Kanye West, professionally known as Ye, recently underwent an unconventional dental makeover, choosing to exchange his entire set of teeth with titanium dentures worth $850,000. He took to Instagram to showcase his upgraded smile, humorously likening himself to the legendary James Bond antagonist, Jaws, from both Moonraker and The Spy Who Loved Me.
According to MailOnline, the cost of Kanye West's new teeth surpasses even that of diamonds, as the rapper personally designed them. Dr. Thomas Connelly from Beverly Hills expressed his pleasure in working with Ye, stating, "Throughout every stage of the process, Ye was a delight to collaborate with. His artistic vision extends beyond dental procedures, resulting in a truly unique form of art."
"The marriage of his vision with dental science has created a new look that is epic!"
This isn't the initial instance where the American rapper has opted for a dramatic transformation of his teeth. Back in 2010, during a conversation with Ellen DeGeneres, Ye proudly showcased his latest dental modification – dazzling diamond and gold implants.
"I just thought that diamonds were cooler," he said at the time.
Kanye replied: "It's really my real teeth. I replaced my bottom row of teeth.
"I guess there's just certain things that rock stars are supposed to do."
