6 Things We Learned From Drake’s Second Bobbi Althoff Interview
Drake rarely sits down for interviews these days, but he reunited with Bobbi Althoff for round two on Tuesday (Sept. 2), when Althoff launched her Not This Again podcast.
The duo originally linked up in 2023 for an interview but had a falling out that resulted in both parties agreeing to scrub the chat from YouTube.
“Welcome to the nicest thing that any guy has ever done for you,” Drake quipped. “You came around at an interesting time in your life and 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. I think I took some hits, verbally.”
He added: “You made me feel like our interview was the reason your life was bad. So I just said I’m gonna get rid of the interview and you won’t ever have to see it again a day in your life.”
Drake says the interview opened the floodgates for artists to sit down with more streamers instead of traditional media.
“What we did changed a lot of things for a lot of people. It was me just recognizing somebody that I never met in my life that I fully believed in,” he said. “It pissed off all these f—ing losers and storied journalists who feel so entitled to this interview, ‘Drake never does anything for this type of media.’ And it made people so angry.”
Drake continued: “It changed a lot of things in the streaming world, it made people feel more comfortable to sit down with somebody they’ve never sat down with before. … I feel like we did usher in the idea of you can be from two completely different walks of life. Celebrities, the goal is not to be some unattainable di–head for your whole life and only sit with Zane Lowe while he asks you the most curated and formal questions.”
While the 6 God remains on the road overseas touring Europe, he and Bobbi delved into plenty of interesting topics throughout the 80-minute convo. Here are the top six things we learned from it.
