reforming gay fish."

A rose by any other name is still a rose.

Too many syllables, too many letters.

I won't remember that.

Ye(ah), who cares, I dont LOL!

Is this considered more or less egregious than changing your pronouns?

OK.
