Big Sean Insists His ‘Tootsie Roll' Torso Is Self-Made After Being Dragged Into Arguments Over Aubrey's Allegedly Altered Abs
The internet has been buzzing over Drake's physique for years now, which was only heightened when Kendrick Lamar referenced his allegedly fake abs on his 'Euphoria' diss track last year. A picture the Toronto rapper posted earlier this month brought that chatter back to the forefront, and for some reason, fans decided to drag Big Sean and his muscles into the mix.
Fitness influencer @thenutritionnarc posted a video to social media analyzing the rapper's body, attempting to answer whether the Detroit native has undergone surgery to enhance his body.
In his video, the influencer posted several photos and clips of the rapper's torso, saying Sean has 'extremely defined abs' that seem to be 'sitting on top of a bubble gut.' In the end, he ultimately decided that Big Sean had likely received ab etching or had taken steroids, before adding that the rapper has 'very interesting genetics.'
After the influencer's video began to make the rounds, Big Sean replied directly in the comment section, denying claims of ab altering and laughing off the allegations.
'Bro, unfortunately mine are real lol,' the rapper 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 went on to joke that when he's out of shape, he 'just happen[s] to look like a chewed up tootsie roll.'
'But i can only speak for myself,' Sean continued. 'I only have to say something cause this s**t is getting way outta hand 😂.'
He then added another two comments: 'So just to be clear' and 'No nothing.'
In a follow-up video, the influencer revealed that Big Sean had also sent him a message directly, sharing a photo of the DM.
'I commented on your video, this s**t is funny cause thats the way i was made,' Sean wrote, adding, 'i just gained Dad weight n had to crack down on working out as i got older bro.'
He continued, 'So my body has gone thru a lot lol. No surgery though. Cant believe i have to explain myself.'

American Eagle Responds to Backlash Over Sydney Sweeney Campaign: 'It Was Always About the Jeans'
American Eagle has responded after its latest denim campaign with actress Sydney Sweeney was greeted with an online backlash. The brand issued a statement on August 1 following backlash that the campaign slogan 'Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans' was a tone-deaf and offensive pun, one which some said was advocating for eugenics. The ad, which debuted on July 23, features the Euphoria and Anyone But You star modeling American Eagle denim as she is accompanied by her German shepherd, Sully Bear. In one of the campaign clips that has been widely shared, Sweeney says, 'Eyes up here,' as the camera pans across her body, with viewers questioning the intent of the commercial's sexual tone and marketing strategy. But it was not just the racy photos that created a buzz. Offense was taken at the headline 'Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans,' which was seen as an objectionable allusion to Sweeney's physical characteristics, such as her blonde hair, blue eyes, and white race, because of the homophone of 'jeans' and 'genes.' Critics took it a step further when some on social media linked the campaign to a legacy of beauty standards long predicated on exclusionary ideas. One since-removed version of the ad even called out Sweeney's blue eyes, fueling further speculation that the campaign was using retro, racially charged aesthetics. Some went as far as to say it was reminiscent of Nazi propaganda, with some accusing the brand of aping eugenics language for the sake of catchy wordplay. In an statement published on Instagram, American Eagle denied those claims: ''Sydney Sweeney has great jeans' is and always was about the jeans. Her jeans. Her story. We'll continue to celebrate how everyone wears their AE jeans with confidence, their way. Great jeans look good on everyone.' The company emphasized that the campaign's focus was denim and individuality, not genetics or appearances. However, there is still controversy over the tone and audience of the advertisement. Critics argued that the campaign was for the male gaze, despite being designed to sell women's clothing. An Instagram commenter wrote under AE's post, 'This was not the move AE, we needed and wanted something DIFFERENT as women.' The scandal has even touched the political arena. On July 29, Steven Cheung, Director of Communications at the White House, had this to say on X (formerly Twitter), 'Cancel culture run amok,' suggesting that the outrage over the advert might be overboard. As for Sydney Sweeney herself, the 27-year-old actress has remained largely removed from the drama. Aside from posting one image from the campaign on her Instagram grid, Sweeney has continued to post casual content featuring her dogs and snippets from her daily life, seemingly bypassing the media storm. While not the inaugural fashion brand to be rebuked for sexy denim ads, this does bring to mind past controversies, such as the 1980 Calvin Klein campaign starring a then-15-year-old Brooke Shields. The campaign included the line, 'You want to know what comes between me and my Calvins? Nothing.' Shields later told Vogue she was 'naive' to the ad's implications, although she did acknowledge its lasting cultural relevance. 'The controversy backfired,' Shields said in the 2021 interview. 'The campaign was really successful, and then the underwear overtook the jeans.' It remains to be seen if American Eagle's latest marketing mishap will have the same destiny or enjoy the same lifespan. In the meantime, the brand insists that it's standing by its campaign and standing by Sweeney.

From Martha to Diddy, Trial Sketch Artist Draws History Live From the Courtroom
It was in the final moment of Sean 'Diddy' Combs' marathon federal trial when Elizabeth Williams found her eyes locked with the rap mogul for the first time. The career sketch artist had followed his movements in the courtroom, sometimes using binoculars to capture him. She was mirroring his expression of absolute shock that moment on July 2, when he learned he was being denied bail and sent back to one of New York's most notorious lockups. The two sat there in the federal courtroom, flabbergasted, their gazes locked on each other. Normally, Williams would start with the head. But this time, Combs' eyes, and the pure shock they revealed, were first to the canvas.'I saw this face,' she told The Hollywood Reporter, pointing to a sketch, from her tight midtown Manhattan studio space in what used to be an upstairs nail salon. 'He was so shocked. I've drawn his face so much so it was easy to get it. He was relatively close to me. I couldn't believe it. I don't think he could either.'She has been sketching since 1980, toggling between fashion illustration and criminal courtrooms. But as strange days have hit the worlds of news and couture, her subject matter has veered away from runway struts and toward the legal drama unfolding in federal and criminal courts. More from The Hollywood Reporter Ghislaine Maxwell Moved to Lower-Security Texas Prison Where She'll Be Housed With Two Famous Inmates Sean "Diddy" Combs' Lawyers Now Seeking Acquittal on Guilty Verdicts, Months Ahead of His Sentencing Sean 'Diddy' Combs' Attorneys File Motion for His Release From Brooklyn Lockup Williams digs out stacks of sketches, showing her renderings of some of the most definitive legal moments of the past few decades. There's Martha Stewart, surrounded by bodyguards ('All these older men that Martha wanted to be around'). There's one from the Pizza Connection mafia case. A livid Stormy Daniels being cross-examined by Michael Avenatti, Ghislaine Maxwell leaning in with her attorney, Luigi Mangione's sneakers and Donald Trump's accordion hands all appear in the array of bold sketches of these cases most tense moments. 'My go-to materials? A brush pen with two sides. A big orange crayon, high-end, oil-based. A water brush,' she explains, then detailing the coastal stylistic divide of her craft. 'I work with line, not pastel. That's a West Coast thing. East Coasters do portraiture with pastels. I build structure from line. Line is truth.' But it wasn't her memorable rendering of that shared moment of locked-eyed shock with Diddy that made the cover of the Daily News and NewDay. Williams sketched the moment that the mogul dropped to his knees to thank the Lord after he beat the bulk of the feds' charges. She describes the scene surrounding the verdict as 'drawing a person falling out of a window.' For Williams, the work of a sketch artist is about transmitting the mood in the room in these moments. All of the drama should come through. 'I want people to see it like I saw it. I want them to get a sense of being there,' she says. In a sketch of Cassie Ventura walking past Combs after testifying — his former partner, turned 'victim 1' and a key witness for the prosecution — Williams managed to convey the emotional rupture between the two. 'They were like ships in the night. Ten years of intimacy, and now they might as well be on different planets,' she said. Over the decades she's been at it, the job of a sketch artist has shrunk and shifted along with the news media. Gone are the days of her mentors and first years cutting her teeth jetting around with fancy meals and expense accounts. Nowadays, she knows she has a day's work ahead if the phone rings in the morning. She admits that it is slowly becoming increasingly untenable. She is now one of only a few sketch artists covering the courts nationwide — when cameras are barred from the courtroom, they provide out only visual clues to what's unfolding. 'It doesn't pay well. It doesn't have regular hours. The news business has changed. We used to get flown all over — NBC, CBS, ABC had the budgets,' she said. 'Now? It's social media. Dilution.' Nevertheless, Williams has the temperament of a seasoned pro who wouldn't trade her front row seat to several of modern history's key moments for anything. And she's committed to documenting history in real time, one trial at a time. 'Individuals must be as pictured. You can't make stuff up. That's how I was taught,' she says. 'I want people to see it like I saw it. I want them to get a sense of being there.'
