The controversial rapper Kanye West (46) has once again set social networks on fire. The artist, also known as Ye, has shown on his social networks the new and luxurious teeth that he has been sporting since Wednesday and, according to sources close to Daily Mail, they are “more expensive than diamonds.” Inspired by the look of the villain 'Jaws', played by Richard Dawson Kiel in the films The Spy Who Loved Me (1977) and Moonraker (1979), the price of the singer's new dental prosthesis amounts to $850,000.
The grills, which were designed by Kanye himself alongside self-proclaimed “father of diamond dentistry” Dr. Thomas Connelly and dental technician Naoki Hayashi, are made of titanium, palladium, platinum and other precious metals, and are secured to your teeth.
Despite speculation that has been published on social networks, in which it was assumed that the rapper had decided to replace his teeth with false titanium dentures, his doctor denied the information: the artist underwent a fixed prosthodontic procedure to to place the titanium grill above your teeth and achieve the look. Connelly confirmed to Complex that he “still has a full set of teeth. Healthy and happy.”
In an interview with Daily Mail, Connelly stated that “it was a pleasure to work with Ye every step of the way.” “Her vision of designing unique art transcends dental progression. Marrying her vision with dental science has created a new look that is epic.”
It is not the first time that the rapper decides to have a modification of this type. In 2010, on The Ellen Degeneres Show, he showed off the sparkling gold and diamond implants that he said replaced the bottom row of his teeth. “I guess there are certain things rock stars are supposed to do,” he explained at the time.
Kanye West's change of look, which has become the center of memes on platform series of comments claiming that he was going to “destroy the Jews.”
