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.

Make us preferred on Google

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 Complex that 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 Blasted After Warning Gas Stations To Drop Prices 'Immediately' In Threatening Social Media Rant

President Donald Trump was criticized after telling gas retailers that they need to lower their prices to $2.50 per gallon "immediately" or face "big problems," prompting many critics to suggest he is panicking as discontent toward his administration grows amid fallout over the Iran war and a nationwide affordability crisis.

A recent Gallup poll found that 55 percent of respondents felt their finances were worsening, a level of pessimism exceeding that seen during both the COVID-19 pandemic and the 2008 financial crisis. This comes as the highly unpopular war in Iran continues to rage, sending gas prices surging. Americans have spent an additional $59 billion on fuel since Trump launched the war.

MAGA Is Having A 'DEI' Meltdown Over A Mixed Race Character In 'Toy Story 5'—And Fans Are Having None Of It

For a franchise about a toy cowboy, a delusional space ranger, and a potato with removable facial features, Toy Story has never been particularly concerned with strict realism. Yet somehow, a mixed-race child with curly hair in Toy Story 5 is what sent parts of MAGA into full meltdown mode.

In the latest installment of Pixar's beloved franchise, audiences are introduced to Blaze Manoukian, a young girl who lives on a farm, loves animals, and becomes an important part of Bonnie's story. Blaze is also Disney's first half-Black, half-Armenian character.

Last Week Tonight host John Oliver mocked Fox News host Jesse Watters for sharing unverified video of alleged "vandals" of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool and claiming that liberal media would claim that the people who were seen reaching into the pool "dropped their wedding ring."

The renovation of the Reflecting Pool has become a debacle, marked by recurring algae blooms, workers resorting to pouring hydrogen peroxide into the water to combat the problem, and a political blame game in which some Republicans have attempted to pin responsibility for the mess on Democrats.

Pete Buttigieg Opens Up About 'Darkest Hours' After Being Separated From His Kids Due To False Abuse Allegations

Former Democratic President Joe Biden's Secretary of Transportation, Pete Buttigieg, posted on Friday about the ordeal he, his husband Chasten Glezman Buttigieg, and their 4-year-old twins endured after someone targeted them with false abuse accusations.

Buttigieg described the attack as similar to a swatting, a dangerous form of criminal harassment/domestic terrorism in which a perpetrator makes a false report of a dangerous emergency to law enforcement in the hopes that SWAT or a similar heavily armed tactical unit will attack the home. Multiple people have died as a direct result of swatting incidents.
