The podcast host and content creator went viral in 2023 when Drizzy appeared on her show, <em>The Really Good Podcast<\/em>, setting off a spree of other rapper interviews \u2014 including Lil Yachty, YG, and Offset \u2014 as well as often sexist speculation about how she was able to attain such high-profile guests. Althoff\u2019s first interview with Drake was famously taken down a few weeks after going live, only adding fuel to online chatter about the 28-year-old podcaster. Both would go on to unfollow each other on Instagram, the universal sign that <em>something<\/em> had rifted between the two. Last week, Althoff shared a teaser for her new podcast, <em>Not This Again,<\/em> featuring the two looking like old friends reunited.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tThe interview is the latest move from Drake that suggests he\u2019s far more interested in the world of YouTubers, streamers, and content creators than traditional journalists. It\u2019s a shift that is likely a savvy read of the current generation\u2019s viewing habits, though possibly more fodder for his detractors who say he doesn\u2019t belong in hip-hop culture. Overall, it\u2019s a pleasant enough watch. Here\u2019s everything we learned from Drake\u2019s appearance on Bobbi Althoff\u2019s new podcast, <em>Not This Again. <\/em><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"DRAKE: &quot;I&#039;m Sorry&quot; | NOT THIS AGAIN\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/xfqk15Ml4_E?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<h3 id=\"on-drake-s-culture-vulture-allegations\" class=\"heading larva \/\/      \">\n\t\tOn Drake\u2019s First Podcast Appearance With Althoff Being Taken Down\t<\/h3>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tAfter a rather long preamble in which the two basically shoot the shit, goofing off about nothing, Althoff reins the conversation in. \u201cUh, let\u2019s talk about us,\u201d she asks. \u201cWhy you hated me.\u201d <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\t\u201cI never hated you, Bobbi. I think that I took a lot of the weight and blame at that time when you needed to get a little active on somebody,\u201d Drake replied. \u201cIt\u2019s just like when you describe the after effects of something that we\u2019ve done that I feel is a positive and is incredible. Sometimes I can\u2019t see it from your perspective.\u201d <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tAfter the initial episode of her podcast featuring Drake was released, Althoff shot into notoriety, booking high-profile guests each week. At the same time, her marriage to her husband, with whom she has two children, was unraveling, fueling even more fervent online speculation about the nature of her and Drake\u2019s relationship.<\/p>\n<section class=\"brands-most-popular \/\/ editors-pick-module lrv-u-margin-tb-2 lrv-u-border-a-2 u-box-shadow-5-5 lrv-u-padding-lr-1 a-span1 u-padding-b-1@tablet u-overflow-hidden\">\n<h2 id=\"section-heading\" class=\"c-heading larva  lrv-u-text-align-center u-border-color-black a-font-theme-primary-xxs lrv-u-color-black lrv-u-text-transform-uppercase u-letter-spacing-0063 lrv-u-padding-t-050 u-padding-b-0375@tablet lrv-u-padding-b-050@mobile-max lrv-u-border-b-2\">\n<p>\t\tEditor\u2019s picks<\/p>\n<\/h2>\n<\/section>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\t\u201cI think I let a lot of those comments influence me when that interview happened, to be like, \u2018Oh maybe this was the end of my life.\u2019 But actually it was single-handedly probably the best thing to ever happen to me and my kids,\u201d Althoff said. \u201cI read a quote, and this is the last serious thing I\u2019ll say, but \u2018two happy homes are better than one unhappy home.\u2019 And I stand by that because my parents stayed together in an unhappy home until I was 16, and I was always like, \u2018Get a divorce,\u2019 right?

It has changed a lot of things, like on TikTok. It changed a lot of things, like in the streaming world, it made people more comfortable to go sit down with somebody that they\u2019ve never sat down with before,\u201d he said. \u201cNot to take like overly take credit, but when I do see somebody like a Nicki Minaj go to Kai Cenat\u2019s house, or I see these <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/music\/music-features\/plaqueboymax-twitch-stream-rap-interview-1235315388\/\">musicians go to Plaqueboy Max\u2019s studio<\/a> and start making songs with him. I feel like we did usher in the idea that the goal is not to be some unattainable dickhead for your whole life, you know, and only sit with Zane Lowe while he asks you the most curated and formal questions. No disrespect to him, you know, but I think we did something that was special.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"on-drake-spending-nine-hours-in-jail-in-sweden\" class=\"heading larva \/\/      \">\n\t\tOn Drake Spending Nine Hours in Jail in Sweden\t<\/h3>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tOne particularly juicy tidbit of information came in the revelation that Drake was arrested once in Sweden, spending all of nine hours in jail. (The country\u2019s prison system is known for offering the highest quality of life compared to any other country, for what it\u2019s worth.) \u201cI got arrested in Sweden,\u201d Drake said. \u201cI actually have a show coming up there. I feel like they\u2019re gonna try and run it back.\u201d After a slight back and forth between Althoff and Drake, he expands on the circumstances. \u201cI got arrested for nothing. Well, we did a private party, and one of the guys, the officer, his girl came to the private party. But they arrested me way too aggressive and they arrested me for nothing.\u201d Specifics about the ordeal remain scarce, though in 2022, online <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/music\/music-news\/drake-not-arrested-sweden-1235180976\/\">rumors swirled<\/a> about Drake possibly being arrested for marijuana possession in Sweden. <\/p>\n<h3 id=\"on-drake-allegedly-having-fake-abs\" class=\"heading larva \/\/      \">\n\t\tOn Drake Allegedly Having Fake Abs \t<\/h3>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tThe real hard-hitting news came towards the interview\u2019s end, as Althoff pressed Drake on what everyone in America wants to know: \u201cPeople think you got a procedure done. An ab one. Did you do that?\u201d Althoff asks<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\t\u201cNo,\u201d Drake responds.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\t\u201cYou\u2019ve never done that,\u201d Althoff prods. \u201cNo,\u201d he responds. \u201cPeople also say that I got a BBL.

I was sweaty in that pic,\u201d he says. \u201cI was like, maybe I heightened the saturation or something on it.
