Drake Addresses Fake Abs Rumors & Fires Back at Rick Ross in Bobbi Althoff Interview

Drake and Bobbi Althoff are back together, and this time nothing was off the table. The Grammy-winning rapper sat down with the internet personality for the premiere episode of her new podcast, Not This Again, an 80-minute conversation filled with humor, confessions, and subtle digs.

The sit-down marked a full-circle moment for the pair, whose first interview in 2023 on Althoff’s Really Good Podcast went viral before being deleted following a personal fallout. Drake admitted during the new episode that the situation stemmed from a “tiff” that made him pull the original interview. “You made me feel like our interview was the reason your life was bad,” Drake told Althoff. “So I just said I’m gonna get rid of the interview and you won’t ever have to see it again.”

Shutting Down Fake Abs Rumors

One of the buzziest moments came when Althoff pressed Drake about long-running fan speculation that his six-pack abs were surgically enhanced. The rumors resurfaced after Drake posted a shirtless Instagram selfie earlier this year, prompting Metro Boomin’s viral “BBL Drizzy” diss.

Drake didn’t hesitate to set the record straight. “No,” he said bluntly when asked if he’d ever had cosmetic surgery. “I think it was just like I came from the gym. I was sweaty in that pic. Maybe I heightened the saturation. I hit it too hard.”

While admitting he may have edited the photo, the Toronto rapper laughed off the idea of surgical help, insisting his abs were the real deal.

A Shot at Rick Ross

The interview also touched on Drake’s ongoing tensions with Rick Ross, another artist who has traded lyrical shots with him. When Bobbi Althoff brought up Rick Ross, Drake took the opportunity to deliver a sharp jab that seemed to fly over her head. “You’ve never seen someone ice Rosé? Well, talk to every jeweler in Miami that has fake diamonds,” he quipped.

The comment sparked laughs online, with fans pointing out Drake’s knack for sliding subliminal disses into casual conversation.

More Revelations

Beyond the headline-making moments, Drake reflected on his nine-hour arrest in Sweden, the unexpected impact of his first interview with Bobbi Althoff on rappers engaging with streamers, and even his fascination with WWE star Rhea Ripley.

The reunion proved to be as entertaining and awkwardly charming as fans hoped, with Drake once again showing his ability to balance vulnerability with sharp-tongued humor. For Bobbi Althoff, the podcast relaunch with Drake signals a major comeback — and a continuation of their unlikely chemistry that keeps audiences hooked.

With denials, disses, and Drake being Drake, this interview is already shaping up to be one of the most talked-about podcast episodes of 2025.
