Drake isn’t slowing down after his knee injury – and the gym selfies prove it. On January 12, the rapper, singer and actor posted a series of pictures and videos to his Instagram story showing him in the gym two and a half months after his knee surgery. In one of the videos, he even lifts weights while doing squats, which is pretty impressive considering the short time since his procedure.
In one of the photos, Drake captioned it, “10 weeks post-surgery, I’m working hard EVERY DAY to recover.” While Drake’s motivation is certainly impressive, some media outlets were quick to notice that his fans were more, er, focused on something other than his workout accomplishments. Let’s just say there was more to “highlight” in the photo than Drake’s biceps, which led to colorful (and greedy) comments from fans.
At the end of October 2019, Drake first posted a picture of his injured knee on Instagram. Although he hasn’t been shy about talking about his recovery, it’s still unclear how exactly he sustained the injury in the first place.
“I actually want to use this post to send love and motivation to everyone else who has been through so much in 2020,” he posted at the time, according to People. “Start writing the best comeback story now.”
Needless to say, Drake is a true inspiration for the gym, especially for those recovering from serious injuries, but at the very least, he’ll probably inspire you to break out your sweatpants more often.
