Kanye West's new grillz cost $850,000

Yesterday evening, various rumors circulated regarding the alleged intervention of Ye, during which he was said to have removed his own teeth to have a titanium grill installed, inspired by the one worn by Jaws, an imaginary cinematic character and one of the protagonists in the James Bond saga. However, these rumors were debunked by Thomas Connelly, the dentist in charge of the operation. The inspiration behind Kanye West's new accessory remains evident; after all, who wouldn't want to feel like the protagonist of the movies The Spy Who Loved Me and Moonraker - Operation Space? Connelly stated that Ye's teeth were not removed and that the dental prosthesis, made of palladium, platinum, and titanium and valued at $850,000, was applied to his existing teeth. The result of the operation was showcased by Kanye West on his Instagram profile. Regarding the accessory's design, materials, and the fact that it was conceived by Kanye himself, not much information is available. According to the Washington Post, a friend of Kanye West stated: "The technical term is fixed prosthodontics. The new teeth are permanent. It's an accessory that has nothing to do with grillz; it's something completely different."

Considering that Ye doesn't choose his collaborators randomly, it's important to talk about Thomas Connelly. He is a dentist based in Beverly Hills who has previously designed customized dental accessories for artists and athletes, including Lil Yachty and Post Malone. This time, given the unique opportunity, he agreed to work alongside the client, unable to resist the allure of the image of the Chicago rapper. Furthermore, he told the Daily Mail: "His vision in the artistic field is unique and goes beyond progress in the dental industry." In short, following the release of the YZY POD, the viral sock-shoe, Ye has found another way to make headlines. Meanwhile, no new information has surfaced about the official release of Vultures, which, according to Apple Music, should be out tomorrow.
