Big Sean Shuts Down Steroid Rumors, Addresses Abs Controversy in Hip Hop
Enet
Big Sean responded to rumors spreading online about his body after social media accusations claimed he used steroids because of his six-pack abs.
The Detroit rapper spoke out against claims made by a nutritionist influencer who argued that Sean’s toned abs were caused by performance-enhancing drugs. This rumor quickly gained attention on social media, adding to the cycle of similar gossip circulating in hip hop circles lately.
Sean dismissed these claims, saying he did not rely on any kind of "medical magic" to get his physique. He shared older photos of himself from before social media's rise to prove he was already in good shape long before these rumors appeared.
He isn’t the only rapper facing this kind of scrutiny. Last week, Drake posted a shirtless selfie, sparking quick questions about whether his abs are real. While Drake has not yet responded publicly, fans and critics quickly doubted if his muscles were natural.
Meanwhile, Benzino, who is almost 60, doesn’t mind being compared to younger stars like Drake. In a recent interview, Benzino stressed that his muscles come from hard work, not from enhancements. He said he stays consistent in the gym, working out "all week long."
