62. I used to have this look too - when I wore braces during the 80's. LOL! Except I suspect just one of his teeth would have paid for my entire orthodontic treatment.

63. Don't get me wrong I don't like the look of grills, especially when they are permanent because your teeth are basically being destroyed. But on the other hand, we are not the ones who started a multi million dollar empire with only 5,000 or gained commercial mega sucess by selling records out of our trunks. Therefore it is not our money nor is it our job to monitor or judge what one does with their own fortune. As for the comments that he should have donated to charity,Why? is he not allowed to buy anything for himself? he does and he did a lot to help rebuild his city, it is not his fault that his charity efforts are not tracked and aired on every station, no celebrity's efforts are-unless you are Brad and Angelina. He earned the money so he should be able to enjoy some of it, does he have to donate it all to charity? To us many of the things that celebrities spend mone on such as multiple cars, houses, and designer clothes may seem ridiculous, but if you were on that level and you had homes, cars and all of your basic necessities including financial security, 500,00 would not be a big deal to you either because you would make 10x that in one year!

64. Baby has the right to spend HIS money the way HE wants.

65. Not to throw the race card but DAMN! America hates to see young bBack men with money. You guys continue to call him dumb, ignorant, and even Monkey and Orangatan. He can't be that dumb because he is listed in Forbes Magazine as one of the richest people in America after 40. To all the IDIOTS who are to IGNORANT to know about him, he is worth approximately $450-$500 so I doubt his grandkids grandchildren will go broke.

People don't call out corporate America when people go out and buy $500,000 lake houses for "vacation" when their relatives live in trailer homes.

My point is this is America, a FREE MARKET ECONOMY! There is no ceiling on an earning potential and you can spend your earning on whatever you want.

STOP HATING!

66. the sh*t looks bad but stop complaining about what a grown man does with his money. If you dont like it dont look. white people are the ones the bought the grill for him by buying their music. True there is a lot of other things he could have done with his money but look at all the money the U.S f**ks off on foreign aid and pork barrel spending. They could use OUR tax dollars better.

68. For those of you that say he should be donating the money he used on the teeth... obviously don't know how charitable Baby and Cash Money has been to their hometown...

Alot of Katrina survivors now have homes because of this man.

69. Is this frickin judgement day or what? lol These types of message boards to bash Whitney, DMX, or whomever the flavor of the day is are hilarious! Its very funny seeing the judgemental/negative side of people come out. Nutty! Here's 3 vital words.....ITS HIS MONEY!

And yes, my grandmama and uncles who are so we got it from our ancestors just put a new age spin on it. I guess there's something wrong with that.

Now whether or not he's making charitible "contributions" with his money or time in N.O. is another story. If not, thats his decision. If he is, thats his decision. In this case, he obviously is not answering to anyone but himself and that wont change till the air in his bubble os gone.

70. I just pray that his childrens college funds are put away.
That he has good investments.
That his home is paid for And the IRS won't be after his a$$ in three years.

Oher than that I'm just shacking my head....

Meanwhile the dentist is probably saying..."This a$$ won't have any teeth in about 5 years. He'll be back for implants when the bone of his teeth rots away"

just my .05 cents

73. Personally what Baby chooses to do with his money is his prerogative. I feel that if you work hard for your money and noone has ever gave you anything, then you have the right to pamper yourself in whatever you decide as long as your not hurting anyone. Spend more time trying to elevate yourself and being a better person leave the judging to the man upstairs.

74. In reading the comments, I can safely assume that the [negative] comments are posted by whites that are jelous of Baby's fame. The key factor in all of this is that it is HIS money. That means he may do with it whatever he damn well pleases and doesn't have to answer to you or anyone else for that matter. Also, you say He's "dumb" and has "no talent"....well obviously he's doing something right if he can afford this kind of Grill. Not to mention, maybe he has donated to charity. And speaking of "a little bit of attention", he's more recognized than you'll ever be. Get a life you ignorant f**kin Klansman!
