Nigerian artists Who Wear Gold And Diamond Mouth Grills
Nigerian artists are known for their luxurious lifestyles and flashy pieces of jewellery which range from their neck pieces to wristwatches and Mouth grills.
Grills, a type of dental jewellery worn on the teeth, have become more of a culture to many hip-hop artists, with many now seeing it as the current fashion trend.
Grills, often known as gold teeth or fronts, are prosthetic metal caps that are fashioned to replace a tooth’s visible structure or the complete tooth.
In the early 2000s, renowned American performers Lil Wayne, Nelly, Beyonce, Ludacris, Madonna, Birdman, 2Chains, and others are credited with popularising this distinct fashion craze.
However, many Nigerian musicians appear to have developed a love for this design trend in recent years as several of them are reported to have lavishly spent a significant sum of money to purchase one.
