- West, 46, revealed the new teeth earlier today on Instagram
- A source told DailyMail.com that dentures are “more expensive than diamonds”.
- The rapper helped design the pricey look — rumored to cost $850,000 — himself
Kanye West cut an imposing figure on Wednesday when he was seen showing off his new titanium dentures while hanging out with Chris Rock and his wife Bianca Sensori.
The 46-year-old rapper smiled and revealed his ultra-chic look, which is rumored to have cost a staggering $850,000.
A source revealed to DailyMail.com that West designed the soft dentures himself.
His teeth were removed and replaced with titanium to create the new permanent appearance that sparkles in the light.
Kanye was pictured looking like the spitting image of Bond villain Jaws – who has appeared in The Spy Who Loved Me and Moonraker – while Chris met up with a thrilled Bianca at the famous Chateau Marmont.
Chris appeared to join the lovebirds for a simple lunch at the hotel, which has been a celebrity favorite for decades.
Kanye was wearing his standard black attire for the outing.
He wore a loose black hoodie with several brighter necklaces peeking out, which he paired with a set of black jeans.
He was also wearing black shoes, and had a bushy beard that contrasted with his buzzed hair.
Chris was wearing a black patterned shirt jacket over a matching T-shirt and puffy blue jeans.
He wore chunky white sneakers to contrast with his dark clothes, and looked sharp with oversized black glasses.
Bianca contrasted the two conservative looks with her sizzling off-the-shoulder unit.
She showed off some major cleavage in the low-cut, strapless look, which was accented with a playful leopard print.
Her wavy black hair looked wet, and she wore it slicked back and trailing the arch of her neck.
The Australian architect also wore what appeared to be a bizarre set of knee-high black Miu Miu thong boots that opened at the bottom to reveal her feet.
The look was on point for her, as she and Kanye have been known to walk around barefoot in public despite the potential risks.
Despite spending most of her time with one of her co-stars, Bianca appeared shocked to see the comedian and looked from ear to ear with wide eyes.
Kanye was also happy to see Chris based on the huge smile on his face.
He was pictured leaning in for an affectionate hug with the funnyman after Chris entered the room.
Chris seemed engaged in the conversation and could also be seen smiling, but both Kanye and Bianca seemed somewhat distracted.
The two were glued to the phones in their hands, both pausing to look at them at some points while still in conversation with the comedian and actor.
In addition to being friends, Kanye and Chris are also former collaborators.
The stand-up star appeared on the popular rapper’s 2010 album My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy in the song Blame Game.
Chris interrupted the essence of the song for a comedy skit in which he played the new lover of a woman with whom the narrator had broken up.
John Legend’s vocals also appear in the tune.
In 2022, in the wake of Kanye’s bizarre behavior following his split from ex-wife Kim Kardashian, Kris defended the producer when asked if Kanye was “crazy” on Dana Carvey and David Spade’s Fly On The Wall show.
‘He’s a weird guy, you know? With Kanye I always say: “Is it worth it?” And I’m like, “Yet!” He said.
However, he indicated that his interest in Kanye was more because of his music than a personal connection when asked if he thought the rapper was worthy of him as a friend or musician.
“As an artist,” Chris replied. “It puts you through a lot of things but you’re like, ‘Okay, the record’s pretty cool!’ I love these sneakers!”
The encounter comes shortly after West removed all of his teeth and replaced them with titanium dentures in his latest shocking move.
rap singer, Who’s going on? He filed a lawsuit for allegedly hitting the autograph student In 2022, he proudly showed off his new pointy smile in an Instagram post – in which he likened himself to iconic James Bond villain Jaws, who appeared in The Spy Who Loved Me and Moonraker.
In an exclusive photo obtained by DailyMail.com, West’s lavish new dentures were on display – which a source revealed are “more expensive than diamonds” and were designed by the star himself.
The transplant is a unique new surgical model for the musician, with the total cost rumored to be $850,000.
The star’s new dentures were fitted by Dr. Thomas Connelly in Beverly Hills alongside Naoki Hayashi, lead dental technician.
Connelly told DailyMail.com: ‘It was a pleasure to work through every step of the process. His vision for designing unique art transcends the evolution of teeth. Marrying his vision with dental science has created an epic new look!’
Back in 2010, the rapper showed off talk show host Ellen DeGeneres’ sparkling diamond and gold implants — which he claimed replaced the entire bottom row of his teeth.
“I thought diamonds were cooler,” he told her, saying he had his dentist remove the bottom row of his teeth and replace them.
“It’s not a grill?” Ellen asked, surprised.
“They’re actually my real teeth,” Kanye replied. I replaced the bottom row of my teeth.
“I think there are some things that rock stars are just supposed to do.”
His previous claims of replacing his teeth were met with skepticism, with Kanye’s fans doubting that even he would do such a thing.
West was let go by Adidas, Gap and Balenciaga after he made a series of anti-Semitic statements in October 2022.
It was recently revealed that he owes more than $1 million in unpaid taxes.
DailyMail.com has discovered that his apparel company, Yeezy Apparel, LLC, has had four active tax liens filed against it over the past three years for unpaid business taxes totaling $934,033.56.
Records show he owes an additional $101,093 in property taxes on two homes he owned with his ex-wife.
The total tax bill comes to $1,035,126.56.
It remains to be seen whether he will pay the huge sum anytime soon as sanctions continue.
The POWER rapper may be trying to liquidate some of his assets.
It was revealed last month that the Malibu Oceanfront West property purchased for $57 million in September 2021 was on the market for less than $4 million.
