Plies has said goodbye to his signature gold teeth. In a hilarious Instagram video shared on Thursday (Jan. 14), the Florida rapper held a small ceremony for the gold caps and buried them in his backyard.
“It’s a very sad day today, y’all, it’s a very sad day,” he began, as somber music played in the background. “We’re all gathered here today to bury my gold teeth. I finally did it, man. Finally took my old gold teeth out, y’all.”
Placing the container with his teeth on the ground, Plies doubled up the hilarity by bringing out a spoon to dig a shallow grave.
