Kanye West’s new titanium teeth have been slammed by fans who branded the dentures ‘repulsive’ and compared them to a gum wrapper.
The controversial rapper had $850K dentures installed in his latest publicity-seeking move, which is claimed to have been ‘more expensive than diamonds.’
However, despite the costly change, Kanye’s fans branded his new look a ‘terrible decision’ as they took to social media to share their thoughts.
At first glance, most presumed that Kanye’s mouth was covered in a gum wrapper or kitchen foil, which would have been a far cheaper alternative for the same effect.
A number of others said Kanye – who has past made headlines for his outrageous antics and repeated antisemitic statements – was merely seeking attention.

Sharing a picture of a set of teeth wrapped in foil, one person said: ‘S*** looks like aluminum foil.’
While others agreed, writing: ‘Thought this s*** was foil.’
‘All that to look like he wrapped the gum wrapped around his teeth is wild’ and ‘I know aluminum over teeth when I see it.’
‘You could have told me that was a Wriggly’s gum wrapper and I would have believed you.’
Others online claimed it was a ‘terrible decision’ to have his teeth removed, writing: ‘Worst decision I’ve ever seen in my life.’
And: ‘I don’t know what to say this doesn’t look like a good idea.’
Some fans also worried what would happen when Kanye bites his tongue, admitting they thought it would be a potentially painful accident.
Sharing a meme of Tom [Tom & Jerry] jumping into the air, one person wrote: ‘When Kanye accidentally bites his tongue for the first time.’

Another said: ‘Accidentally bite your tongue and it’s over.’
A number of commenters said Kanye’s llatest actions were reflective of contemporary celebrity culture, in which attention can be a coveted commodity.
One mused: ‘This further proves that wealthy people are absolutely beyond bored and have nothing to do with their life whatsoever.
‘They will do the most outrageous s***, spend the most money on the most outrageous things. Just to get attention, this dude in a multi-millionaire and if he wanted to can feed half of Chicago with his money.
‘But this also proves the point that Kanye isn’t as crazy as you think. He’s definitely conscious and knowledgeable of some of the dumb s*** he does.’
Kanye, who is being sued for allegedly hitting an autograph seeker in 2022, proudly flashed his pointy new smile in an Instagram post –
He likened himself to iconic James Bond villain, Jaws, who appeared in The Spy Who Loved Me and Moonraker.
The implant is a new surgical model and is unique to the musician – with the total cost rumored to be an eye-watering $850,000.
The star’s new dentures were fitted by Dr Thomas Connelly in Beverly Hills alongside Naoki Hayashi, Master Dental Technician.

Connelly told DailyMail.com: ‘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!’
Back in 2010 the rapper showed off the sparkling diamond and gold implants to chat show host Ellen DeGeneres – which he claimed had replaced his entire bottom row of teeth.
‘I just thought that diamonds were cooler,’ he told her, saying he asked the dentist to remove his bottom row of teeth and replace them.
A fascinated Ellen asked: ‘It’s not a grill?’
Kanye replied: ‘It’s really my real teeth. I replaced my bottom row of teeth.
‘I guess there’s just certain things that rock stars are supposed to do.’
His earlier claims to have replaced his teeth were met with scepticism, with Kanye’s fans doubting that even he would do such a thing.
Kanye, was dropped by Adidas, Gap and Balenciaga after he went on a series of anti-Semitic rants in October 2022.
