Drake has finally put the speculation about his body to rest. Rumours of a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) and sculpted abs had been circulating for months. The rapper addressed the chatter with his signature wit on Bobbi Althoff’s podcast Not This Again, even jokingly calling himself “BBL Drizzy” before clarifying the truth.

The controversy started after a gym selfie from June 2025 showed Drake with a notably toned physique. He explained the photo was taken right after a workout and lightly enhanced with Facetune. He admitted he may have gone a bit overboard with the filter, creating a more defined look than in reality.

The discussion intensified when Megan Thee Stallion’s 2024 track HISS playfully teased Drake’s appearance. Other artists, including Metro Boomin, Future, and Kendrick Lamar, added their own lines to the chatter, keeping the conversation about his physique in the public eye.

Despite the flurry of commentary, Drake insists his body is completely natural. He used humour to underline that social media snapshots can be misleading. A touch of digital editing does not mean surgical alteration.

Ultimately, the message is clear: no surgery, no procedures, just Drake. “BBL Drizzy” remains a tongue-in-cheek nickname, and followers can breathe easy knowing the rapper’s look is entirely his own.

Italian fashion designer Giorgio Armani, one of the most influential figures in modern fashion, has died at the age of 91. The news was confirmed by his company on Thursday, stating he passed away “surrounded by his loved ones.”

In its official statement, the Armani Group said:

“With infinite sorrow, the Armani Group announces the passing of its creator, founder, and tireless driving force: Giorgio Armani.”

The announcement was first reported by France 24, which noted that Armani’s fashion house would set up a funeral chamber in Milan on Saturday and Sunday, followed by a private funeral at a later date.

Piacenza in 1934, Armani started out in medicine before moving into window dressing and eventually fashion design. In 1975, he co-founded his namesake label, selling his Volkswagen Beetle to raise the funds. What began as a small venture grew into one of the most powerful fashion empires in the world, spanning couture, ready-to-wear, perfumes, hotels, and interior design.

He was known for pioneering unstructured tailoring, a style that stripped away stiffness and redefined power dressing in the 1980s. Armani’s designs became synonymous with understated luxury, worn by Hollywood stars, business leaders, and royalty alike. By 2025, the Armani Group was generating an annual turnover of more than €2.3 billion ($2.7 billion), making it one of Italy’s most successful fashion houses.

Armani’s health had been declining in recent months. In June, he missed Milan Men’s Fashion Week—marking the first time in his decades-long career that he was absent from a catwalk show. His absence was widely seen as a sign of his struggles, given his reputation for personally overseeing every aspect of his business, from advertising campaigns to the final touches on a runway collection.

In Italy, Armani was affectionately known as Re Giorgio (King Giorgio). Unlike many designers who later stepped back from the spotlight, Armani remained at the heart of his company until the end. His eye for detail and insistence on perfection set him apart, shaping a brand that balanced creativity with strong business acumen.

The company confirmed that a funeral chamber will be open to the public in Milan over the weekend, allowing admirers and industry figures to pay their respects. A private family funeral will follow at a later date. Giorgio Armani leaves behind not just a global fashion empire, but also a legacy that reshaped how the world understands elegance, discipline, and Italian style.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have made their first public appearance as an engaged couple, attending a college football game at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City on Thursday evening. The Cincinnati Bearcats, Kelce’s alma mater, faced the Nebraska Cornhuskers, but the focus of the night inevitably drifted towards the pair in the stands.

Swift, 35, chose a cream cable-knit vest with a Balenciaga denim mini skirt and Louis Vuitton boots, adding a pastel-blue Celine handbag for contrast. Her engagement ring, an old mine brilliant-cut diamond created with jeweller Kindred Lubeck, drew particular attention as it caught the stadium lights.

Kelce, also 35, leaned into the occasion with Bearcats-themed gear layered over a striped Nike x Supreme shirt, a nod to his university years. The couple were joined by his brother Jason and by Patrick and Brittany Mahomes in an executive box, where the group watched the match in characteristically animated fashion.

The outing came only two days after their announcement on Instagram. The joint post, showing Kelce proposing in a flower-filled garden, carried the caption: “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married.” The light-hearted phrasing struck a chord with followers, and the images circulated widely within hours.

Reactions to their appearance at Arrowhead were equally swift. Fans celebrated their relaxed demeanour, though Nebraska’s athletics account briefly stirred controversy with a mocking post that was quickly deleted.

For Swift, still immersed in her Eras Tour, and Kelce, preparing for the start of a new NFL season, the evening offered a rare interlude. More than the ring or the fashion choices, what stood out was their ease with each other, a quiet confidence that suggested their engagement has already settled into something assured and natural.
