Drake is no stranger to breaking the internet, and his latest shirtless selfie has done just that—but not without controversy.

The Toronto rapper posted a sun-drenched snap showing off his ripped abs, and while some fans were impressed, others weren’t buying it. The photo quickly sparked rumors that Drake’s toned torso may be the result of cosmetic surgery, not just gym hours.

Online commenters wasted no time. “Where did he get those abs from?” one follower joked, while another accused him of getting a “tummy tuck in Colombia.” The whispers echo previous rumors from 2019, when Drake shared another beach photo that prompted fans to suggest he’d had abdominal etching or liposuction. Back then, he shut it down with a playful but firm clapback.

This time, the speculation returned with even more force. Social media erupted with memes and references to weight-loss drugs like Ozempic, and some even compared his look to reality TV mishaps, dubbing it “Botched: Toronto Edition.”

Drake hasn’t responded directly to the most recent round of rumors, but his track record suggests he’s likely to brush it off. When DJ Carnage made a similar accusation years ago, Drake fired back with a tongue-in-cheek response, proving he can take a joke—and give one back.

The debate touches on a broader issue in celebrity culture: whether it’s fair to scrutinize bodies under a microscope, especially when image is a big part of the brand. Whether Drake’s abs are gym-earned or surgeon-sculpted, the conversation reveals just how invested fans have become in every detail of a star’s appearance.

For now, Drake’s staying silent—letting the abs (and the selfie likes) do the talking.
