Kanye West Installs $850K Permanent Titanium Teeth And Films 40-Minute 'Apology' Video Ahead Of New Album With Ty Dolla $ign

Kanye West has been in the news this week as social media blew up with rumors that he had completely replaced his teeth with permanent titanium teeth. This has proved to be almost true. The controversial rapper and producer did not, in fact, remove his teeth. His human teeth remain. 

Instead, Ye had a structure made entirely of titanium permanently affixed to his jaw, covering his teeth. The procedure cost $850 thousand.

The Apology

Kanye more or less set his career on fire last year when he made a series of increasingly anti-Semitic comments, including a truly bizarre appearance alongside Alex Jones on his show, Info Wars. Most businesses associated with West dissolved their ties, leaving the rapper without a record label.

West attempted an apology last year, one many felt to be insincere and lacking given the severity of his statements. And now, according to TMZ, substantiated rumors are circulating that he has filmed a new apology video in which the rapper directly addresses the camera for roughly 40 minutes.

The Album Drop

The unreleased album ‘Vultures’ Ye produced with the artist Ty Dolla $ign got a new release date after being delayed twice. The album is expected to be released on February, 9th.

The question remains what label the album will be released under. West lost his deal with Universal Music Group UMG and Sony Music SONY.

Investing In The Music Industry

Whether Vultures will be released in conjunction with any major labels, investing in the music industry can be a smart move as part of a diversified approach.

The MUSQ Global Music Industry ETF MUSQ is a thematic ETF that provides concentrated exposure to the complete music ecosystem, covering streaming, content and distribution, live music events and ticketing, satellite and broadcast radio, equipment and technology, and artificial intelligence. It holds a 3.84% weighting of SONY and a 2.67% weighting of UMG.
