Drake’s perfectly carved abs are once again under fire.
The 38-year-old rapper is facing fierce scrutiny after posting a shirtless mirror selfie on Instagram, flaunting what he called a “glistening six-pack” while posing behind a bar. In the same update, he also shared a video clip jogging shirtless down a tree-lined path, prompting fans to ask one question: are those abs even real?
Internet explodes over ‘suspicious’ six-pack
Social media wasted no time dissecting the image. Many followers claimed his upper body looked mismatched, with chiseled abs sharply contrasting with less-defined arms and chest.
One user mocked Drake by writing that he must have “ordered abs from Temu and forgot the shoulders.” Another said the rapper only ran “to the surgeon,” while someone else jabbed, “Arms and chest sold separately.”
Even more bluntly, a follower wrote that the “abs do not match the body.” The comment section quickly transformed into a roasting arena, with hundreds piling on and questioning the authenticity of the transformation.
Plastic surgery watchdog adds fuel to the fire
Instagram account @surgeonmade_curves, known for exposing celebrity enhancements, shared the same image and claimed Drake “did it again.” The account alleged that despite his fitness posts, the Canadian artist remains a frequent visitor to the surgery table.
According to their caption, Drake consistently overshares his body, unintentionally giving away signs of surgical work. The page did not hold back, labeling him as someone who “be too hype to show them abs,” which only makes it easier for critics to spot inconsistencies.
Not Drake’s first cosmetic surgery controversy
This isn’t the first time the rapper has been tangled in plastic surgery rumors. In 2022, fellow rapper Rick Ross publicly dubbed him “BBL Drizzy,” suggesting that Drake underwent a Brazilian butt lift. While that jab started as a diss, it added to mounting speculation that Drake’s physique is not purely gym-built.
Now, fans are resurfacing that nickname with a new twist, calling him “Six-Pack Daddy” — but not as a compliment.
Further heating things up, the “Hotline Bling” rapper was recently photographed in Australia wearing a T-shirt with a downward-pointing arrow and the message “Wait till u see my.” The shirt paired with yellow shorts and blue cowboy boots caused another wave of chatter over his recent attention-seeking tactics.
As Instagram reels fill with side-by-side comparisons of Drake’s current and past body shots, many fans are now wondering if the truth about his abs is permanently under wraps — or ready to leak.
