Drake, who rose from humble beginnings, is now making history in his own right. Amidst buzz sparked by a shirtless snapshot that raised eyebrows, the "Hotline Bling" crooner put an end to whispers that he underwent abdominal etching—a plastic surgery procedure designed to sculpt muscles by suctioning out fat from the midsection. "No," he categorically denied to Bobbi Althoff during the September 2nd episode of her "Not This Again" podcast, after she mentioned that "folks are convinced you had work done."
Acknowledging that individuals frequently opt for surgical enhancements, Drake steadfastly maintained that he did not belong to that bracket. "People also claim I've had a BBL," he noted, referring to the trendy Brazilian Butt Lift, adding humorously, "They even call me 'BBL Drizzy.'" He playfully pondered, "I wonder if I arrived looking like I'd just stepped out of a fitness magazine cover shoot."
However, Drake conceded that the snapshot in question did undergo some tweaking on Facetune. "I'd just come from the gym, dripping wet in that pic," he clarified. "Maybe I adjusted the saturation or something. I think I overdid it a bit; they don't usually look that way."
Rumors of plastic surgery first surrounded Drake in 2024 when Metro Boomin released a diss track titled "BBL Drizzy" amidst his feud with Kendrick Lamar. Speculation resurfaced in June after Drake posted a picture showcasing his abs.
Yet, this doesn't imply his six-pack is entirely illusory. In fact, Drake revealed that both he and his seven-year-old son, Adonis, whom he shares with painter Sophie Brussaux, share a passion for gym workouts. "He's got an eight-pack; it's insane," Drake boasted to Bobbi. "He's more dedicated than I ever was or will be." Bobbi, clearly amused by the claim, quipped back, "So, he doesn't need to Photoshop his abs like you do?"
