Drake's New Shirtless Selfie Leads To More BBL Jokes and Tummy Tuck Allegations
Source: Cole Burston / Getty The rap beef between Drake and Kendrick Lamar has had two very different effects on their immediate career trajectories. Kendrick dropped a new album in GNX , performed at the Super Bowl, and won five Grammys. But Drake just can't seem to shake an onslaught of criticism that only heightens with each social media post. His latest perceived misstep is a shirtless selfie he posted to Instagram showing off his abs in the mirror. The impromptu selfie covers his face and appears to have been taken near his bar, as a bunch of bottles of whiskey and tequila are shown on his shelves. Other photos in the carousel show him embracing the Texas lifestyle, like jogging on his property, a pair of sneaker-infused cowboy boots, and a rainy shot of his four-wheeler. In his usual move, the caption is some throwaway lyrics, which read, ' 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.' Drake showing off his gym gains is something he's done before, but since the beef reignited, unfounded allegations that he underwent liposuction or a tummy tuck are back making the rounds. Social media comments were hardly in his favor, with one writing, 'The untoned arms, but the super defined abs, Drake. I know what you are.' 'Drake fake abs look like the precut cookie dough squares omg,' another chimed in. Another claimed he could have just locked in for real results, adding, 'Access to the best trainers and healthiest food in the world, but chose to go to a plastic surgeon for fake abs. What a b-tch.' Kendrick even alluded to it on 'Euphoria' when he rapped , 'Let your core audience stomach that, Then tell'em where you get your abs from.' That even launched its side quest during the beef when MetroBoomin released the soulfully sampled 'BBL Drizzy' beat that Rick Ross instigated and created a $10,000 prize for whoever dropped the best freestyle over the beat. In an attempt to switch the narrative, Drake stole the beat for Sexy Redd's 'U My Everything,' reclaiming the nickname because he pays for so many BBL surgeries. Still, the jokes wear on.

Drake's Abs Are Getting Flamed On Social Media, X Says BBL Drizzy Can Never Beat The 'Ab Etching'Allegations
Source: Getty Images / Drake Drake tried to get the ladies hot and bothered on social media with a thirst trap, but instead, social media is reminding him he's not beating the plastic surgery allegations. BBL Drizzy, oops, we mean Drake, has owned the weekend thanks to news of his forthcoming album Iceman, which his biggest fan, Mal, of the Rory and Mal podcast, will have a 'bomb' on it. The Canadian Hip-Hop star is also getting clowned for his thirst trap showcasing his abs, which many believe is the product of 'ab etching,' which is described as 'a liposuction procedure that claims to sculpt and enhance the appearance of your waistline and create six-pack abs,' per Healthline . In the caption for the Instagram post, which features several other photos, the rapper wrote, '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.' Rigghhhhttt. Well, the post seems to be backfiring spectacularly, with many folks pointing out that the rest of Drake's figure doesn't match the abs. 'Drake fake abs look like the precut cookie dough squares omg,' one person on X, formerly Twitter, wrote. Another user on X wrote, ' Access to the best trainers and healthiest food in the world, but chose to go to a plastic surgeon for fake abs . What a bitch @Drake.' Lol, damn. Well, as long as he is fine with the alleged 'ab etching,' that's all that matters, right? You can see more reactions in the gallery below.

Is the Duolingo owl death connected to the Drake and Kendrick Lamar beef?
Drake and the Duolingo Owl might be at odds with one another. If you're unfamiliar with Duolingo, it's a lovely tool that teaches you how to speak different languages.
