The social media verdict is in for Kanye West's latest gambit - the rapper had $850K titanium dentures installed in his mouth - and the results are a blend of snark, mockery and confusion, Daily Mail writes.
As the outlet had earlier reported, the rapper's new denture set set him back $850,000, as a source said the dentures were 'more expensive than diamonds.'
A number of social media users said that West - who has past made headlines for his outrageous antics and repeated antisemitic statements - was seeking social media clout and attention with the nearly-million dollar investment, which is the result of a new surgical model.
With his new teeth the rapper compared himself to James Bond villain Jaws in an Instagram post.
'He’s running out of ideas to be controversial,' one user said of West.
A number of commenters said that West's latest actions were reflective of contemporary celebrity culture, in which attention can be a coveted commodity.
