Kanye West surprised fans on January 17th with a new Instagram Story picture showcasing his recently installed metallic dentures. He even compared himself to the infamous villain Jaws from the James Bond films “The Spy Who Loved Me” (1977) and “Moonraker” (1979).

Diamonds or Titanium? The Million Dollar Smile

According to the Daily Mail, the rapper himself designed the custom-made dentures, crafted from expensive titanium – rumored to cost a staggering $850,000, even surpassing the price of diamonds! Sources claimed his ex-wife Kim Kardashian facilitated the entire process, involving renowned dental technicians Dr. Thomas Connelly and Naoki Hayashi in Beverly Hills.

Conflicting Reports: Extracted Teeth or Artistic Vision?

While some sources, including the Daily Mail, reported Kanye had all his natural teeth removed for this unique “dental set,” Dr. Connelly denied this in a Complex interview, stating, “He still has a full set of teeth. Be healthy and happy.” Kanye himself has remained silent on the procedure and the rumors.

Online Reactions: Mockery and Concern

The internet has been abuzz with reactions, with many mocking the Grammy winner. Comments ranged from “More money than brains!” to “This isn’t true” and “He really needs help.” This isn’t Kanye’s first foray into unique dental aesthetics. In 2010, he revealed diamond-encrusted lower teeth on The Ellen Degeneres Show.

A Family Affair: A Passion for Bling

It seems a love for flashy teeth runs in the family. In June 2023, Kanye’s son Saint (age 9) sported teeth decorated with the Louis Vuitton logo. Even Kim Kardashian has been known to wear opal and diamond dental jewelry.
