About

BBL Drake, also known as Brazilian Butt Lift Drake, refers to rumors and memes about rapper Drake having Brazillian butt lift surgery in early 2021 and how it changed him, making him more effeminate and more of a "baddie," as evidenced by various photos and videos of him. In particular, a mirror selfie of Drake and an Instagram Boomerang of him crouching over with his hands on his hips are often the subject of such memes. The trend became notably popular on TikTok in August 2021.

Origin

BBL Effect

Around 2020, there was a TikTok joke about the "BBL Effect," which describes the changes, both physical and otherwise, that someone goes through after getting a Brazilian butt lift. The "effect" was usually depicted by pictures of the person wearing clothing that reveals their butt and acting with a newfound sense of self-importance (examples shown below, left and right).
