Excuse me, there seems to be something in your teeth. Kanye West took to Instagram to share his new metallic dentures, that the Daily Mail says is worth roughly $850,000!

The rapper has gone metal. Now, there’s a rumor floating around that he actually had all of his teeth pulled in order to have them replaced with these shiny dentures.

Did Kanye West Get His Teeth Pulled For Titanium Dentures?

In his Instagram story, Kanye compares himself to James Bond villain Jaws. Jaws has a mouth full of metal in the movies when he appeared in “The Spy Who Loved Me” and “Moonraker.” He’s one of the most iconic Bond villains of all-time. It’s only fitting that Kanye would model himself off of Jaws.

Initially, there were reports by Daily Mail and rumors that Mr. West had his teeth removed in order to have the expensive set installed. However, Dr. Thomas Connelly, who reportedly did the work, denies those claims.

Dr. Connelly told Complex, “He did not have his teeth removed. He still has a full dentition. Healthy and happy.” Dr. Connelly shared pictures of Kanye’s model on his Instagram.

It’s definitely a unique look. I don’t think I could pull it off. Also, when did they start calling them “dentures?” The whole report keeps mentioning dentures. When I was younger, we called them grills. Are these different? Ah, man, I’m getting old. I looked it up, grills are removable and dental implants are permanent, per LibertyvilleDentist.com.

Often, for denture and veneer procedures they will remove or file down your teeth to little nubs before adding the sets. Additionally, this isn’t the first time Kanye West has been involved with rumors he removed his teeth for an updated set.

He previously claimed on “The Ellen Degeneres Show” that he had his bottom teeth taken out and replaced with diamonds, according to Page Six. At the time, he said diamonds were cooler. However, he went on to admit that he had to visit the dentist frequently to keep his teeth nice.

Sounds like someone might just like attention? Seems to fit his pattern of behavior.

5 Of The Most Questionable Fashion Trends Of 2023

Sometimes, fashion just doesn’t make sense. I don’t choose what’s popular, I just have to go along with it. These are 5 of the most questionable fashion trends of 2023.

We were introduced to some strange fashion trends in 2023. Some other fashion trends from the past also made a comeback this year.

The Most Questionable Fashion Trends Of 2023

I am not a fashionable person. Love me some sweatpants and hoodies. However, if these items are what’s in style, then I think I’m perfectly find not being fashionable.

Some strange clothing items became popular in 2023 for a number of different reasons. You can blame TikTok, you can blame Taylor Swift, you can even blame nostalgia. Again, just don’t blame me.

I’ve gone through some photos and videos and have identified 5 questionable fashion trends from 2023. To me, these stood out as the strangest. However, there were much more popular trends that didn’t make the list. It’s hard when you stick to only five!

Some of the popular trends that didn’t make the list this year include Tabi shoes, Y2K, ballet flats, jean maxi skirts, and more, according to Huffpost. Tabi shoes were very polarizing in 2023. They’re a split-toed shoe inspired by traditional Japanese work shoes from the 15th century.

It seems like Y2K is popular every year, and this year was no exception. We saw cargo pants, metallic colors, oversized shades, and platform shoes make a big comeback in 2023.

Also, ballet flats were flat out everywhere in 2023. There were tons of options and choices available to buy. You could get them bedazzled, with a bow, silk, suede, corduroy, anything you could possibly want! Seems like they could also pair well with most outfits. It’s like the shoe equivalent of the little black dress.

Well, those items didn’t make the list of the 5 most questionable fashion trends of 2023. Here’s what did make the list.

  • No-Pants Trend

    Going without pants was big in 2023. Sort of reminds me of the trend in the 90s that was pointed out in Seinfeld where women were going without a shirt, only wearing their bra. I prefer to go out with my pants on.

  • Opera Gloves

    Opera gloves were a major fashion choice for celebrities on the red carpet this year. Thankfully, it’s just a red carpet thing and people didn’t start wearing long opera gloves to work. That would be a strange choice. However, for a formal event they look pretty good. Something sleek and sexy about them. Or is that just me?

  • Micro Bags

    You probably saw a few micro bags this year. Perhaps you even own one. I’m not judging. Everything is getting smaller, and that includes purses, evidently. The days of giant bags are behind us…until they come creeping back.

  • Fringe

    Thanks to celebrities like Harry Styles, fringe was huge this year. You had the funky futuristic fringe and the traditional western fringe in fashion. I don’t think I could pull it off, but it would be fun to have those dangling sleeves.

  • Friendship Bracelets

    Friendship bracelets were massive in 2023, and all fingers go towards Taylor Swift for that one. People bought them by the dozen for her concerts and movie. Even I have one. What am I doing??

Cort Freeman was born and raised in Metro Detroit. He was named Clarkston High School 2009 Class Clown 13 years after graduating. Totally normal thing to happen. That’s thanks to his time spent as an Intern at Comedy Central and Social Media Correspondent for The Colbert Report. Cort has done comedy across the country, both standing up and sitting down. When he’s not trying to make you laugh on-air and online, he’s probably at home enjoying his favorite shows like Seinfeld, South Park, and The Office. He’s also totally uncomfortable writing about himself in the third person. Cort enjoys writing about comedy, food, sports, and entertainment. So, basically anything and everything.
