Kanye West has once again made headlines with a bold and unexpected move - this time by reportedly replacing all his teeth with titanium dentures.

In an Instagram Story shared on Wednesday (January 17), the 46-year-old rapper and fashion icon - who has become known for his eccentric looks - proudly displayed his unique smile.

But rather than showing off a set of pearly whites, it instead looks like Ye has drawn inspiration from the iconic James Bond villain, Jaws.

Yes, as reportedly by the Daily Mail, West has had his teeth removed and replaced with lavish titanium dentures.

Costing a rumored $850,000, these dentures were exclusively designed by the rapper himself and are said to be "more expensive than diamonds."

The dental procedure - which is unique to the 'Famous' rapper - was carried out by Dr. Thomas Connelly in Beverly Hills, with assistance from Naoki Hayashi, Master Dental Technician. Dr. Connelly expressed his admiration for working with West, telling the Mail: "Ye was a pleasure to work with every step of the process.

"His vision for designing unique art transcends the dental progression. The marriage of his vision with dental science has created a new look that is epic."

West even acknowledged the fact that he now resembles Bond villain Jaws by sharing a Google search of the character to his Story.

This isn't the first time Kanye West has made headlines for his dental choices. Back in 2010, he revealed sparkling diamond and gold implants on the Ellen DeGeneres show, claiming they had replaced his entire bottom row of teeth. When asked about it, West explained: "I just thought that diamonds were cooler" - and insisted that he asked the dentist to remove his original bottom row of teeth and replace them with the dazzling implants.

While some may have doubted the authenticity of his previous claims, it's clear that Ye is committed to his unique sense of style, even when it comes to his dental hygiene.

Earlier this month, West made headlines after he celebrated his wife Bianca Censori's 29th birthday in Las Vegas.

The couple have become known for their attention-grabbing fashion choices, and this celebration was no different. Bianca was seen wearing a daring outfit, including a tiny bikini top and no shoes, as she blew out the candles on her birthday cake at Wynn's Encore Beach Club at Night.

Kanye West took to Instagram to share a heartfelt birthday tribute to his wife, praising her as a "super bad iconic muse" and an "inspirational talented artist." He expressed his deep love and gratitude for her unwavering support throughout their relationship.

The 'Famous' rapper has recently transformed his Instagram feed into somewhat of a fan page for his wife - a University of Melbourne graduate - sharing a number of photos of her most infamous outfits over the summer - including Bianca's eye-catching "cushion" look.

Kanye would even caption the post: "Yall know who ran the summer". In reality, the couple's behavior in Italy actually landed them in hot water.

In September last year, the couple faced backlash for their behavior aboard a Venice boat, prompting Venezia Turismo Motoscafi - the boat company involved - to issue a statement announcing their exclusion from future excursions.
