Drake Says Viral Six-Pack Photo Was Over-Edited, Denies Ab Surgery

He told Bobbi Althoff’s podcast the June selfie followed a workout with edits that overstated his physique.

Overview

  • During a September 2 appearance on Not This Again with Bobbi Althoff, Drake acknowledged using Facetune and boosting saturation on the shirtless image.
  • He said he "hit it too hard" with the edits and added that "they don't look like that" when referring to how his abs appear in real life.
  • Drake denied undergoing abdominal etching or any cosmetic procedure, though he noted such surgery exists.
  • He joked about long-running chatter that he got a Brazilian Butt Lift, saying people call him "BBL Drizzy," before downplaying any dramatic change in his body.
  • Coverage places his comments within broader social-media scrutiny of rappers’ physiques, noting Big Sean’s July denial of ab surgery and prior references in a 2024 diss track by Metro Boomin.
