Memphis rapper Finesse2Tymes lost a diamond-encrusted tooth from his $250,000 grill while live on TikTok on Saturday, November 14. The moment unfolded as he was showing off his jewelry to viewers when a tooth suddenly popped out. “Damn, made my whole teeth come out,” he said during the livestream.
The rapper’s grill mishap did not stop there. As he continued to speak, the right side of the grill appeared to slip, prompting Finesse2Tymes to subtly adjust it on camera. The incident drew immediate attention from fans and social media users, who flooded The Shade Room’s Instagram comments with reactions ranging from disbelief to humor.
Finesse2Tymes bought the grill about two years ago from Johnny Dang, a celebrity jeweler known for crafting custom pieces for hip-hop artists. The rapper had revisited Dang’s shop in a livestream last month, showing off the pricey dental jewelry before the recent mishap. The $250,000 grill had appeared secure until the unexpected malfunction on Saturday.
Viewers were quick to react. Instagram user @4thyglo wrote, “Sometimes you gotta POP OUT & show,” while @lexijonesmua added, “Sounded like dropping dice.” Another user, @lovequeenstephc, referenced Finesse2Tymes’ own words with, “‘My whole teef’ .. while referring to one.” Others joked about the situation, with comments like “I ain’t never seen tendernism on no grill” and “Now I’m ain’t EVA seen No BONELESS GRILLZZZ.” One user, @allfacts6, said they would have deleted Instagram if it happened to them.
The rapper had previously spoken about his dental history during an Instagram Live session in June. He admitted he had not been consistent with brushing his teeth before getting veneers. “I ain’t know no better before I got my teeth fixed. I was a street n***a, fuck brushing my teeth…wanted some money,” he said.
Finesse2Tymes’ grill incident is reminiscent of a moment involving music executive Dame Dash in 2024. Dash’s diamond grills fell out during an Instagram Live, creating a viral moment that was later referenced by Jay-Z in a freestyle at Roots Picnic. Dash responded to the incident with humor, captioning an Instagram post, “that’s what happens when you’re broke.”
The mishap has reignited conversations about the durability and practicality of expensive grills in hip-hop culture. Finesse2Tymes’ $250,000 piece, crafted by Johnny Dang, is among the most costly dental jewelry in the scene, and the recent slip during a live broadcast served as a rare glimpse of the risks involved in flaunting such luxury.
This latest incident was the unexpected highlight of Finesse2Tymes’ TikTok Live on November 14, creating a viral moment that fans and critics alike won’t soon forget.
