Kanye West has left fans’ jaws on the floor after unveiling a new set of titanium gnashers as he compared himself to an iconic James Bond villain.
The 46-year-old rapper, who now prefers to go as Ye, unveiled his shiny new smile to the world on his Instagram story on Wednesday (January 18), leaving his followers believing he had his original teeth pulled out. The Gold Digger artist is rumoured to have splashed a whopping $850,000 (£670,000) for the set.
In the snap, Kanye posted a scarily close-up shot of his mouth, proudly showing off his not-so-pearly whites. He then posted a picture of James Bond’s arch-nemesis from The Spy Who Loved Me and Moonraker, Jaws, as he made a comparison with the baddie.

While some fans were set that he’s “crazy” enough to have all his teeth removed, did he really get the procedure done? Thomas Connely, the Beverly Hills dentist who worked on the procedure, weighed in.
He told MailOnline: “Ye was a pleasure to work with every step of the process. His vision for designing unique art transcends the dental progression. The marriage of his vision with dental science has created a new look that is epic!”
Thomas added: “He did not have his teeth removed. He still has a full dentition. Healthy and happy.”

It’s not Ye’s first bit of teeth tampering. In 2010, the Yeezy owner went on The Ellen DeGeneres Show and teased the the host and said that he replaced his entire bottom row of teeth with sparkling diamond and gold implants.
“I just thought that diamonds were cooler,” he said. “It’s not a grill?” Ellen replied frantically.
Kanye added: “It’s really my real teeth. I replaced my bottom row of teeth.”
