Kanye West Reportedly Files Trademark For Dating App

Kanye West has been promoting his "Donda" brand heavily, over these last two months. This is named after his late mother, who passed away in 2007. His 10th studio album, "Donda," ended up being released in late August, and went on to debut at number one, on the Billboard 200 chart. This came after three delays in a month, along with three listening events, at stadiums in Atlanta, and his hometown of Chicago.

Kanye is expanding the Donda name, as he's recently said to have been exploring ownership in tech products. Last week, a TMZ report surfaced, where Ye supposedly filed a trademark application on September 21, to put the Donda name on these items. These include tablet computers, audio speakers and surround sound systems. Additional products that Ye is looking to put the Donda name on are smartwatches, smart glasses, wearable activity trackers, and protective flip covers for tablet computers.

Kanye also reportedly filed 10 more trademark applications, for the name "Ye," as this includes for creating masks, computers, sports bags, and home goods. A dating app is also listed in the documents. It's unclear what this dating app would be titled, but the "Ye" name would appear to be part of it. These trademarks were filed by Kanye's company, Mascotte Holdings. Dating apps that Kanye's platform would be in competition with, are Tinder, and OkCupid.

With this information surfacing about Kanye owning a dating app, many were surprised, and came up with what this would look like. Some of the rules that come to mind is this app being a Christian-based site, with no forms of sexual discussions allowed. This comes after Kanye won a Grammy this year for his 2019 Christian-inspired "Jesus Is King" album.

This Saturday, Kim Kardashian is hosting "Saturday Night Live," as she is the first Kardashian to ever do so. This is also the second episode of SNL's new 47th season. A recent Page Six report also stated that Kanye is also helping Kim prepare, regarding her opening monologue, and also with costumes. The two filed for divorce in mid-February, but there's been speculation lately, that they may reconcile. This comes after Kim and Kanye were spotted having dinner at Nobu, in Malibu, last week. Kim also attended multiple "Donda" album listening events, and showed up in a white Balenciaga wedding dress. This hinted to social media, that the chance for reconciliation was very much possible.
