Kanye West teeth: Rapper shows off his permanent diamond and gold chompers

Don't count Kanye West as an official member of the ill grill club.

His new chompers are all real - and permanent.

After tweeting a picture in July that showed the hip-hop artist had a mouth full of bling, West explained on the "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" Tuesday that he actually had gold and diamonds inserted to replace his bottom of row of teeth because he "just thought the diamonds were cooler."

"I just like diamond teeth and I didn't feel like having to take them out all the time," West said.

Hey, Kanye, just wait. Someone else will take them out for you all at once.

Okay, that explains it - he’s a rapper. All I ever knew about him was that he was famous for something and that his mom died during plastic surgery. Rapper = useless, classless, moronic.

“Not knowing anything about this classless, materialistic egotist, is he one of those wrappers that made his cash by attacking the “evils” of Western civ, like greedy corporations and greedy whites and greedy plastic consumerism?”

All of the above, and Taylor Swift.

from a dental trivia webpage http://dtekcosmeticservice.tripod.com/id27.html:

“Mick Jagger had an emerald chip put in the middle of his upper right incisor, but people thought it was spinach. He changed it to a ruby until he got tired of people discussing the drop of blood on his tooth. Jagger finally settled on a diamond.”

I recall hearing about this in the 1970s.

Talentless attention whore. With any luck, he’ll be back working at the car wash alongside Mike Tyson within a couple of years.

It is REALLY GOING TO HURT when he gets mugged next time.

And now that the world knows what's in his mouth, I imagine that will be painfully soon.

$60,000 isn’t bad, considering one tooth extraction and implant can cost $6,000.

I had one of my lower teeth pulled and an implant put in. Cost was about 3K. It was painful. I can’t imagine just doing it for looks. I had it done because of some problems with my gums.
