Drake just dropped a thirst trap—but fans are raising eyebrows instead of heart emojis.
In a recent Instagram post, the 6 God showed off his sculpted abs and bulked-up physique, flaunting what looked like a newly chiseled body to his 146M followers. But instead of being praised for a potential glow-up, speculation about plastic surgery quickly flooded social media.
📸 The Photo That Started It All
Dressed down and dripping confidence, Drake posted a shirtless pic flexing his torso with the cryptic caption:
“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.”
Almost instantly, fans zoomed in—literally—and started questioning whether those abs were the real deal. While some applauded his motivation and transformation, others weren’t buying it.
😳 “BBL Drizzy” Returns? Fans Troll the Rapper Online
It didn’t take long for X (formerly Twitter) users to light up the timeline with jokes, memes, and full-on trolling:
- “When you order abs in a kit on Temu but forget to add the arms to your cart.”
- “We really went from BBL Drizzy to fake abs Drizzy, smh…”
- “Did he glue those abs on?”
- “Drake out here looking like a Photoshop fail.”
One particularly savage user tweeted:
“Infinite resources, infinite free time, and you’re telling me he can’t just work out and achieve a respectable physique…. LMOOO.”
💉 The Plastic Surgery Rumors: Not a First for Drizzy
This isn’t Drake’s first rodeo with cosmetic surgery rumors.
Earlier this year, during his heated lyrical war with Kendrick Lamar, the Compton rapper took aim at Drake’s alleged surgical enhancements in his track “Euphoria”:
“Let your core audience stomach that/Then tell ’em where you get your abs from.”
Lamar’s diss only added fuel to the long-standing whispers that Drake underwent abdominal etching, a popular plastic surgery procedure where fat is sculpted to mimic six-pack abs.
🎭 The “BBL Drizzy” Saga: Where It All Began
The nickname “BBL Drizzy” originally caught fire when fellow rapper Rick Ross accused the Toronto star of getting a Brazilian butt lift (yes, seriously) and possibly a rhinoplasty. Ross’ shady allegations sparked the internet’s obsession with Drake’s alleged cosmetic journey.
Things escalated when producer Metro Boomin dropped the now-viral “BBL Drizzy” beat, and even launched a BBLDrizzyBeatGiveaway, encouraging fans to record their own diss tracks over the beat for a chance to win a free Metro-produced track.
Talk about turning rumors into culture.
🎙️ The Industry Reacts: “Drake’s Too Rich for This!”
Even those in the entertainment circle were stunned that Drake—who has access to top-tier fitness trainers, chefs, and state-of-the-art gyms—would even consider going under the knife.
“He’s got all the money in the world and a team that could train him into a Marvel superhero,” one fan wrote. “Why fake it?”
Others argue that image pressure in the spotlight is real, especially in an era where male celebs are increasingly under scrutiny for their looks.
🧃 Drake’s Silence Speaks Volumes
Despite all the accusations and name-dropping, Drake has never directly addressed the surgery rumors. Whether it’s the abs, the nose, or the BBL jabs—he’s remained tight-lipped, leaving fans and critics to fill in the blanks.
And let’s be honest: silence only adds more mystery and meme-fuel to the situation.
🔥 Is It All Strategic? Social Media Thinks So
Some fans believe the whole post—and its timing—was a strategic move to stir conversation ahead of a rumored project or livestream.
Let’s not forget: Drake is a marketing genius. The same week his abs broke the internet, he announced a joint livestream with Kai Cenat, set to air on June 12—the exact day Kendrick Lamar is performing in Toronto.
Coincidence? We doubt it.
👀 What’s Next for Drake?
Whether it’s real or airbrushed, Drake’s body reveal has become the latest pop culture obsession. His name continues to trend not just for music, but for memes, jabs, and drip checks—and that’s part of what makes him a headline machine.
But one thing’s for sure: he knows how to keep people talking.
💬 What Do You Think?
Do you think Drake’s abs are natural or “etched by a surgeon”?
Is “BBL Drizzy” just a meme—or is there some truth to it?
