The nickname originated last year during Drake’s feud with Rick Ross, who first coined “BBL Drizzy.” Producer Metro Boomin later doubled down with his diss track of the same name, sampling a parody version that went viral.
Drake brushed it off, pointing to a shirtless photo he posted in June after a run. He admitted he may have hit the Facetune app a little too hard:
“Maybe I heightened the saturation or something… They don’t look like that. You saw them.”
He then teased Althoff, saying she had already asked to see his abs: “She asked me to see them, and I showed her.”
The back-and-forth added to the flirty energy between Drake and Althoff, whose first viral interview with him in 2023 had fans speculating about their chemistry. This new sit-down kicks off Althoff’s return to podcasting after retiring The Really Good Podcast last year.
Whether fans believe his explanations or not, Drake seems unfazed — proving he can turn even “BBL Drizzy” jokes into must-see content.
