The difference is that Prince actually had an articulable reason for doing that. He was protesting predatory record contracts. Ye doesn’t have that excuse. Plus, as others have pointed out, he’s still extensively using the name Kanye West, so I think he doesn’t have much to complain about if people still call him that. Also, I don’t recall, with all the outrageous things he’s said lately, him complaining about people calling him Kanye. It doesn’t seem like it’s a big deal to him.
