The rapper paid a pretty penny to get the metal dentures that adhere to his teeth—but the internet thinks they just look like gum wrappers.

Ye just revealed his brand new $850,000 titanium dentures on social media, and people online all seemed to have the same thought.

The rapper showcased his new metal on his Instagram stories accompanied by a Google search screenshot of the James Bond villain Jaws, whose similar dental work appeared to be an inspiration.

The image of Ye's new look soon went viral, with some claiming that the fashion designer had his teeth removed and replaced with the new dentistry...

...but that is not the case.

Dentist Thomas Connelly, who worked with Ye on the procedure, confirmed to Complexthat the grills comprised of titanium, palladium, platinum and other precious metals were put in place through a procedure called fixed prosthodontics in which the dentures are fixed to his teeth.

Connelly assured:

"He did not have his teeth removed."
"He still has a full dentition. Healthy and happy."

Surprisingly, though, the possibility that Ye had his teeth removed wasn't the reason his photo went viral.

Instead, it was because the image immediately made people think of their childhood pastime of making homemade braces and grills with aluminum foil and gum wrappers.

Yep, "back in our day..." you could get two and a half sets of dentures for merely a quarter.

Or you could have gone with a classic Reynolds Wrap grill.

Either way, the jokes didn't quit.

Trump Bizarrely Clashes With Reporter Over Photoshopped 'Tattoo' On Abrego Garcia's Knuckles

President Donald Trump sparked criticism after claiming during an interview with ABC News’ Terry Moran that an edited photo depicting tattoos of wrongly-deported Maryland father Kilmar Abrego Garcia showed that he has an alleged connection to the MS-13 gang.

Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran national who arrived in the U.S. in 2012, was labeled a threat in 2019 due to an alleged connection to MS-13. He spent months in detention before an immigration judge found he had a credible fear of persecution—not from MS-13, but from a rival group, Barrio 18, which he said had been extorting his family.

Leavitt Lashes Out At Amazon Over 'Hostile' Plan To Display Added Tariff Costs For Products On Website

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt lashed out at Amazon over news that the commerce giant planned to display increased "import charges" on items on their Amazon Haul website, essentially showing to customers the extra money they'd have to shell out as a result of President Donald Trump's tariffs.

Trump has escalated a growing trade war by imposing tariffs of up to 145% on Chinese imports, prompting China to retaliate with its own 125% tariffs on American goods. Additionally, the U.S. has slapped a 10% tax on imports from most other countries, while temporarily suspending higher rates for several nations for 90 days.
