Watch: Drake Reveals Shocking Amount of Money He Lost on $125 Million Gambling Bets in One MonthDrake 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." readDrake Shares "Special Place" Where Son Adonis Was ConceivedDrake 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.
