The Gold Digger rapper’s increasingly questionable decisions continue, as a few hours ago it was reported that Kanye West had removed all of his teeth, replacing them with permanent titanium teeth for the reported cost of over AED 3 Million.
Link to Kanye’s official Instagram here.
So why would Kanye, nonetheless anyone, do this?
According to his Instagram story, Kanye has modeled his new bulletproof chompers after the classic James Bond villain, Jaws, who made appearances in 1977’s ‘The Spy Who Loved Me’ and 1979’s ‘Moonraker.’ Perhaps not the obvious choice for those looking to pretty themselves up, but Kanye isn’t an obvious guy. See a clip of Kanye’s orthodontic inspiration below.
The Daily Mail reported that West’s teeth were removed in their entirety, and replaced with customised titanium dentures by Dr. Thomas Connely and cosmetic dentist, Naoki Hayashi, the former going by the self proclaimed moniker, ‘Father of Diamond Dentistry.’
One user on X, formerly known as Twitter, slammed the rapper saying, “He is still an idiot, more money than brains!!! Get Help Man!”
Another called him “Vampire Kanye.”
Unfortunately, this isn’t the first time Ye has intentionally, and very expensively, disfigured himself.
On an episode of the Ellen Degeneres Show back in 2010, he claimed that he replaced the entire bottom row of his teeth with diamonds because “I just thought that diamonds were cooler…it’s certain stuff that rock stars are supposed to do.”
Sigh.
