Kanye West is known for his eccentric and extravagant style, but his latest fashion statement has left many jaws dropped. The rapper has reportedly replaced his entire set of teeth with a custom-made titanium grill, worth a whopping $1 million.
West showed off his new metallic smile on Instagram, comparing himself to the iconic James Bond villain Jaws, who had a similar mouth of metal. The dentures were designed by West himself, under the supervision of a world-class team of dentists and cosmetic surgeons, led by Dr. Thomas Connelly of Beverly Hills.
The dentures are said to be more expensive than diamonds, and are fixed and permanent, unlike veneers or grills. A source close to the situation told The Messenger that West underwent “experimental dentistry” to achieve his unique look.
“It’s quite unlike anything that has been done before. It’s experimental dentistry to say the least. It was designed by Ye under the supervision of a world class team of dentists and cosmetic surgeons, manufactured and fit by Dr. C,” the source said.
West’s fans and critics have reacted with mixed opinions to his new smile, with some praising his creativity and others questioning his sanity. Some have also speculated that the dentures are part of a publicity stunt for his upcoming album, Donda, which has been delayed several times.
Whatever the reason, West has certainly made a bold statement with his titanium teeth, and has once again proven that he is not afraid to push the boundaries of fashion and art.
