At 46 years of age, Ye has achieved massive clout and influence over the years. Remarkably, while the rapper has gained a fair deal of the media over his musical career, his controversial remarks and unpredictably beyond-the-rules muses have more often than not landed him in a hot soup. Despite any judgments, the ‘Donda’ singer marched ahead and in 2024, went out to replace his teeth with a set of titanium dentures. However, a popular fan theory regarding Kanye West opting for a BBL or Brazilian Butt Lift has reignited.

A look at Ye’s history during the times of the pandemic may hold some clues on the likely suspicion.

Kanye West BBL rumors stem back from the Donda era

In August 2021, Ye dropped his tenth studio album ‘Donda’ amid much fanfare. However, while the album soon started to climb up the charts, a personal crisis within the rapper’s life reared its ugly head. Following rumors of Kim Kardashian dating Pete Davidson, the rapper had gone incognito for months until he reappeared fresh with an apparently bulkier outlook. A set of images captured the changes, which soon started a frenzy of questions, including whether Kanye West received a BBL.

A visibly buff body with a fuller butt adorned the rapper. In the past, the ‘Flashing Lights’ singer had famously disclosed his liposuction surgery. Thus, his straying a bit further to get a BBL did not come as a shock to fans. However, Kanye West never confirmed rumors of him going through the knife. Additionally, his appearance kept evolving during his social media hiatus while in Japan and, as of 2024, has transformed even further with no hints of a BBL.

Regardless, what West did confirm was his new teeth, which came at a price.

Ye’s new titanium grille did not come cheap

On January 17, 2024, Kanye West took to his Instagram and showcased his new set of titanium dentures. Further details soon followed with confirmation that the custom grille would now adorn him permanently. However, the shocker came when an estimated tag of a whopping $850,000 stood attached to Ye’s new teeth. Inspired by the James Bond villain, Jaws, the procedure had him remove his entire set of natural teeth.

Remarkably, the titanium grille did not come as the first-ever experiment that West had with his jaws. In 2010, Ye went and removed his bottom row of teeth only to replace them with gold and diamond studded permanent fixtures. While opting for such procedures did raise concerns among the fandom about his oral health, it appears that he should have taken a look at it for good reason.
