“I thought diamonds were cooler,” he told DeGeneres as the audience laughed. A close-up of Ye's dentistry in the clip appears to show that the rapper's teeth are still intact beneath the diamond and gold facade.
“I always cleaned my jewelry with toothpaste anyway until things worked,” he said with a laugh, adding that he has to go to the dentist “all the time just to maintain it.”
“I mean, it's just certain things rock stars are supposed to do, you know?” He said.
“Oh, I didn't realize that,” DeGeneres replied.
