Big Sean is addressing the claims that he had work done on his abs. 

The rumors began to circulate after the rapper showed his stomach in a promo video for his Complex Shop collection. His toned abs quickly led fans to speculate that they were not real. Months after hearing the whispers that he purchased his abs, Big Sean is finally setting the record straight. 

Fitness influencer Blake Sanberg went on Instagram to also share his thoughts on the rappers abs. He said that Big Sean has “extremely defined abs that appear to be sitting on top of a bubble gut.” He went on to compare to his physique from 2015 to current time and said that the photos could have edited. Sanberg also assumed that Big Sean had gotten ab etching or had taken steroids. 

“Bro, unfortunately mine are real lol,” Sean wrote. “I got love for the fake ab community tho, to each its own, but what makes this funnier is this is the way God made me.” He also joked that he looked like a “chewed up tootsie roll.” 

“But I can only speak for myself. I only have to say something cause this s**t is getting way outta hand,” he added. “So just to be clear.”
