    Big Sean has dismissed speculation he has "fake" abs

    The 37-year-old rapper was the subject of a video from fitness influencer Blake Sanburg - who posts under the handle @thenutritionnarc - in which his physique was analysed to determine if he has undergone surgery to boost his body


    In Blake's video, which featured several photos and clips of Sean, he noted the Mercy hitmaker has "extremely defined abs" that appear to be "sitting on top of a bubble gut."

    He also referenced a photo of the rapper from 10 years ago and ultimately concluded that Sean had either received ab etching or taken steroids, though also felt he has "very interesting genetics."

    Sean then responded directly to the video in order to deny the claim.

    He wrote: "Bro, unfortunately mine are real lol. 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.

    "I just happen to look like a chewed up tootsie roll when I'm outta shape lol.

    "But i can only speak for myself. I only have to say something cause this s--- is getting way outta hand [cry laughing emoji] (sic)"

    He then later added two more comments, "So just to be clear" and "No nothing."

    In a follow-up video, Blake revealed Sean had also messaged him directly and shared a photo of what he'd written.

    The rapper had messaged: "I commented on your video, this s*** is funny cause thats the way i was made. i just gained Dad weight n had to crack down on working out as i got older bro.

    "So my body has gone thru a lot lol. No surgery though. Cant believe i have to explain myself.(sic)"

    Sean recently spoke of how he coped after his partner Jhene Aiko - with whom he has two-year-old son Noah - suffered a miscarriage.

    He told the On Purpose with Jay Shetty podcast: "To anyone who does experience such an insufferable loss: Go through it, express yourself, deal with that grief, but don't let it consume you.

    "You may get blessed with a child later on. You may get blessed with a child that comes into your life a different way."
