Rapper Kanye West has added the ultimate accessory to his rock star life, diamond teeth.
The Stronger hitmaker replaced the bottom row of his teeth with diamonds, because he thought they were “cooler”.
The rapper showed off the sparkling diamond and gold implants during an appearance on the Ellen DeGeneres Show.
“I just thought that diamonds were cooler.It’s really my real teeth. I replaced my bottom row of teeth. I guess there’s just certain things that rock stars are supposed to do,” he told the host.
His earlier claims to have replaced his teeth were met by scepticism, with fans doubting that even he would do such a thing. But it seems they may have underestimated the controversial star.
The rapper said that his whole world “completely crashed” because of the backlash received after the incident and he left US to sort himself out.
“I left America. I stopped doing music altogether,” he said.

Mr C of Happy Days dies at 83
Los Angeles: For more than a decade viewers could turn on their TVs and find Howard Cunningham in his armchair, reading the newspaper and providing a fatherly voice of reason to young Richie Cunningham and his friends on Happy Days.
Tom Bosley made the role famous during the long-running sitcom, earning a place as one of the most memorable fathers in TV history. Bosley died Tuesday at the age of 83 after suffering heart failure at a hospital near his Palm Springs home. Bosley’s agent, Sheryl Abrams, said he was also battling lung cancer. His death brought fond remembrances of the nostalgic ABC show which ran from 1974 to 1984.
