On Wednesday, Kanye West (46) made headlines for replacing his teeth with titanium. The rapper published a photo on Instagram in which he was seen with a kind of titanium bit instead of teeth. He also posted a screenshot of the James Bond villain Biter (played by Richard Kiel), who is known for his metal teeth. What seems absurd to one person is used by another as a role model: his daughter North West (10), of all people, is now appearing online with some diamond-studded teeth.
On her and mother Kim Kardashian’s (43) shared TikTok channel, several photos were shared showing North with her friends. In one of the pictures, she uses her fingers to push her upper and lower lips to the side to show off her diamond-encrusted teeth. Kardashian obviously writes: “The things my daughter does on my phone.” She put a skeptical looking emoji behind it. “She looks like a star,” added the proud mother.
The apple doesn’t seem to fall far from the tree. Back in 2010, Kanye West claimed to have replaced his entire lower row of teeth with diamonds. In an interview with presenter Ellen DeGeneres (65), he proudly presented his new teeth. “I just thought diamonds were cooler,” he explained. “There are no grills?” DeGeneres asked. “They’re actually my real teeth. I replaced my bottom row,” West replied.
Meanwhile, an insider revealed to the “Washington Post” that the “Stronger” interpreter still has his normal teeth: “The technical term is fixed prosthetics. They are strong and permanent. It goes beyond veneers or grills. Something like that has been done never done.” This would be “experimental dentistry”.
