They say diamonds are a girl's best friend but Kanye West has proved that they can be a rapper's best friend too.
We've seen people with gold teeth, silver teeth, tricked out grillz and beyond. Now, Kanye West seems to have topped them all by having diamond-encrusted choppers.
Kanye West told Vanity Fair that he's had his bottom teeth permanently drilled and encrusted with diamonds.
"I just like diamond teeth and I didn't feel like having to take them out all the time," West Said.
When Ellen asked if he just put diamonds on top of his teeth, he responded, "No. It's, like, replaced my bottom row of teeth."
"I just thought that diamonds were cooler," he told the presenter. "I guess there's just certain things that rockstars are supposed to do."
The news is less disturbing knowing that West severely damaged his bottom teeth in a car crash in 2002, but one dentist, Dr. Timothy Chase, told "Since diamonds are harder than your teeth, you will wind up breaking or wearing down your other teeth, causing you to need more dental work."
A row of sparkling, bling-encrusted teeth like those Kanye West is sporting could cost upwards of $60,000, depending upon the quality of the stones
Is it just a rock star thing, or did Kanye go too far yet again?
