Renowned rapper Drake is once again in the limelight, this time addressing rumors about cosmetic procedures. Recently, speculations surrounding “plastic surgery abs” emerged after he posted a shirtless selfie, leading fans to question its authenticity. Drake candidly confronted these rumors, sharing insights into the realities of celebrity life and body image scrutiny.
Drake Dispels Plastic Surgery Rumors
Drake, known for hits like “Hotline Bling,” found himself at the center of plastic surgery abs rumors when an Instagram photo sparked discussion. On the Sept. 2 episode of Bobbi Althoff’s Not This Again podcast, he firmly denied undergoing abdominal etching, a procedure that enhances muscle definition by removing fat from the midriff. He responded simply, “No,” when the topic arose.
He acknowledged the prevalence of cosmetic enhancements, stating, “people go under the knife all the time,” but was clear that he hasn’t pursued such procedures himself.
Addressing the “BBL Drizzy” Moniker
The conversation also touched on another rumor—Drake allegedly having a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL). “People also say that I got a BBL,” the 38-year-old shared, humorously noting that fans have dubbed him “BBL Drizzy.” He seemed amused by the nickname, questioning if his appearance warranted such speculation.
Despite the rumors, Drake highlighted the photo manipulation that can lead to misconceptions. “I came from the gym, I was sweaty in that pic,” he explained. “Maybe I heightened the saturation or something on it.”
Photo Editing Confessions
While denying the plastic surgery abs rumors, Drake admitted to retouching the infamous photo, mentioning that he had used Facetune to alter its appearance. “I think I hit it too hard,” he remarked about the edited image, acknowledging that the adjustments may have exaggerated his physique.
The Grammy winner’s candid response provides a glimpse into the pressures of maintaining a public image in the spotlight. As fans continue to speculate, Drake remains forthright, addressing the realities behind his social media presence.
