Big Sean Denies Ab Surgery and Steroid Rumors—Presents Throwback Proof
Here comes the shocker no one was waiting for: Detroit’s Big Sean is officially pleading his case that his rippling six-pack didn’t come courtesy of a scalpel or syringe. In TMZ’s July 9 exposé, the “Bounce Back” rapper responded to a nutrition influencer’s accusation that he’d juiced up his core with steroids—an allegation that’s been dogging him all over social media for years. Sean Don wasn’t about to let cheeky Instagram sleuths rewrite his fitness history, so he dropped a pre-smartphone-era photo of himself flexing a chiseled torso, insisting that Mother Nature did all the heavy lifting.
Sources like TMZ and HipHopDX note that this isn’t Big Sean’s first rodeo when it comes to surgical rumors. Internet judges have cast shade on fellow rappers—Drake included—yet Sean’s been hit hardest with whispers of medical magic. According to his Instagram story reposted by TMZ, the 36-year-old MC scoffed at the idea of “ab etching” and insisted he’s strictly on a regimen of calorie control and weighted crunches. He even quipped that if anyone’s looking for fancy hospital grade abs, they’d better schedule a surgery consultation—just not on his watch.
Meanwhile, some of Sean’s peers have taken a different route. Drake, for one, shrugged off the talk by dropping a shirtless selfie last week, but the Canadian superstar hasn’t thrown shade back at his critics. French Montana is seemingly in the same boat, letting the comment threads do the heavy lifting. On the older end of the spectrum, veteran rapper Benzino—who’s about to hit 60 and still racks up IG gym check-ins—laughed off comparisons, reminding everyone that hard work in the weight room doesn’t need hashtag receipts.
Big Sean emphasized to TMZ that he’s been sculpting his abs long before filters and FitTea cleanses existed, pointing to archived gym shots from over a decade ago. He doubled down on rejecting any claims of “ab etching” or cosmetic shortcuts, chalking up his enviable midsection to discipline and genetics. If you’re looking for a quick fix or secret supplements, you’ll have to look elsewhere—Sean says he’s sticking to protein shakes and crunches.
Love him or roll your eyes, this saga proves one thing: in the age of endless scrutiny, even muscle definition needs a PR team. So there you have it—another round in celebrity fitness denial, served with a side of vintage photo receipts. And that’s today’s dose of washboard reality. You’re welcome.
