Post Malone, an American rapper singer, implanted two 6-carat diamond fangs in his canine teeth in June 2021. The 12-carat implant has reportedly cost Malone around $ 1.6 million. The two diamond fangs are framed into natural porcelain veneers to give the rapper a multi-million dollar smile â literally!
Malone was inspired by his dentist, Dr. Connellyâs diamond embedding work, which he had done for other celebrities. So, during one of his visits, Malone asked Dr. Connelly if he could implant a tooth made of diamond instead of just diamond embedding.
It took Dr. Connelly almost one and a half years to figure out how to create a diamond tooth, followed by a couple of months to insert the implants. Connelly sourced diamonds from Belgium and got them cut in Israel.
Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar Cephus, who goes by the stage name of “Cardi B,” is an American rapper. The singer, who is often seen rocking unusual styles, got her lip pierced in 2019 for a mere $25. Cardi B reportedly walked into Luis Vegaâs tattoo shop, City of Angels Tattoos in Los Angeles, and asked for a lip piercing. More interestingly, Lui, the owner, did not even know that Cardi B was a popular celebrity. Although Luis thought Cardi B looked familiar, he could not recognize her until Cardi B told him that she was from New York. Cardi B also got new piercings during 2020, which included a new labret lip piercing and a couple of chest piercings.

Renato de Santa is perhaps the most bizarre-looking rapper who ripped the flesh off his cheeks in 2021 to adorn a âdemon smile.â The smile being termed the âGlasgow Smile,â was created using a scalpel. Renatoâs smile is inspired by Kuchisake-Onna, a Japanese legend whose mouth is split from ear to ear.
Apart from so many tattoos all over his body and face, he also has several implants under the skin. He installed these implants to get horns at different parts of the body. Renato also tattooed his eyeballs to give them a pitch-black color. He has the number â666â carved into his head, got a flesh-tunnel piercing, and also got a split tongue. All of these extreme modifications give Renato a distinctive look, which, as of today, has cost him more than $10,000.
