Drake denied rumors that he underwent an abdominal etching procedure to make his six-pack abs look more toned.
Drake started from the bottom, now he's setting the record straight.
The "Hotline Bling" rapper shut down speculation that he underwent abdominal etching—a cosmetic procedure in which fat is sucked out from the midriff area to created more sculpted muscles—after a shirtless selfie raised eyebrows.
"No," he told Bobbi Althoff on the Sept. 2 episode of her Not This Again podcast, after she brought up that "people think you got a procedure done."
While Drake acknowledged that people go under the knife "all the time," he insisted that he's not one of them.
"People also say that I got a BBL," the 38-year-old noted, referencing the popular Brazilian Butt Lift procedure. "They call me 'BBL Drizzy.'"
He continued, "I don't know if my wagon looked crazy when I walked in here."
However, Drake admitted that the photo itself did get some work done on Facetune.
"I came from the gym, I was sweaty in that pic," he explained. "Maybe I heightened the saturation or something on it."
The Grammy winner added, "I think I hit it too hard. They don't look like that."
Drake first faced plastic surgery rumors in 2024, when Metro Boomin released a diss tracked titled "BBL Drizzy" amid the Degrassi alum's feud with Kendrick Lamar. Speculation started swirling again in June after Drake posted a photo of his abs.
But that's not to say his six-pack is completely fake. In fact, Drake said that both he and his 7-year-old sonAdonis, who he shares with painter Sophie Brussaux, love to work out in the gym.
"He has an eight-pack, it's crazy," Drake told Bobbi. "He's just way more locked in than like I ever was or ever will be."
Skeptical of the claim, Bobbi jokingly replied, "So he doesn't have to Photoshop his body like you?"
