Kanye–who legally changed his name to Ye a few years ago, shocked fans when he posted a photo of his new look.

Celebrities getting grills is nothing new, but the 46-year-old decided to take things a step further with his transformation.

The star didn’t exactly add bling to his teeth, instead, he got his teeth removed completely!

The “All Mine” rapper took to his Instagram Story on Wednesday to show off his new metallic dentures.

According to reports from the Daily Mail, Ye’s new teeth are worth a whopping $850,000.

In another post, West went on to compare his new look to the James Bond villain Jaws, who sported a mouth of metal.

The villain made appearances in 1977’s The Spy Who Loved Me and Moonraker in 1979.

According to the outlet, Ye’s teeth were fully removed and replaced with custom-made titanium dentures.
![](https://twentytwowords.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/GettyImages-1429638282-1-scaled.jpg.optimal.jpg)
The procedure was done by the self-proclaimed “Father of Diamond Dentistry,” Dr. Thomas Connelly, and cosmetic dentist Naoki Hayashi.

But, according to Connelly, the rapper’s teeth are still fully intact.

“He did not have his teeth removed,” the Dr. told Complex.
![](https://twentytwowords.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/GettyImages-481870740.jpg.optimal.jpg)
“He still has a full dentition,” he continued. “Healthy and happy 😁.”

Connelly went on to reshare West’s dentures reveal to his own Instagram Story, raving about the new look to the Daily Mail.

“Ye was a pleasure to work with every step of the process,” he gushed. “His vision for designing unique art transcends the dental progression.”
![](https://twentytwowords.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/GettyImages-453656491-1.jpg.optimal.jpg)
“The marriage of his Vision with dental science has created a new look that is epic!” Connelly said.
![](https://twentytwowords.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/GettyImages-458451496.jpg.optimal.jpg)
Unsurprisingly, fans on social media aren’t as much of a fan of the dental work as Ye and his doctor seem to be.
![](https://twentytwowords.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/GettyImages-1205196168.jpg.optimal.jpg)
“No way Kanye west went through with that. Look like he wrapped his teeth with gum wrapper💀😭,” one user commented.
![](https://twentytwowords.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/GettyImages-1076421804.jpg.optimal.jpg)
“He is still an idiot, more money than brains!!! Get Help Man!” another fan wrote on X.

As longtime fans of the rapper already know, Kanye’s new titanium creation isn’t the first time he has traded in his teeth for a new design.
![](https://twentytwowords.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/GettyImages-1209679403-scaled.jpg.optimal.jpg)
Back in 2010, Ye claimed that he had his bottom teeth taken out and replaced with diamonds during an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show.
![](https://twentytwowords.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/GettyImages-488755313.jpg.optimal.jpg)
“I just thought that diamonds were cooler. … It’s certain stuff that rock stars are supposed to do,” he explained at the time.
![](https://twentytwowords.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/GettyImages-1076421774.jpg.optimal.jpg)
He later admitted to Vanity Fair that he removed his teeth instead of getting a grill because he “didn’t feel like having to take them out all the time.”
![](https://twentytwowords.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/GettyImages-1370084490.jpg.optimal.jpg)
He also said that he had to visit the dentist frequently to maintain his unique underbite.
When it comes to Kanye, you never really know what you’re gonna get.

The rapper was pining after Kim Kardashian for years before they finally got together.
![](https://twentytwowords.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/GettyImages-1076421774.jpg.optimal.jpg)
After a long road of friendship and failed relationships for both parties, it was clear just how badly Kanye wanted the reality star to be his wife.
![](https://twentytwowords.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/GettyImages-1205196168.jpg.optimal.jpg)
And in 2014, the pair tied the knot, going on to have four children together: North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm.
![](https://twentytwowords.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/GettyImages-144264085.jpg.optimal.jpg)
In the earlier years of their relationship, Ye was a vocal fan of Kardashian’s famous physique.
![](https://twentytwowords.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/GettyImages-488755313.jpg.optimal.jpg)
After the birth of their eldest daughter, North, in 2013, the couple publicly flirted on Twitter after Kim posted a revealing swimsuit picture.
![](https://twentytwowords.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/GettyImages-463452768.jpg.optimal.jpg)
“HEADING HOME NOW” Ye wrote as he retweeted the picture, letting the world know just how much he liked the photo of Kim’s rear-end.
![](https://twentytwowords.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/GettyImages-1147433672.jpg.optimal.jpg)
But, as the years went on, Kardashian’s sexuality proved to be an issue for West.
![](https://twentytwowords.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/GettyImages-1209679415.jpg.optimal.jpg)
Once he began being more religious, publicly, he condemned his wife for the same outfits he used to praise.
![](https://twentytwowords.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/GettyImages-1206749668-scaled.jpg.optimal.jpg)
On an episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians, the musician said he was affected by Kim’s “sexy” outfits and photos on social media.
![](https://twentytwowords.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/GettyImages-1076421804.jpg.optimal.jpg)
“Social media prompts women, in particular, to put out content that they wouldn’t in the past,” he told Zane Lowe in an interview following the episode.
![](https://twentytwowords.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/GettyImages-163047552.jpg.optimal.jpg)
“When I was younger and I wanted to see something like that I had to pay someone who was older,” he continued. “Now I have friends who have kids in high school and it’s readily available.”
![](https://twentytwowords.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/GettyImages-488755313-1.jpg.optimal.jpg)
During the episode of KUWTK, Kanye told Kim that he was skeptical about her provocative dress Met Gala dress, which Kardashian said had taken eight months to create.
![](https://twentytwowords.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/GettyImages-453656491-1.jpg.optimal.jpg)
“I went through this transition where being a rapper, looking at all these girls and looking at my wife, like, ‘Oh my girl needs to be just like the other girls showing their body off,’” he said.
![](https://twentytwowords.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/shutterstock_477795049-scaled.jpg.optimal.jpg)
He later told Kim, “You are my wife and it affects me when pictures are too sexy.”
![](https://twentytwowords.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/GettyImages-543531002.jpg.optimal.jpg)
At the time, Kardashian fought back, pointing out just how much Ye used to like this expression from her.
![](https://twentytwowords.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/GettyImages-1051894712.jpg.optimal.jpg)
“You built me up to be this sexy person and confidence and all this, and just because you’re on a journey and transformation doesn’t mean I’m in the same spot with you,” she told her husband at the time.
![](https://twentytwowords.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/GettyImages-481870740.jpg.optimal.jpg)
While he wasn’t receptive to that reasoning back then, it seems like he’s come around to being okay with his wife showing some skin.
![](https://twentytwowords.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/GettyImages-598209548-scaled.jpg.optimal.jpg)
Nearly 5 years later, Kim and Kanye are divorced, and the latter is married to his second wife, Bianca Censori.
![](https://twentytwowords.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/GettyImages-1209980016-scaled.jpg.optimal.jpg)
To kick off 2024 with a bang, the Jesus Is King artist took to Instagram to post some photos of Censori.
![](https://twentytwowords.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/GettyImages-1355371044.jpg.optimal.jpg)
The first photo features his wife in a G-string and a fur wrapped around her chest, adding the caption, “No pants this year.”
![](https://twentytwowords.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/GettyImages-1423225595.jpg.optimal.jpg)
The next photo Ye posted was a mirror pic of him and Bianca, and while he’s fully covered, his wife is wearing another revealing ensemble.
![](https://twentytwowords.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/GettyImages-1429638282-1-scaled.jpg.optimal.jpg)
The third and final picture is another solo shot of Censori with her breasts nearly falling out of her top, along with the caption, “Dropped sumn?”
![](https://twentytwowords.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/GettyImages-1429638514-scaled.jpg.optimal.jpg)
The comments section on Ye’s posts are full of fans calling out the rapper’s hypocrisy.
![](https://twentytwowords.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/GettyImages-597577702-scaled.jpg.optimal.jpg)
“After you publicly shamed your ex-wife for posting risqué images of herself,” one commenter pointed out. “What a tool.”
![](https://twentytwowords.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/GettyImages-533815076.jpg.optimal.jpg)
Another wrote, “You talk about hating Kim exposing your daughter, the same child that has access to the internet. Sure she’s going to love daddy’s new post 😂.”
![](https://twentytwowords.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/GettyImages-159316096-scaled.jpg.optimal.jpg)
And others simply think the way Kanye objectifies his wife is creepy, thinking he treats her like an object rather than another human.
![](https://twentytwowords.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/GettyImages-1186140808.jpg.optimal.jpg)
“This is kind of creepy cus she’s ur wife, and ur treating her like a human dominatrix doll… not it,” one fan wrote.
![](https://twentytwowords.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/GettyImages-1209679604.jpg.optimal.jpg)
Another asked, “Is this girl happy? I am really worried for her well-being.”
![](https://twentytwowords.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/GettyImages-1279375748-scaled-e1699988001707.jpg)
“He’s big on screaming how Kris Jenner sells her daughters for money and he doesn’t want that for his daughters, BUT these pictures are ok?” one follower asked. “Looks like porn.”
