Just in time for summer, Drake is heating things up both in the gym and on the charts.
On June 14, the Certified Lover Boy rapper set social media ablaze after sharing a jaw-dropping shirtless gym selfie on his Instagram Story. Rocking an all-black Nike workout fit with crisp white sneakers, the 6 God showed off his newly toned, muscular physique—reminding fans that his reign isn’t just lyrical, it’s physical too.
???? “Drake got the summer bod and the hits,” one fan commented on a repost of the viral pic.
???? “He’s in his gym era and his diamond era,” another joked on Twitter.
And they’re not wrong.
Drake Makes Music History with 10 Diamond Singles
While fans were thirsting over his fit figure, Drake was also making Billboard history—again.
Just a few weeks before the gym selfie surfaced, the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) officially crowned Drake as the first artist in history to earn 10 Diamond-certified singles. That’s over 10 million units sold for each track—an elite milestone even legends rarely reach.
“Drake has the most RIAA Diamond Certifications of any artist, ever,” the organization posted, alongside a graphic showcasing all 10 plaques.
Here’s the full list of Drake’s Diamond bangers:
- “God’s Plan”
- “Hotline Bling”
- “One Dance”
- “Life Is Good” (ft. Future)
- “No Guidance” (ft. Chris Brown)
- “Love Me” (ft. Lil Wayne)
- “SICKO MODE” (with Travis Scott)
- “Hold On, We’re Going Home”
- “Best I Ever Had”
- “Forever” (with Kanye West, Lil Wayne & Eminem)
With his 10th Diamond record, Drake leapfrogged over Post Malone and Garth Brooks, both tied at nine.
“This puts Drizzy in a league of his own,” one industry insider noted.
And it doesn’t stop there—his fan-favorite anthem “Nice for What” is already 9x Platinum and closing in fast.
From the Gym to the Aisle: Drake’s Weekend Moments
While the gym photo got the lion’s share of attention, Drake’s Instagram Story also featured a more sentimental moment: a wedding.
In a later slide, the Toronto superstar was seen attending a friend’s ceremony, standing next to a framed photo of the couple and simply captioning it, “Congratulations.” It was a rare, more low-key appearance from the rapper, who typically keeps personal moments off the timeline unless there’s a deeper meaning or milestone to celebrate.
???? Nike Love Runs Deep
Fans also noted that Drake’s gym ensemble was head-to-toe Nike, continuing his long-running partnership with the iconic brand. The collaboration dates back to 2013 and has evolved into a multi-dimensional relationship, including his NOCTA line, a streetwear-inspired collection blending lifestyle, performance, and culture.
Drake’s fashion game, like his music, is always on point—and it’s no surprise his summer glow-up is generating buzz across both fitness and hip-hop circles.
Drake’s Message to Critics: Bet on Me
Beyond fitness and fashion, Drake has also been clapping back at critics—especially those targeting his public passion for sports gambling.
In a recent post, Drake addressed backlash from fans and industry voices over his frequent betting, especially on UFC and NBA games. His response? Winning. And lots of it.
“I gamble because I can, and I win more than you think,” he said during a livestream, brushing off the criticism with his signature bravado.
The 6 God Era Continues
Whether it’s through music milestones, fitness goals, or simply showing love to friends, Drake is clearly entering a new chapter—and it’s looking like his most dominant yet.
With more music likely on the way, a near-future 11th Diamond plaque, and a body that’s got fans doing double-takes, Drizzy is proving that he’s not slowing down anytime soon.
???? “From the gym to the Grammys—Drake does it all.”
