The podcast host and content creator went viral in 2023 when Drizzy appeared on her show, The Really Good Podcast, setting off a spree of other rapper interviews — including Lil Yachty, YG, and Offset — as well as often sexist speculation about how she was able to attain such high-profile guests.
Althoff’s 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 something had rifted between the two. Last week, Althoff shared a teaser for her new podcast, Not This Again, featuring the two looking like old friends reunited.
The interview is the latest move from Drake that suggests he’s far more interested in the world of YouTubers, streamers, and content creators than traditional journalists. It’s a shift that is likely a savvy read of the current generation’s viewing habits, though possibly more fodder for his detractors who say he doesn’t belong in hip-hop culture.

The conversation eventually turned to another rumor that’s followed him: the so-called “BBL Drizzy” nickname. The moniker went viral last year when Metro Boomin leaned into the joke by releasing the diss track “BBL Drizzy.”
