Denying Cosmetic Surgery Rumors
During an appearance on Bobbi Althoff’s new podcast, ‘Not This Again,’ Drake addressed the speculation that he had undergone cosmetic surgery, specifically abdominal etching. “Maybe I, like, heightened the saturation. I think I hit it too hard. They don’t look like that,” he explained when asked about the procedure rumors.
The Canadian rapper also denied claims that he’s had a “Brazilian butt lift,” a rumor that led to the diss track “BBL Drizzy” by his rival Metro Boomin. “People also say that I got a (Brazilian butt lift), right? They call me BBL Drizzy,” Drake said on the podcast. “I don’t know if my like wagon looked crazy when I walked in here, but did it?” He suggested the photo might have been taken post-gym, with sweat enhancing the definition, and then further tweaked with Facetune.
