Has Kanye West had his teeth removed?
The hitmaker, 46, followed up the selfie revealing his brand new titanium smile with one featuring a screenshot of a Google search for the James Bond villain, Jaws.
The henchman used his metal chompers to attack and bite his enemies in both the 1977 action flick The Spy Who Loved Me and its 1979 follow-up, Moonraker.
However, the musician has not had his teeth removed.
“The technical term is fixed prosthodontics. They are fixed and permanent. This goes way beyond veneers or grills. It’s quite unlike anything that has been done before,” said a person close to Ye, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because he did not have permission to speak publicly on Ye’s behalf.
