The US rapper, who is legally known as Ye, posted a picture of his new teeth on Instagram, comparing himself to James Bond villain, Jaws, from Moonraker and The Spy Who Loved Me.

His new teeth cost 'more than diamonds', as they were designed by Ye himself, MailOnline reports.

Dr Thomas Connelly, from Beverly Hills, told the publication: "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!"
