According to Daily Mail, the grill's design draws inspiration from Ye's own $850,000 titanium teeth, commissioned in January. The bold industrial-style dental accessory has become a signature element of Ye's style over recent months. By incorporating it into the album art, Ye not only reinforced his reputation for pushing boundaries and challenging conventions, but has also set the tone for 'Bully's highly anticipated release.
Ye's forthcoming album boasts a striking cover photo shot by renowned Japanese photographer Daidō Moriyama. The much-talked-about image which went viral the moment Ye posted it on his Instagram handle features a mystery model with a partially black grill, sparking intrigue. The 86-year-old lensman's work, which added an edgy aesthetic to Ye's 11th studio album, has sent Ye fandom into a frenzy.
In light of his newest album cover, his titanium dentures remain a subject of intrigue for most Ye stans.

Ye's titanium teeth are a stunning example of his bold style. The custom-made teeth cost $850,000 and were designed with dental and medical experts. Made from titanium, palladium, and platinum, they drew inspiration from James Bond villain Jaws. The experimental dentistry procedure, known as fixed prosthodontics, did not require removing Ye's natural teeth.
The titanium teeth were manufactured and fitted by Dr. Thomas Connelly, a Beverly Hills and NYC-based dentist. This is not Ye's first dental makeover; in 2010, he revealed diamond and gold implants on his bottom row to Ellen DeGeneres. However, the new makeover has not really been a blessing. Ye's dentures had been recently cited as a new subject of disgust for his wife Bianca Censori resulting in internal disputes and divorce rumors.
