Benzino is setting the record straight over comparisons to Drake after the rapper’s viral shirtless selfie stirred online chatter.
Benzino lashed out Tuesday (July 1) after being compared to Drake in a viral post that featured a side-by-side photo of both shirtless, accusing the blog of using a doctored image of him.
“The next time you post a pic of me comparing me to @drake make sure yall don’t use a photoshopped one off the internet,” he wrote on social media. “I got a bunch of dope gym pics on here you can use. Keep mind I’ll be 60 in 2 weeks so make it make sense you weirdos.”
The post came after Drake uploaded a shirtless selfie to Instagram, flaunting sharply defined abs that quickly drew scrutiny from users online. Some accused the Toronto rapper of having surgically enhanced abs, while others joked about the resemblance to Benzino’s physique.
The comparison didn’t sit well with the former Source magazine publisher, who regularly shares his fitness progress and gym routines on social media.
Benzino has been vocal about his dedication to staying fit and active. In a 2024 interview, he opened up about returning to the gym after a six-month break.
“These last few months I’ve been hitting the gym like I never had before,” he said. “It feels amazing. There’s nothing that these younger guys are doing that I can’t do, and that alone feels good.”
Benzino also credited Hip-Hop culture for helping him stay mentally and physically youthful.
“Hip-Hop has really kept us young at heart,” he said. “Without Hip-Hop, we probably would be a lot older than we portray to be.”
