Kanye West has recently undergone a dramatic transformation, opting to replace all of his natural teeth with opulent titanium prostheses, resembling the iconic James Bond antagonist Jaws from the Spy Who Loved Me and Moonraker eras.
In an Instagram post, the rapper proudly showcased his pointed new smile, drawing attention to the staggering $850,000 reportedly spent on this one-of-a-kind surgical implant.
The exclusive photograph obtained by DailyMail.com revealed West’s lavish dentures, described as “more expensive than diamonds,” personally designed by the celebrity himself.
Master Dental Technician Naoki Hayashi and Dr. Thomas Connelly in Beverly Hills collaborated on the intricate fitting process. Connelly praised the artistic vision combined with dental science that resulted in this spectacular new appearance.
This isn’t the first time Kanye West has made headlines for his dental choices. In 2010, he flaunted glistening gold and diamond implants, claiming they had replaced his entire lower row of teeth. However, these statements were met with skepticism from fans.
Amidst these surprising revelations, West has faced financial challenges, with reports indicating delinquency on over $1 million in taxes. His apparel company, Yeezy Apparel, LLC, has accumulated four active tax judgments totaling $934,033.56 over the past three years. Additionally, two co-owned residences face $101,093 in property taxes.
As Kanye West navigates these financial hurdles, he has also put his Malibu oceanfront property, purchased for $57 million in 2021, on the market for $4 million less. The rapper’s recent dental choice, along with these financial moves, raises questions about his evolving lifestyle and potential efforts to divest assets.
