Big Sean Fires Back At “Fake Abs” Claims Amid Drake Comparisons

Big Sean is shutting down steroid speculation and defending his physique after a viral post questioned whether his abs were the result of surgery or supplements.

The Detroit rapper found himself at the center of an online debate this week after wellness influencer Blake Sanburg floated the idea that Big Sean’s chiseled stomach might be enhanced by either steroids or abdominal etching. The post quickly gained traction, prompting Sean to jump into the comments and clear the air.

“Bro, unfortunately mine are real lol,” he wrote. “I got love for the fake an community tho, to each its own, but what makes this funnier is this is the way God made me. I just happen to look like a chewed up tootsie roll when im outta shape lol. But i can only speak for myself. I only have to say something cause this sh*t is getting way outta hand.”

The conversation escalated when another user compared his abs to Drake, who was recently the subject of similar rumors. Big Sean responded by distancing himself from any assumptions about others in the industry.

“’Im only speaking for myself, iont know what others do but thats just how my stomach is naturally,” he added. “I cant believe i have to even say this, but i guess its where we are as a society. Cooked.”

The chatter comes just weeks after a side-by-side image of Drake and Benzino made the rounds online, with users pointing out facial similarities. Benzino quickly dismissed the comparison, claiming the image was doctored. “Keep in mind I’ll be 60 in 2 weeks so make it make sense you weirdos,” he wrote.

While the internet debates his abs, Big Sean has been focused on music. His latest studio album, Better Me Than You, dropped in 2024 with features from Bryson Tiller, Cash Cobain, Charlie Wilson, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Gunna, Ellie Goulding, Eryn Allen Kane, Kodak Black, Larry June, Syd, Teyana Taylor and Thundercat, among others.

The Big Sean Into the Wild Tour 2025 kicked off July 8 in Denver at the historic Red Rocks Amphitheater with special guests Russ and Sabrina Claudio. It continues in Chicago on Thursday (July 10). Find the rest of the tour dates below.
