Drake addresses plastic surgery rumors after BBL, ‘fake’ abs accusations
Drake is addressing trust issues caused by his six-pack abs.
“People think you got…[a] procedure done,” podcaster Bobbi Althoff asked the “Passionfruit” rapper on Tuesday’s episode of her new “Not This Again” podcast — referring to rumors he had an “ab” procedure called abdominal etching. “Did you do that?”
“No. People also say that I got a BBL, right?” the 38-year-old rapper said, referring to the Brazilian butt lift procedure. “They call me BBL Drizzy.”
“I don’t know if my like wagon looked crazy when I walked in here, but did it?” he asked.
Althoff, 28, continued grilling the artist on where the rumors might have come from, as both lounged on a pillow-covered bed.
“I think it was just like I came from the gym,” he explained of a recent photo displaying dramatic six-pack abs — a snap that reignited cosmetic surgery rumors in June. “I was sweaty in that pic.”
The rapper also admitted to enhancing the image.
“Maybe I like went on Facetune and, like, put, like, details up, you know? When you can like make it,” he divulged, adding, “Sorry, just being honest!’
A disbelieving Althoff sought to confirm the rapper retouched the photo of his glistening abs.
“Yeah, I was, like, maybe I, like, heightened the, like, saturation or something on it,” he explained. “I think I like hit it too hard. I hit it too hard.”
“Yeah, they don’t look like that,” he confessed.
In June, the “One Dance” hitmaker was roasted after flexing his glistening abs in a post-workout photo. The mirror selfie — taken from behind a stocked bar — was shared along with a brief video clip of himself jogging shirtless down a park path.
“I’m wide awake for the nights that separate the type who get to it til they get it right from the type who just …type,” the Grammy-winning artist captioned the June 28 post.
Fans immediately roasted Drake. “Ordered abs from temu n forgot to add shoulders n [triceps] lol,” one follower wrote, while another chimed in, “the abs do not match the body.”
“Arm definition surgery is next month?” a third quipped.
Plastic surgery Instagram account @surgeonmade_curves added fuel to the fire by reposting the photo, alleging in the caption that Drake, 38, “did it again.” The account claimed the Canadian rapper is “no stranger to the surgery table.”
“This man be too hype to show them abs/body and gives it away every single time,” they wrote at the time.
