American rapper Kanye West caused a stir when he spent $850,000 on titanium-coated teeth inspired by a character in the 007 movie series.

The 46-year-old rapper shocked everyone when he shared a new photo of himself on social media. He decided to cover his teeth with titanium. The strange image of Kanye West immediately attracted attention and comments. It is estimated that this dental covering cost around 850,000 USD (equivalent to 21 billion VND).

Kanye West shared with netizens that he was inspired to get his teeth capped by the appearance of the villain Jaws in the James Bond film series . This character also had metal-covered teeth and appeared in two films, The Spy Who Loved Me (1977) and Moonraker (1979).

Rapper Kanye West is one of the most successful artists in the American music industry. He is also a popular fashion designer , and has been invited by famous fashion brands to collaborate on joint collections.

Kanye West is also one of the world’s best-selling artists, with over 20 million albums and 140 million singles sold worldwide. He has won 22 Grammy Awards and is one of the most awarded artists in the music industry.

Time magazine included him in the list of 100 most influential people in the world in 2005 and 2015. In April 2020, Kanye West was included in the list of billionaires by Forbes magazine , at that time, Kanye West’s assets were determined at 1.3 billion USD.

However, Kanye West was not satisfied, he thought Forbes magazine had miscalculated: “My assets are not only 1.3 billion USD, but 3.3 billion USD, surely no one at Forbes knows how to calculate”.

As of June 2023, Forbes estimates that Kanye West’s net worth is now only around $400 million. The reason for this sharp decline is that Kanye West has become a controversial figure in American showbiz. He has had many valuable contracts with famous brands canceled at the same time.

As a rapper, music producer, businessman, and fashion designer, Kanye West is a major influence on hip-hop, pop music, and American popular culture in the 21st century.

But in his personal life, Kanye West suffers from bipolar disorder, which is one of the reasons for Kanye West’s eccentric actions and controversial statements.

Reality TV star Kim Kardashian – Kanye West’s ex-wife – once shared that while she was still married to the rapper, she felt “helpless”.

Kim once said: “Those close to Kanye know that his words often do not reflect his true desires and intentions. Kanye often receives a lot of criticism because he is a public figure, and his statements and actions are often controversial.

He is talented but complicated. He is an artist, but also a human being with personal problems. His bipolar disorder puts even more pressure on him.”
