Lil Wayne’s Dental Woes
Last week we speculated that Lil Wayne was getting oral surgery before heading to prison in order to remove the diamonds from his teeth. Turns out, Wayne went in for more painful surgery that has nothing to do with his precious stones. The man had to endure eight (yes, EIGHT) root canals yesterday to correct several tooth implants and add a few more new ones.
The procedure, which lasted eight hours, might have sounded like an easy way to postpone his jail time and get an extra three weeks of freedom, but now that we know the details it seems less vacation-y and more nightmarish. What we really want to know though is did the diamonds cause all this tooth decay, or are they there to hide a pre-existing condition? It’s truly like a chicken-and-egg question for our times.
