Picture this: a cozy bed setup in Switzerland, two glasses of something undoubtedly bougie, and the most cringe-worthy reunion to hit the podcast waves. That’s right, LA’s own viral sensation Bobbi Althoff, the 26-year-old content queen, is back at it with her signature deadpan style for the debut of her new show, 'Not This Again.' And who’s her first guest? None other than the 6 God himself, Drake, bringing all the Hollywood drama back to where it started.
If you were too busy catching SoCal summer rays last year, you might’ve missed Bobbi’s wild rise to fame. Her gimmick was pure genius - interviewing A-listers from the comfort of a bed with a vibe so dry, it’s practically Mojave Desert level. Her breakout moment came with Drake, turning her into an overnight internet star, with follow-ups featuring Offset and Lil Yachty stealing the spotlight.
That first Drake interview? It was pure gold - until it disappeared from YouTube faster than a celebrity sighting on Rodeo Drive. The internet, being the messy gossip hub it is, went into overdrive with rumors of affairs swirling, especially as Bobbi navigated a divorce. The ultimate sign of beef in the digital age sealed the deal: they unfollowed each other on Instagram. Donezo - or so we thought.
For months, the ‘why’ behind the fallout was hotter than a Santa Ana wind. Now, in their latest 80-minute chat, the truth comes out, and it’s juicier than a Venice Beach smoothie. It all ties back to Drake’s August concert right here in Los Angeles, where tensions were already thicker than traffic on the 405.
“I thought he was already shady with me, so I hit him with a quick ‘f*** you’ text while he was still on stage at the LA show,” Bobbi admitted with a smirk, spilling the tea on how petty got real.
Bobbi dished that she felt Drake was giving her the cold shoulder before the concert even started, thanks to some prior back-and-forth shade. So, in a moment of pure petty brilliance, she fired off that infamous text mid-performance. Let’s just say, Drake wasn’t vibin’ with her energy.
Within 20 minutes, it was game over - blocked on text, Instagram, everywhere. For Bobbi, whose whole brand is built on clout and access, this was like getting banned from every Hollywood hotspot in one go. But Drake had his side too, claiming he took major heat for doing her first interview and felt like he was carrying the weight solo. When Bobbi later seemed to pin her personal drama on that chat, he hit delete on the vid, saying, “You’ll never have to see it again.”
The fallout hit hard. Bobbi revealed other guests bailed on her podcast after the very public block, while Drake, with a laugh, owned up to jokingly calling around to discourage folks from joining her show. Talk about a power move straight outta the LA playbook.
No convo with Drake in 2024 skips the internet’s obsession with his physique, and Bobbi wasn’t about to let it slide. She went straight for the jugular, asking point-blank about those suspiciously perfect abs. “Did you do that?” she pressed, channeling every Twitter sleuth in SoCal.
Drake’s response? A casual “No.” But the real LOL moment came with the “BBL Drizzy” nickname - a viral jab suggesting he got a Brazilian Butt Lift. He owned up to a gym selfie gone wrong, admitting he FaceTuned the pic and cranked the saturation, birthing a meme that’s stickier than LA tar pits. It was a rare, self-aware flex from a global star.
Sure, this story screams Malibu-style drama and celebrity tea, but there’s more under the surface. It’s a masterclass in how viral moments can skyrocket you to fame or tank your rep in a heartbeat, especially in a town like LA where image is everything. Social media moves like a block or unfollow aren’t just petty - they’ve got real-world consequences for creators like Bobbi.
It also blurs the line between real human connection and straight-up content hustling. In the end, they hashed it out, apologized, and squashed the beef. The original interview is back online, and Bobbi proved that sometimes the biggest comeback is just sliding back into bed with the dude who blocked you. Only in Hollywood, fam.
