Drake, the renowned rapper, seems to be hitting more than just high notes in the news lately. Rumors are swirling faster than his rhymes about whether he underwent a nose job and Brazilian butt lift (BBL). As if that wasn’t enough drama for one artist, a rap feud with former pal Rick Ross is heating up – and it’s getting personal. Plastic surgeons are now weighing in on Drake’s alleged cosmetic enhancements, adding more fuel to the fire. With tensions rising and gossip spreading like wildfire, it’s a showdown between music, beauty, and beef.
Rumors about Drake’s cosmetic enhancements have sparked intense debates among fans and the media. Such gossip can significantly affect a celebrity’s reputation and self-esteem, emphasizing the need for responsible reporting in the entertainment industry.

Hip-hop star and former friend Rick Ross accused 37-year-old Drake — who is mixed race — of getting an ‘operation to make your nose smaller than your father nose’.
In a series of online posts antagonizing the Canadian rapper, Ross also claimed that Drake had surgery to remove fat and accentuate his abs — calling Drake ‘BBL Drizzy’.
While the nose job accusation is new, rumors that Drake — whose real name is Aubrey Graham — has had work done on his body have been circulating for years.
Dr Elie Levine, a plastic surgeon in New York City, said that if Drake had gotten a nose job, ‘it was done in a subtle way’.
‘It’s not like he has gone from looking like one person to a totally different person, but there is definitely more definition in the later photos,’ he added, claiming that lighting, camera angles or simple natural aging could all impact this.
Speaking to DailyMail.com, Dr Levine said: ‘Light can always affect these things and can make a difference.
‘But, if you really scrutinize it — there is a high likelihood that he did some nasal contouring [where part of the nose is shaven down or reshaped].
‘The tip looks better defined in the [more recent] photos, and it also looks a little more subtle and a little less obvious.
‘I would point to the bridge too, which looks slightly narrowed. If you are making subtle changes to one part of the nose, then you are almost always obligated to make subtle changes to other parts.’
Dr Raja Mohan, a plastic surgeon in Texas, said: ‘There is a high likelihood he had a rhinoplasty [nose job] because his tip looks smaller and his nasal bridge is narrower.’
But he said he could not be certain because ‘in the more recent photos, there is still a slight hump on the [bridge of the nose] and some tip fullness on the right… or asymmetries that I noted.’
Usually, during these procedures, any imperfections are rectified during the surgery.
The surgeons compared pictures of Drake from his childhood, as well as images from around 2009 — when he released his breakthrough mixtape ‘Best I Ever Had’ — to those from nearer the present day for their assessment.
Drake has denied the nose job rumors, and shared an alleged text conversation between himself and his mother where he says: ‘I would have got us a 2 for 1 deal if I went ma.’
From the rap feuds and plastic surgery rumors, it’s clear that the drama is as intense as a beat drop in a Drake track. From dissecting cosmetic procedures to analyzing social media frenzy, this saga has been more lit than a packed concert venue. Remember, in the realm of celeb gossip, things can get crazier than a Kanye Twitter rant!
