Big Sean is laughing off rumors that his muscles are fake after he was inexplicably dragged into conversations about Drake’s sketch recording.
The internet has been buzzing about Drake’s physique for years, which only intensified when Kendrick Lamar referenced his supposed abs in his track “Euphoria” last year. A photo the Toronto rapper posted earlier this month brought this conversation back to the forefront, and for some reason, fans decided to drag Big Sean and his muscles into the mix.
Fitness Influencer @TheNutritionNarc posted a video to social media analyzing the rapper’s body, attempting to answer whether the Detroit native has undergone surgery to enhance his physique.
In his video, he posted several photos and clips of the rapper’s torso, saying that Sean has “extremely defined abs” that look like he’s “sitting on top of a bubblegum.” In the end, he ultimately decided that Big Sean had likely received the AB tape or taken steroids, before adding that the rapper has “very interesting genetics.”
After the influencer’s video began making the rounds, Big Sean responded directly in the comments section, denying the claims of altering and laughing off the allegations.
“Bro, unfortunately mine is real lol,” the rapper wrote. “I got love for the fake [ab] Community Tho, to each their own, but what makes this funnier is this is how God made me.”
He went on to joke that when he’s out of shape, he “just happen[s] to look like a chewed-up Tootsie Roll.”
“But I can only speak for myself,” Sean continued. “I just have to say something because this is getting out of hand 😂.”
He then added two other comments: “So just to be clear” and “no nothing.”
In a follow-up video, the influencer revealed that Big Sean had also messaged him directly, sharing a photo of the DM.
“I commented on your video, that’s funny because that’s how I was made,” Sean wrote, adding, “I just gained the dad weight and suppressed the muscle as I got older bro.”
He continued: “So my body has been through a lot lol. No surgery. Can’t believe I have to explain myself.”
