lil yachty interview with bobbi

In the latest episode of “The Really Good Podcast,” host Bobbi Althoff turned her focus on hip hop heavyweight Lil Yachty today (July 27). Following her headline-grabbing interview with Drake, the TikTok star’s latest one-on-one gifted listeners with another riveting hour of candid dialogue.

Early in their exchange, she broached the depth of Yachty’s relationship with the Toronto superstar. With Yachty comfortably dressed in an “I Love Scene H**s” t-shirt, he offered a refreshingly candid response. The artist suggested that their rapport runs as deep as “the center of the Earth.” Although he stopped short of declaring Drizzy his best friend worldwide, the Atlanta native admitted he is certainly in his “Top 3.”

Toward the end of their conversation, Drake fittingly interrupted the interview. In a snippet shared alongside the episode’s debut, Althoff stated, “Don’t say nothing crazy.”

The “God’s Plan” hitmaker revealed, “It ain’t easy. It’s a tough one to power through, I’m not going to lie to you. God bless her heart, though.” Yachty responded, “Brother, I’m the one holding this conversation alive. I’ll tell you that much.”

Elsewhere in the conversation, Yachty spoke to the TikToker about his latest venture, “A Safe Place Podcast.” He explained, “I did it for my best friend… I did it because I wanted to make him rich.” When asked whether it was working, the musician replied, “Not yet. Well, I don’t know. We got our first sponsor. We got a pretty good signing deal. He’s not rich, but he has more money than he started with.”

Moreover, Althoff’s sit-down with Drake not only paved the way for her exchange with Yachty but also bolstered her show’s reputation. The Toronto native’s scolding of the host for missing her daughter’s first birthday for their interview sparked amusement and debate among fans.

Evident in this interview, the special camaraderie between Drake and Yachty highlighted the mutual respect they share. Yachty’s acknowledgment of the rapper as a role model echoed the sentiments of many others in the industry, including 21 Savage and Ice Spice.

Who is Bobbi Althoff? The TikToker who seemingly went from obscurity to having to shut down rumors she hooked up with rapper Drake

• Bobbi Althoff has taken over TikTok — and social media at-large — with her alluringly awkward podcast clips.
• She has only produced a handful of episodes, but they include big names like Drake and Lil Yachty.
• Before making her comedic podcast, "The Really Good Podcast," she found fame as a mom influencer.

25-year-old Bobbi Althoff is quickly becoming one of the biggest and most polarizing podcasters of the year.

Althoff first became known as a mom influencer on TikTok (or a MomToker) before privatizing her account and reemerging with comedic content. Clips from her podcast "The Really Good Podcast" have amassed tens of millions of views on the app. Since launching the podcast in 2021, she's managed to score A-list interviews with Drake and Lil Yachty, among others, in a shockingly short amount of time. 

The quick rise in success has also led some to accuse the influencer and host of being an industry plant .

Along with her star-studded guests, Althoff herself has become famous (or infamous, rather) for a deliberately deadpan persona. Her interviews aren't in the traditional Q&A format; they're dry and intentionally awkward, like episodes of Nathan Fielder's surreal comedy "Nathan For You." The influencer talks slowly and quietly, almost as if performing ASMR, and often instigates or leaves deliberate pauses to create discomfort. The humor of her videos is less about punch lines and more about seeing the baffled and unexpected reactions from the celebrities she interviews. Her podcast clips are often in video format, so the facial expressions of her and her guests play a crucial role. 

As people are feverishly asking and googling who Bobbi Althoff is , here is what you need to know about the woman who some people feel "popped up out of thin air." 

Althoff first found some success as a MomTok influencer.

Althoff first found internet fame as a mom influencer, according to TODAY . Her original account, @bobbialthon, has over 1.2 million followers but has been set to private. In the comments of a video published to her new channel, @bobbialthoff , in early 2022, she said she was turning the first account into a spam account and will be focusing full-time on comedy.

In videos that are still available to view from her old channel because of other people stitching them, she appeared to once offer sarcastic parenting advice: In one clip, she said she doesn't believe in allowing babies to crawl ; in another, she proudly said she named her daughter "Richard."

Her new channel, which has almost 5 million followers, also features videos about being a mom, with many of them documenting her pregnancy in 2021 and 2022. Similar to how she jokingly called her daughter "Richard," she said she named her second child "Concrete."

Althoff stopped posting personal life content on TikTok around April of this year, which is also when she began uploading her podcast clips.

Althoff launched her podcast in early 2023.

"The Really Good Podcast" has only had a handful of guests to date.

In an ironic twist of fate, her first guest was YouTuber Colleen Ballinger, who has faced serious  backlash this year after multiple former fans accused her of having an inappropriate relationship with them when they were underage. While Ballinger's fanbase continues to dwindle, Althoff's has grown immensely. 

In one clip of the episode uploaded to her Instagram in April, Althoff and Ballinger jokingly argued about whether Althoff invited her on the podcast or if she requested to be on it. The description of the post says that the full podcast is available on Althoff's YouTube channel, but the episode appears to have since been taken down.

Her next guest was Rick Glassman, a comedian and actor known for his role in the NBC sitcom "Undateable." She's posted excerpts from the podcast to her TikTok and Instagram with deliberately combative captions like, "This d-list actor tried to get me canceled on my own podcast… "

Viewers said they actually enjoyed how stressful it is to watch her interviews, with some saying they like the idea of a host and guest fighting to make each other uncomfortable.

Althoff began to gain traction with other influencer comedians. Then Drake's appearance shocked everyone.

After Glassman, Althoff interviewed the comedian Deric Cahill and the TikToker Morgan Presley , but the podcasts appear to have been taken down except for a few stray clips.

Althoff and her podcast started going viral after featuring clips with Funny Marco, an internet-famous comedian with millions of followers on TikTok and Instagram. She uploaded nine excerpts from her video podcast with Funny Marco, which have been viewed a cumulative 70 million times. Her biggest Marco clip featured him ambiguously asking her if she "was easy," and she intentionally misinterpreted the question (as in easy to get along with). 

@bobbialthoff I will be posting the rest of my interview with Drake to YouTube soon… ♬ original sound - Bobbi

She then skyrocketed in searches and popularity after releasing a long interview with Drake earlier this month. In the clips that have individually gone viral, she and the rapper are sitting under blankets in a bed, but she appears stern and indifferent towards him the entire time. In the most viewed clip of the episode, the two jokingly spar after Althoff calls Drake out for referencing his own song at one point.

Althoff's next guest will be Lil Yachty.

This week, Althoff posted a video teasing that rapper Lil Yachty would be her next guest. The teaser clip, which already has over 7 million views, features the two squabbling after Yachty imagines a future scenario where he meets her at a Pizza Hut.

"I would love to see you at a Pizza Hut takeout one day in like five years, as you're getting in your fucking Bentley, with your Chanel shades on," the rapper joked.

The podcast episode is set to premiere on Thursday.

Comments under Althoff's videos have begun to fill up with fans requesting interviews with other stars, like Tyler, the Creator, Post Malone, and Kevin Gates. Replying to a comment requesting she interview the comedian Theo Von, Althoff said, "Soon."

Amid her success, Althoff has been accused of being an "industry plant."

Althoff's sudden rise to ubiquity on social media has startled some internet users, who are now accusing her of being an industry plant, a term for people who quickly rise to fame because it's suspected they have the secret backing of industry professionals.

People are demanding to know how she quickly locked collaborations with massive celebrities like Drake and Yachty on her show. And how a white woman grew a platform to interview Black celebrities: "Does her father own Drake's masters? I'm trying to figure out how this industry plant is interviewing Drake when respected Black journalists can't even get a nod from him," one person tweeted .

Others have accused her of stealing Funny Marco's style of comedy since he has a similarly surrealist and deadpan approach.

Insider has reached out to Althoff for comment.

While she has not addressed these criticisms or allegations publicly, before her recent surge in virality, she had a sizable fanbase on TikTok for years.

After the Drake video mysteriously disappeared from Althoff's YouTube channel, rumors sparked about their friendship.

@bobbialthoff Really in my element here @ this guys concert ♬ original sound - Bobbi

On August 13, Althoff posted a video to her TikTok account which showed her standing, arms crossed, looking unimpressed at a concert while Drake could be heard performing in the background. 

"Really in my element here @ this guys concert," the caption of the video read, which received over 25.7 million views. 

As of a day later, the interview featuring Drake had been removed from both YouTube and Spotify, and clips featuring the same interview were deleted from Althoff's TikTok account, and fans noticed the two had also unfollowed each other on Instagram, prompting speculation they'd had a rift, Insider previously reported . 

Althoff shut down rumors that she 'hooked up' with Drake, according to Instagram DMs she leaked to set the record straight.

Althoff appeared on Dave Portnoy's podcast "BFFS" on August 11 where she discussed the Drake interview.

It appears a short video was uploaded to tease the episode, which was edited to make it look as though Portnoy was about to reveal Althoff told him there had been a sexual relationship between her and Drake.

In Response, Althoff publicly revealed screenshots of what appeared to be Instagram DMs between her and Portnoy in which he had written, "My girlfriend says you hooked up with Drake and got divorced. I am saying that is not true."

Althoff responded, "I am not commenting publicly but off the record, you're right that is not true."

In a video posted to TikTok on August 17, which received 2.6 million views, Portnoy apologized for a section of his podcast where he had spoken about the private messages and wrote the clip had been edited by his social media team "to make it seem juicy which is bullshit."

The satire, ironic boredom, and Drake-fueled mystery of podcaster Bobbi Althoff, explained

The celebrity interviewer is really good at selling disinterest.

by Alex Abad-Santos

Bobbi Althoff doesn’t want you to take her seriously.

Althoff hosts The Really Good Podcast . The phrase “really good” isn’t an earnest declaration of quality, but rather the summation of Althoff’s brand of perpetually detached, flat-affect daring: Go ahead and tell her it’s not “really good.” She would never claim the talk show is rigorous, researched, or anything but awkward. The podcast, like the character Althoff is playing on it, is supposed to be ironically pleasant enough.

But, like, only if you get it.

The Really Good Podcast ’s subscriber numbers and Althoff’s profile rose over the past few months after the 26-year-old TikToker, once known for mom content , switched mediums and landed an interview with the press-averse Drake in July 2023. Adding to the lore was the fact that Althoff scored the life-changing conversation via a series of Instagram DMs. While the interview did happen, the episode was ultimately deleted in August with no further official explanation from Althoff or the rapper as to why.

Since then, Althoff has parlayed that interview and her style — unfazed, dry, bored in an ironic way — into more episodes featuring guests like Mark Cuban, Maluma, Lil Yachty, and Shaq to the tune of hundreds of thousands of views. She asks her interview subjects what they wear, how they live, and what they like to eat, but doesn’t seem that interested in what they have to say. She meets most of them with deadpan sarcasm and silence, making her guests live in the discomfort of whatever they just revealed.

But it’s Althoff’s recent interview with rapper Offset that has brought her back into the mainstream conversation. Unlike previous guests, Offset took charge of the conversation, flipping the tables on Althoff and dragging her mercilessly, at one point comparing her to unsalted chicken meat.

It raised the question of just why Althoff is so popular and why she’s been so successful. It calls into question Althoff’s persona and what exactly people are laughing at. In many ways, it was a really good podcast, but perhaps not in the way Althoff intended.

What Bobbi Althoff’s whole deal is

If you look through Althoff’s videos on YouTube and dig into the comments section — the place for people who have the strongest opinions and the most time on their hands — the replies have a common theme. Her biggest fans like these videos because they believe Althoff is providing something more irreverent than regular celebrity interviews. To her followers, Althoff’s interviews upend what these conversations are supposed to be, and in turn unsettle the famous people who know exactly how they are supposed to act — generally.

Most celebrity interviews and profiles — on talk shows or in entertainment magazines — just serve as publicity for whatever an actor or musician is working on next. There’s a slew of expected questions and pre-prepped answers that don’t really tell an audience anything except when a new movie is coming out or how to preorder an album. Look at any press tour and you’ll see answers repeated over and over in competing publications.

Althoff doesn’t really allow for that.

Watching and listening to her feels like someone brought to life Olivia Mossbacher — the mean white teenage girl played by Sydney Sweeney on the first season of HBO’ s White Lotus — or as my editor insists, like NBC figured out how to combine Parks and Recreation ’s April Ludgate (Aubrey Plaza) with The Office ’s Pam Beesly (Jenna Fischer). She doesn’t like to make eye contact. Her arms are seemingly always crossed. Whether she’s saying something cutting, something hilarious, or something to indicate genuine interest, there’s no emotion in her crispy, deep-fried voice. It all conjures up a vibe that she’d rather be anywhere else than interviewing this extremely famous person.

When this works, it leads to some fun.

In the episode with singer Jason Derulo , Althoff uses her deliberate awkwardness as an avenue through which to ask Derulo about the shirt he’s wearing. They’re both dressed casually. Derulo is wearing a tangerine cutoff tank and a pair of shorts but can’t name the designer.

“Do you not buy your clothes?” she asks. She looks like she’s about to pounce, as much as Althoff can look like someone who would actually pounce. “I was just wondering if you have someone who’s like, ‘Here’s your shirt for today .’”

“A lot of days, like, I get a lot of different options laid out,” Derulo replies. “But then, you know, I’ll like pick an option.”

“Okay, just hard work,” Althoff smirks, eliciting an awkward sighing laugh from Derulo.

Derulo looks like he’s going to the gym, and this interview appears as casual as can be. But the truth is that there’s someone else in charge of going to the store and buying Derulo’s casual clothes. That person, or someone else on the payroll, then picked out a series of clothes to suit this interview, and Derulo chose from that assortment. Apparently, according to Derulo, this happens on a lot of days of his existence. That means when we see Derulo in his media appearances, out and about in paparazzi photos, or even the days when we don’t see Derulo and he’s just living, there’s likely someone who picked out his outfits.

This revelation is a small detail and came from gentle ribbing, but it brings into focus how constructed Derulo’s image is. Whether it’s asking Charlie Puth about whether his team prepared him for a hurricane, interrogating Shaq about how he couldn’t travel with his private chef, or grilling Lil Yachty about his $90,000 veneers, Althoff has a way of bringing into focus how starkly different the way celebrities live life — and think about money — is from regular humans.

Despite the many assurances that they are just like us, celebrities aren’t. The fun of Althoff’s show is having these very rich and famous people acknowledge that themselves and, often, laugh at the gulf between our lives and theirs.

Bobbi Althoff didn’t invent the deadpan interview (and hasn’t really improved it)

Althoff’s success isn’t a total surprise. The type of purposefully uncomfortable style she’s implementing has been done and critically lauded before. Althoff has drawn comparisons to Zach Galifianakis on Between Two Ferns , Diana Morgan as Philomena Cunk on Cunk on Earth , and Amelia Dimoldenberg on Chicken Shop Date , but with less charm and skill.

Another particularly potent comparison is comedian Ziwe. The writer and talk show host rose to fame by asking controversial, semi-famous white women like Caroline Calloway , Alison Roman , and Rose McGowan impossibly uncomfortable questions about race, like if white people should get cookies for being allies, and if they could name five Asian people in all of history.

Ziwe landed a satirical talk show on Showtime, where she continued to roast her guests while also calling into question broader issues of how beauty, race, and money operate in the world.

“Can you tell us how white boy summer is different from the past 400 summers in American history?” Ziwe asks Chet Haze, a white rapper who sometimes has a Jamaican accent and is also Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson’s son.

“I guess not. I don’t know. I think it started with me getting a fresh-ass haircut and I was feeling myself,” Haze replies, likely failing to recognize Ziwe’s barb about oppression, or possibly fully understanding the joke and proceeding to talk about his haircut anyway.

The tension and humor that Ziwe — who is also playing a satirical version of herself — is able to create in that interview with Haze works because she’s done her work and seems genuinely interested in what Haze has to say, even if it’s extreme.

The comedy of asking Haze about oppression and white boy summer works because it comes partly at Ziwe’s expense. She’s earnestly asking Haze — someone who has never claimed to be a spokesperson for race and inequality nor is revered as one — an absurd question. The same goes for Galifianakis asking Justin Bieber about why he thinks Anne Frank is a Belieber, or Morgan as Cunk asking historians whose renaissance is better: Beyoncé’s or the European artistic movement of the 15th and 16th centuries.

Satire works because there’s an awareness of the absurdity. It’s sharp and considered, with something larger to say about celebrity, history, money, race, or whatever the satirist has taken aim at.

Each episode, Ziwe’s, Morgan’s, and Galifianakis’s characters are, for the sake of the bit, genuinely engaged in their guests but also find a way to stay true to the satire. They’re hitting the beats we expect but adapting it to the situation.

In its weakest moments, Althoff’s sardonic boredom has no deeper level to it, nothing beyond its vapidity. Althoff said herself that she is unprepared and doesn’t research , which doesn’t make for the hardest-hitting interviews. It raises the question of exactly how long she can keep this all going (Althoff has live shows scheduled later in theaters this year). If all she has to offer is general disinterest, what’s the difference if Althoff is interviewing Offset or Drake or Maluma or Charlie Puth? At some point, all these interviews bleed into one another, making them harder to distinguish and more similar to the same-same celebrity interviews her fans loathe.

How Offset changed Bobbi Althoff’s show

While Althoff’s interviews have gotten hundreds of thousands of views, it was her interview with rapper Offset that aimed a mainstream spotlight on the podcaster. On the September 28 episode , Althoff employed a riff on Offset’s clothes — asking him why he chose his outfit (boots, shorts, and a leather jacket) — not unlike she did with Derulo. Offset had a different response.

“Because you’re not gonna do it,” Offset replies to her. “I dress the way that you won’t dress because you don’t get it, you don’t get the language, you don’t get it.”

A few seconds later, Althoff replies: “I feel like you maybe are insecure about that question. because you answered very defensively. I was trying to understand; you don’t have to be so mean.”

He then explains to her that people who dress like Althoff — whose style Offset describes as 36-year-old mom — don’t get the idea of personal style. He turns the tables on Althoff, asking her, essentially, if she picked out her outfit and why she put it together that way for an interview with him. “Why would you go 2000s tank with the open button-up?” he says. “You put that together. It’s just not all the way together.”

Among other barbs exchanged — Offset not knowing who she is, Offset telling Althoff not to make fun of his finances, Offset telling Althoff her legs and ankles are ashy, Offset telling Althoff that she is like an unseasoned piece of chicken — Offset roasts Althoff’s interview style.

“Hell nah,” he tells her when asked if he would recommend going on the podcast to his friends. He then goes in on Althoff’s deadpan voice and lack of enthusiasm. “You should be Siri. Deadass. No playing shit. You should hit Apple and be like, ‘Yo, it’s 2023. It’s time for the new Siri voice.’ You could apply for that shit and they’re gonna give it to you. And that’s gonna be more money . ”

“You should go write new music,” she volleys back.

“Steve Jobs. ‘Hey Steve ,’” Offset continues his joke.

Althoff’s episode with Offset has over 2.2 million views on YouTube, significantly more than her recent videos with Maluma , Derulo, J. Balvin , Shaq, and Puth (her video views peaked after the Drake interview in July ). Since the episode aired, Offset has maintained that there’s no hard feelings between the two, that it was a positive experience, and talked about how it was all in jest.

While it might have been fun for both parties, Althoff’s lack of playfulness and quickness in that Offset installment brought attention to her podcast style. It even had some questioning her fame.

Critics called her mediocre and a bad host , and said her schtick was tired . Others compared her to the aforementioned hosts, noting how she was passing off a poorer version of that style of interview. Some critics pointed out that the Offset interview highlighted that Althoff’s humor tends to play on the fact that she’s a white woman who’s uncomfortable in Black spaces and purposely uninterested around Black people and people of color:

That critique raises the question of what people find so funny about Althoff and who exactly finds it funny. Is Althoff asking these very famous celebrities questions about their very expensive, out-of-touch lives inherently funny? Or is the comedy in the implicit notion of how uncomfortable Black culture makes this white woman? Do her interviews with Charlie Puth and Mark Cuban get as many clicks as Shaq or Offset? (They do not.)

Althoff has maintained that the person she is on her podcast is a character, that the Bobbi Althoff on the air is not who the real Bobbi Althoff is, and that her biggest critics don’t fully understand her.

“I’m very insecure, and the character that I’ve created is made up of my biggest insecurities. I’ve just made her into someone who’s proud of who she is,” Althoff told Cosmopolitan in an interview this summer. She also explained that the celebrities she has on know that they’re interacting with that character Althoff has created.

“I’ve always been so embarrassed about being socially awkward. Now, I’ve exaggerated that and made it even worse for this character. It’s a fun way to take control of this thing that’s been horrible for me my whole life,” Althoff continued.

Perhaps Althoff is really committed to this bit, which includes ironic displeasure at talking to people of color, Black rappers especially. Maybe her biggest critics just don’t get that Althoff is making a joke about white women’s self-importance, if that’s her intention.

But she’s not made a convincing argument that she’s skillfully executing that satire. Her jokes, especially in the Offset interview, float on one level — that this specific Caucasian woman is rude and disinterested — never threatening to be anything more substantial. Althoff’s failure isn’t that she’s rude or disinterested, but that she’s incapable of challenging her audience beyond that.

If you love deadpan interviews and the art of making celebs slightly uncomfortable, what happened to Drake and Bobbi Althoff might be your cup of tea.

Bobbi Althoff is known for her super dry interviews like Amelia Dimoldenberg on Chicken Shop Date and her stints with very famous celebrities like Lil Yachty and Tyga. What made her extremely viral was her interview with Drake where she’s lying in the same bed as him. Althoff was known as a mom influencer but pivoted to her current series “The Really Good Podcast” where her first podcast guest was Colleen Ballinger. With the success of the podcast and the episode subsequently vanishing from existence, what actually happened to Drake and Bobbi Althoff? Do they have beef? Here’s what we know.

What happened to Bobbi Althoff & Drake?

What happened to Bobbi Althoff and Drake? No one knows what happened between the both of them, but it doesn’t seem like things are on good terms.

As of writing this article, Bobbi Althoff does not follow Drake and vice versa. The whole episode of “The Really Good Podcast” with Drake has been deleted. Many fans reuploaded the episode onto different social media platforms like X (formerly known as Twitter). However, clip teasers leading up to the podcast episode’s release is still up on Althoff’s Youtube.

Althoff also posted a TikTok of her at Drake’s concert in her online persona by not enjoying the concert while her two friends dance around. “Really in my element here @ this guys concert,” she captioned the post.

After the mutual unfollowing, Althoff teased a “big announcement coming next Monday” on her Instagram story. She added: “Set a reminder because you guys will not want to miss this. Nine in the morning, someone’s time zone,”  The Sun  reported.

How did Drake appear on Bobbi Althoff's podcast?

In an interview with Cosmopolitan , Althoff revealed how she got her big guests on her podcast that led to Drake’s attention. “I got a random comment on TikTok asking if I had heard of Funny Marco [a comedian also known for his dry interview style]. I took a screenshot of the comment, posted it on my Instagram Stories, and tagged him, saying, “Marco, if you want to make this girl $300, DM me.” He had over 4 million followers at the time, and I only had 500,000. I was like, He’s not going to see this. But he replied, like, a second later. So I sent the girl $300 and he came on the podcast. Our video together got so many views, and Drake Liked it. Then he followed me.”

“I decided to just go for it and shoot my shot,” she said. “I DMed Drake and asked if he wanted to be on my podcast, and he said yes. He sent me his touring schedule, and I knew that I needed to make it happen fast, so my friend and I flew to Memphis two days after the original DM was sent to record the episode.”

As a young mother, she also described how it was the first time she had to travel without her kids, “It was my first time ever leaving my kids overnight. And Drake posted a picture that we took that night and you can see the cords of my pump. I was over there just, like, pumping and stuff.” She continued, “We celebrated her birthday the weekend before, and she’s 1. She doesn’t know anything. It’s like any other day to her. People are so dramatic. They were like, You did this for Drake? I don’t even know what my parents did for my 1st birthday. They probably worked. I know that I’m a good mom. It was work, and it was very much needed.”

Bobbi Althoff Breaks Silence About Drake

Bobbi Althoff addressed her relationship with Drake after the president of Barstool Sports Dave Portnoy revealed that the podcaster didn’t sleep with Drake and that wasn’t the cause of the rift after he messaged her directly. Though the clip of what she wrote to him was bleeped out in promotional clips, Althoff came forward to reveal the DM. “I did not want to do this podcast in the first place, and now so much negativity is coming from it. I’m going to leave it alone after this but this is the uncensored dm between Dave and I,” she wrote.

“My girlfriend said you slept with Drake and are getting a divorce. I am saying that is not true,” Dave wrote to Bobbi via Instagram DM. Bobbi responded: “I’m not commenting on it publicly, but off the record, you’re right that is not true.”  The conversation ended with Portnoy adding, “I knew I was right.”

He later apologized to Althoff and put blame on his staff. “I asked her about it directly, she answered directly. Our social media team edited the clip to make it seem juicy, which is bullshit,” he wrote.

“I owe @bobbialthoff an apology,” Portnoy wrote on his Instagram story. “She’s been in the news about her and @drake unfollowing each other after doing a pod together. All sorts of rumors about it. I asked her about it directly. She answered directly. Our social media team edited the clip to make it seem juicy which is bullshit. I freaked out on Austin the second I saw it. We did her dirty.”

Lil Yachty Opens Up to Bobbi Althoff About Friendship With Drake, Who Interrupts Hilarious Interview

The TikTok star's viral Drake interview is followed by an equally hilarious podcast episode featuring his close friend and collaborator Lil Yachty.

Bobbi Althoff has followed up her headlines-generating Drake interview with a new episode of The Really Good Podcast featuring the 6 god's friend and frequent collaborator, Lil Yachty .

The resulting hour-long interview was shot after Drake's recently released episode, which itself was mentioned in Bobbi and Boat's extended back-and-forth. Close to 14 minutes into the discussion, Althoff asked Yachty about his "best friend." Specifically, she asked him to reveal how "deep" their conversations typically go.

"Very deep, like center of the Earth," Yachty, wearing an I Love Scene Hoes t-shirt, said. As for whether Drake is his best friend “in the world,” he had this to say: “I wouldn’t say 'in the world' but he’s definitely, like, top three.”

Deeper into the conversation, the topic of Drake’s wealth was broached when the host noted that he had paid for her flight in connection with their interview. Apparently, Yachty did not do the same for his Really Good Podcast appearance.

“He has fucking 50 times more money than me. What are you talking about?” Yachty said around 24 minutes in. “I tell him that all the time. He buys my planet tickets.”

Drake, Yachty noted, is indeed “fucking filthy rich.” But Yachty is hoping for similar success for himself as he continues his own career.

“I hope so. I plan on it,” he said when asked if he thinks he’ll ever be “as rich” as Drake. “I’m manifesting it. He’s also been doing music for, like, 14 years longer than me.”

Toward the end of Bobbi and Boat’s chat, the latter received a well-timed (albeit interview-interrupting) call from Drake.

The interview also saw Yachty opening up about his favorite film Interstellar (he’s seen it “over 100 times”), his speeding arrest from a few years ago, the mental benefits of hookah, his proven skills when it comes to staring contests, his family, and more.

In September, Yachty will kick off his global tour in support of his acclaimed Let’s Start Here album with a show in Washington D.C. See here for a full list of dates .

Drake and Bobbi Althoff's interview drama, explained

B obbi Althoff became a pop culture sensation in 2023. The social media personality was launched into a new stratosphere of stardom when she began posting viral interviews with celebrities like Lil Yachty, Offset, and Mark Cuban.

Althoff's most popular interview, however, has been with Drake . She had an hour-long conversation with the iconic rapper in July 2023, but a subsequent falling out between the two of them led to the interview being taken down.

The whole thing transpired in somewhat confusing fashion, with Althoff and Drake refusing to go on the record to discuss what happened. Fortunately, internet sleuths and some off the record remarks have shed light on this seemingly random feud.

Bobbi Althoff's interview with Drake was deleted in August 2023

Despite receiving a staggering 29 million views, the Drake interview was taken down a month after it was uploaded to YouTube. There was no reason given, but they stopped following each other on IG in the days that followed. TikTok user @PhotogSteve81 posted a theory video claiming that Drake was responsible for takedown.

The TikTok theory pointed out that Drake played a portion of the Tyga song "Rack City" during the interview, and posits that he did so intentionally so that he could issue a copyright strike and get it taken down. @PhotogSteve 81 elaborated:

“This meant that all of the proceeds from the podcast would have to be turned over to Universal Music or Bobbi would be facing a very large lawsuit… Bobbi’s team, realizing they would not be able to monetize their biggest podcast in history, decided to pull the podcast.”

There are numerous theories about Althoff and Drake's feud

The motive behind the copyright strike was unclear, which sparked even more theories about Althoff's and Drake's feud. Some theorized that Drake was offended by negative comments Althoff made about Lil Yachty during her appearance on Barstool's BFF's Podcast .

Drake and Yachty are close friends, and those who support this theory believe that the rapper took the video down to get back at Althoff. A second theory posits that Althoff and Drake hooked up and the tension that resulted from the former being married led to the interview being pulled.

BFF's Podcast host Dave Portnoy posted screenshots from a private chat in which he asked Althoff about the "hook up" rumors. Portnoy wrote: "My girlfriend said you slept with Drake and are getting a divorce. I am saying that is not true" and Althoff wrote back:

"I'm not commenting on it publicly, but off the record, you're right that is not true."

Drake and Lil Yachty allegedly dissed Althoff on a song

The trail went cold until October 2023, when Drake released the song "Another Late Night". One lyric in the song set off alarms for people who wanted to know more about the Althoff drama. The fact that Lil Yachty was the one who rapped it furthered the speculation. The lyric in question :

'Boost a white b***h up and now she think she really poppin'

Neither Althoff nor Drake have addressed the situation since August. It's unlikely that they will ever discuss what really happened, but it's clear that they are no longer as they friendly as they appeared to be during their now infamous conversation.

“I would call her the queen of the fringe of cringe,” says Vinnie Potestivo, an Emmy Award–winning TV executive who has developed talent for series such as  MTV ’s  Punk’d ,  The Osbournes and  Boiling  Points. “This idea of the media being on the fringe of cringe is not a new trend. This is true, tried and tested. The difference is most people see podcasting as bad social media content,” Potestivo adds. “And this is where Bobbi actually got it right. Bobbi’s like, you wanna see bad social media content? You wanna see a train wreck?”

When asked why she started doing interviews as an alter ego versus herself on the May 10 episode of Tammin Sursok and Roxy Manning’s podcast  Woman on Top  earlier this year, Althoff replied, “Myself doesn’t get views, I had to [go] where the money was.”

“My issue is the quote-unquote humor in these interviews that Bobbi conducts,” says music journalist Naima Cochrane. “The optics of it with Black men, especially, are rooted in the fact that she is a pretty white woman who is clueless about Black culture and hip-hop culture and doesn’t care to be informed about Black culture and hip-hop culture. The entire humor of it is like, oh, this white girl doesn’t care to be here. Why is that funny to us?”

What underlies Cochrane’s frustration is the same concern that led sports journalist  Jemele Hill  to express her displeasure with Althoff’s rise to fame on X, formerly known as Twitter, when she wrote on Sept. 25, “I don’t find these types of interviews particularly enjoyable or interesting. Instead, it just sadly points out how real Hip-Hop journalism has been practically erased.”

Althoff has been accused of copying the interview style of other popular Black hosts such as Ziwe  and  Funny Marco , who’s  appeared on her show . Her podcast has also drawn comparisons to  Zach Galifianakis’   Between Two Ferns  and Amelia Dimoldenberg’s  Chicken Shop Date , which similarly put guests in awkward positions. 

“Those satirical sit-downs would be a little gotcha-y, but there was some research, there were some notecards, an actual interview was conducted. With Althoff, it very much seems like there’s no prep,” says Cochrane. “As somebody who conducts interviews for a living, I find it highly disrespectful and a waste of time.”

Althoff confirmed as much when she told told  Cosmo , “There’s no prep, and that’s the fun of it. I think that’s why celebrities are down to do it. They know it’s a character, and we just wing it. It’s not a real interview. I’m not trying to get hard-hitting information about you — I’m not trying to uncover anything. It’s just a conversation. It’s really a parody of a good interview.”

“ Podcasters  are seen as strong word-of-mouth authorities,” says Potestivo, who’s also the host of  I Have a Podcast .  “She’s getting guests because podcasters are the most impactful media personalities when it comes to creating word of mouth. If you can get other people to share your content, and if visibility times shareability equals discoverability, then what Bobbi’s doing is kind of brilliant.”

As a former music label marketing executive, Cochrane disagrees with the value proposition for artists.   “What’s interesting to me is that her stuff doesn’t live. She pulls episodes down,” she says, referring to Althoff’s removal of her interviews with Drake and Lil Yachty. “If my team brought this to me, my question would have been, ‘How is that going to drive our album sales?’ She doesn’t even know what her guests are there to promote.” 

In the wake of Althoff’s controversial chat with Offset, her subsequent interview with  Scarlett Johansson  raised eyebrows even higher for what some viewers perceived to be a different conversation style altogether — one in which Althoff actually appears interested in and knowledgeable about her subject. Johansson is also, notably, the first white woman Althoff appears to have spoken with for her podcast.

“I’m not calling Bobbi Althoff some kind of racist,” adds Hill. “I don’t know this woman and I would never say that about her, but I do think that there is some level of understanding that how she interacts with Black celebrities plays and looks differently than it does when she’s with other people.”

Black audiences’ poor reception of Althoff may lead to hesitation from Black artists to appear on her show in the future, which is something Hill would like to see.

“I know Black entertainers who are very intentional about who they sit down with, who they allow to have access to them, and who they allow to tell their stories. I would like to see more Black entertainers be more intentional about that,” she says, noting “there’s enough responsibility to go around” when it comes to Althoff’s newfound fame and its potential to continue to rise.

At the end of the day, it will be viewers who have the final say about whether Althoff’s antics are worth consuming, says Potestivo.

“To be really blunt, it’s an indie podcast, meaning a network can’t be held responsible for canceling this,” he adds. “The old-school version of what we would do as an audience if we didn’t like something is make sure the platform that was supporting her wasn’t supporting her, right? In this case, it’s for us to figure out what happens next.”

Lil Yachty Re-Follows Drake On Instagram Following Intense Fan Speculation

Well, that was quick. Fans of Lil Yachty and Drake 's collaborative chemistry breathed a sigh of relief when it became clear that the former is now following the latter on Instagram. Moreover, this is because social media users initially went into a frenzy due to the Atlanta creative unfollowing the Toronto superstar , which eagle-eyed followers spotted on Tuesday (August 20). Of course, a lot of the controversy behind this is that the duo has a strong personal bond. Also, they picked a very inconvenient time to spark this sort of thing, as the rest of the world has intensely tallied up Drizzy's enemies in the rap game for a couple of months now.

But the Kendrick Lamar and Drake battle isn't the only factor that fans thought contributed to Lil Yachty's unfollow. It's also the fact that, based on some online teases, Drake is gearing up to officially release the track " Supersoak ." However, it seems like this cut no longer features Yachty. The Let's Start Here. artist had initially leaked the original collaborative version of this song to Kai Cenat after they failed to clear the sample. The reason why is because the sampled artist, Mr. Hotspot, refused to do so unless they made a clean version of their link-up.

Lil Yachty Re-Follows Drake (If He Ever Really Unfollowed Him In The First Place)

As such, when Lil Yachty unfollowed Drake for a brief moment, one popular fan theory was that Mr. Hotspot allowed the latter to drop the song if he removed the former from it. After all, it was Yachty who spilled much of this tea on a recent podcast. During this same session, he also expressed regret over sharing his thoughts on the Kendrick Lamar beef. These comments really angered much of the OVO fanbase, and planted the seeds of doubt concerning their friendship that manifested today.

Meanwhile, Lil Yachty also has some other critics to deal with. Jim Jones challenged him to a " fashion battle " to settle the debate over Atlanta style and New York style that Yachty sparked earlier this year. Regardless of whether or not this Drake situation is anything legitimate, he will probably continue to share his unfiltered and outspoken perspective on the culture. Let's see whether or not they will spend "Another Late Night" in the studio together or if this marks something more contentious.

• Drake Reportedly Dropping Controversial 'Super Soak' Song But With Major Twist

Drake ‘s recently leaked collaboration with Lil Yachty , “Super Soak,” is getting an official release, albeit with a major twist.

That’s according to Akademiks , who claimed on his Rumble stream on Monday (August 19) that the 6 God is gearing up to drop the track on streaming services, sans Lil Boat.

“I heard it’s coming out, people, with a music video,” said the media personality, who has been sharing various bits of Drake info in recent months. “Now, it’s some interesting shit going on here. I hear the ‘Super Soak’ track is coming out, music video included. One caveat: there’s no Lil Yachty on it.

“That’s a little confusing to me […] because it was Yachty’s song initially. Drake sent that to Yachty for it to be on Yachty’s Concrete [Boys] project .

“This is not a source from Drake, by the way. I have multiple other sources outside of Drake. And Drake doesn’t even know I’m telling y’all this.

“I saw something that could be a music video and it eerily matches a silhoutte that I’d seen Drake post,” Akademiks added, before pulling up a picture of the rapper’s new hairstyle .

“Super Soak” has caused a bit of a stir since it was first premiered by streamer Kai Cenat last month.

Drake faced the wrath of Soulja Boy after the “Crank That” rapper believed he was taking a shot at him on the song by rapping: “I’m watching the moves, playin’ it close / SOD, super soak.”

The line appeared to be an overt reference to Soulja’s record label Stacks on Deck, as well as his 2007 song “Super Soak,” and came after Big Draco had taunted Drake on social media for losing his beef to Kendrick Lamar .

Hitting back at the perceived diss in a vicious rant on Instagram Live, Soulja said: “Drake, you better keep that shit light, my boy. This your first and only warning. If you doing a shoutout, cool. If you’re in any form, shape or way trying to disrespect me or sneak diss, I’m on yo ass, boy. This not gon’ be the best idea for you, family.”

Soulja later revealed that he and Drizzy had cleared the air and it was all a misunderstanding.

Lil Yachty also added to the controversy surrounding “Super Soak” when he admitted that he and Drake were unable to clear the sample, but he decided to leak it anyway knowing they could still profit from the track by performing it.

June 5, 2024

“Super Soak” samples Mr. Hotspot’s viral song “Goodness Gracious,” but Hotspot denied the duo’s sample clearance request due to religious reasons.

Guesting on comedian Andrew Schultz’s Flagrant podcast, Yachty appeared unhappy at the rejection, saying: “He went down, like, a Christian path. I don’t think we got in to money. He was like, ‘No.’ It was crazy, Everyone was like, ‘Are you serious?’”

Mr. HotSpot later gave Drake and Yachty an ultimatum, allowing them to sample “Goodness Gracious” if they cleaned up their lyrics and made “Super Soak” more PG-friendly.

“We don’t need no children getting whooped ’cause they said this or that. If you look at the backside, it’s the children who really running these views up so if we can make sure both verses clean, everybody coming clean, everybody gonna benefit for sure,” he said in a TikTok video.

“We ain’t trying to hold them back from nothing but we just need the morals correct, that’s all.”

It’s unclear if Drake has complied with the request in order to get the sample cleared or how the finished product differs from the leaked version.

Who Is Bobbi Althoff's Ex-Husband? All About Cory Althoff

Podcast host Bobbi Althoff announced her split from husband Cory Althoff after four years of marriage in February 2024

Rebecca Aizin is an Editorial Assistant at PEOPLE. She has been working at PEOPLE since 2023. Her work has previously appeared on Elle, HGTV and Backstage. 

Bobbi Althoff/Facebook

Bobbi Althoff and Cory Althoff were married for four years before he filed for divorce in February 2024.

The exes tied the knot on Jan. 31, 2020, and share two daughters, Isla and Luca.

Following the announcement of their split, Bobbi posted a lengthy message on Instagram , writing that she would always consider Cory a friend despite the end of their romantic relationship.

"While our relationship did not work out as husband and wife, we will always be friends and I will always love him,” she wrote under a black-and-white photo of the pair smiling as she shows off her engagement ring.

Bobbi first went viral in 2023 when she started releasing episodes of The Really Good Podcast , which featured her interviewing celebrities in a purposely awkward style, often making her guests hilariously uncomfortable. One of her first interviews was with Drake , which racked up millions of views before it was taken down shortly after it was posted.

So, who is Bobbi Althoff’s ex-husband? Here’s everything to know about Cory Althoff and his relationship with the TikTok influencer.

He is pursuing his master’s at the University of Southern California

Bobbi Althoff TikTok

After graduating from Clemson University with a degree in political science, Cory pivoted to a career in technology. However, in 2023, he chose to return to school at the University of Southern California, where he is pursuing a master’s in business administration and management.

He is set to graduate in 2025, per his LinkedIn , and regularly posts photos with his cohort.

“I had such a great time studying communication and strategy this week as part of the MBA program i’m doing at USC Marshall,” he wrote in one post . “I learned so much, and I can’t wait to start applying it to my role at CompTIA.”

He is a software engineer

Cory decided to pursue a career in technology after graduation and taught himself to code. He landed his first job as a software engineer at eBay in 2014 before working for a startup, Thuuz Sports, and then taking a break from the tech world to focus on writing his books.

“I wanted to try creating my own product, do something on my own, instead of working for a company,” Cory told Forbes in November 2017.

Now, Cory is the senior vice president of software development programs at CompTIA, a position he assumed in February 2023, per his LinkedIn.

He is a published author

Motivated by his own struggle and journey of getting his start in the field, Cory decided to write his first book, The Self-Taught Programmer , in 2017 to help others who may be on a similar path. His goal was to make the book accessible so that people who had no knowledge at all about the field could easily understand what he was writing about.

“It was like solving a puzzle,” he told Forbes . “I was trying to create a book you could follow with zero knowledge.”

Cory published the book himself, raising over $4,000 on Kickstarter and spending over $10,000 of his own money to market and publish the book on Amazon. Since then, he received traditional contracts from publishing companies in five countries across the globe, and the book has sold over 100,000 copies in seven different languages as of March 2021.

In 2021, Cory released his second book, The Self-Taught Computer Scientist , in an effort to write something on the subject that “anyone can read,” he wrote on Instagram. This time, he published through Wiley.

“Whether you are preparing for a technical interview or want to become a better programmer: I've done my best to present the fundamental computer science concepts you need to have a successful programming career in a way anyone can understand,” he wrote while promoting the book on Instagram in 2021. “I hope my new book inspires a new wave of self-taught programmers and helps contribute to even more success stories.”

He and Bobbi share two daughters

The former couple are parents to two daughters. Isla was born in June 2022 and Luca was born in 2020. Before her TikTok pivoted toward promoting her podcast interviews, Bobbi mainly posted content about being a mom and the struggles that come with it.

However, after she gained fame, she deleted all the videos involving her daughters off her page, explaining on Dave Portnoy's BFFs podcast in August 2023 that she didn’t want them to be recognized in public.

"I'm so happy I [deleted the videos], especially since I made that decision before [the podcast] because I don't want them to have the digital footprint that I've created," she said. "Now when they go public and they're not with me, I don't have to worry so that's good."

He was occasionally featured in Bobbi's TikToks

Bobbi Althoff TikTok 

Before she wiped her TikTok of all personal content, Cory occasionally showed up in Bobbi’s TikToks. In a since-deleted April 2023 video, the former couple made a promotional video for Bounty together. In the clip, Bobbi talks about how Cory tries to tidy the house, but jokes that she ultimately always cleans after him because he “always misses tiny things.”

“Today I thought it would be a fun idea to talk about our marriage,” Bobbi said in the video. “My husband sleeps downstairs and I sleep upstairs where the children sleep and I take care of them all night long so I’m generally tired so he does all the cleaning.”

He filed for divorce in February 2024

In February 2024, Cory filed for divorce from Bobbi, citing “irreconcilable differences” as the reason. He listed their date of separation as July 4, 2023, and checked off a box to block the court from awarding spousal support to either party.

Bobbi addressed the filing on Instagram, writing how despite their split, she would always love him and consider him a friend.

“As most of you have heard, Cory and I have filed for divorce,” she wrote in the caption. “As sad as I am right now, I am so thankful for the time I got to be his wife. Our girls are so lucky to have him as a father & I am so lucky to be able to coparent with such an incredible father and person.”

Cory and Bobbi's divorce was finalized in August 2024. They agreed to joint legal custody of their daughters and neither will pay spousal support or child support.

Lil Yachty Accused Of Unfollowing Drake Amid Rumors He’s Being Cut From Their Leaked Collab

Delve into the rumored tension between Drake and Lil Yachty. Learn about the possible fallout over a leaked collaboration.

Drake and Lil Yachty may be at odds with each other—well, at least that’s what fans are currently speculating. While the evidence is somewhat inconclusive, nosy fans believe they have the receipts to back up their theory that Drizzy has upset Lil Boat and possibly fractured their relationship.

The circumstances causing the rift, one might ask? None other than one of the Toronto rapper‘s patented leaked releases. To be more specific, it appears the mellow drama may have erupted over the “Super Soak (S.O.D.)” collaboration that Yachty gave to streamer Kai Cenat to leak during a stream last month.

The track itself has seemingly already caused more than enough controversy, between Soulja Boy responding and threatening to figuratively choose violence should the song end up being a sneak diss, and Yachty revealing they leaked the song because they couldn’t get the sample cleared.

However, after reports that Drake is readying the song for an official release accompanied by a music video, but not a featured verse from Lil Boat as expected, the track has begun causing a stair once again.

Now, it appears the scandal attached to the release relates to Yachty’s alleged reaction to being taken off of the track. Instagram users pointed out that it appears as though Yachty unfollowed Drake on Instagram shortly after the rumors began circulating that his verse had been cut from the song.

But it appears as though the fan theory is either half-baked or Yachty was fully cooked on social media and reacted quickly considering fans also pointed out that Lil Boat appeared to be following Drizzy again after being called out on the timeline.

Though it feels like a bit of a reach to assume there is trouble in paradise for this collaborative pair based on a pair of screenshots from Instagram, the situation could also be very plausible. Yachty did end up swearing off of the Internet, after being roasted online following the interview he revealed the reason why social media influencer Mr. Hotspot denied clearing the sample for he and Drake in the first place.

“We couldn’t get the sample cleared so I just let Kai play it,” he shared. Yachty also announced that they were not officially releasing the track. “But it’s everywhere,” he said, adding that Mr. Hotspot “went down like a Christian path…it was crazy, everyone was like, ‘Are you serious?'”

In a sense, it wouldn’t be hard to believe that Lil Yachty is somewhat scorned by Drake’s choice to remove him from the track given all of the effort he’s put forth in order to bring it to the masses.

Check out the post below to see the receipts.

Lil Yachty Unfollows Drake Amid Rumors That Their Leaked Single Will Move Forward w/o His Involvement

Looks like there’s some tension brewing between Lil Yachty and Drake .

Internet users noticed that the “One Night” rapper is no longer following his Canadian colleague amid claims that Drake recently dropped Lil Yachty from a collab they did.

Lil Yachty, Drake

Culture commentator DJ Akademiks first reported on the matter during a recent livestream. He stated that while his information didn’t come from Drake , real name Aubrey Graham, 37, himself, he has heard rumors that the “Hotline Bling” rapper plans to officially release the song “Supersoak,” originally recorded as a collab with Lil Yachty , real name Miles Parks McCollum, 26, and an accompanied music video without the latter’s involvement.

DJ Akademiks noted that the situation was “confusing” considering Drake gave the song to Lil Yachty  to use for his “Concrete” project. It seems things didn’t go as planned, however, as Drake is said to be in the process of an official release of the record minus Yachty’s verse. As we recently covered the rap star faced backlash after admitting that he leaked the song to famed streamer Kai Cenat despite outright opposition from content creator Mr. Hotspot , whose song the record samples. The content creator refused to clear the Yachty , Drake collab due to a shift in his spiritual life and online persona.

Drake never addressed the matter publicly and continues to be silent amid growing speculations that he and Yachty have fallen out. To add fuel to the rumors, it was also noticed that Yachty no longer follows Drake’s Instagram. Drake is still following him though, for the time being.

Mr. Hotspot Breaks Down Steps To Clear Sought After Sample on Drake x Lil Yachty’s “Super Soak”

For anyone who is still holding out hope to rock out to an official version the recently leaked track “Super Soak” by Drake and Lil Yachty, may be in luck. The unofficial low quality version has been creating buzz online, but it hasn’t been officially dropped due to a sample clearance issue. 

The song samples “Goodness Gracious” by Mr. Hotspot, who has outlined the conditions for its clearance.

He at least is making it known … Here’s what’s up.

During a recent TikTok Live session, Mr. Hotspot explained, “We recorded them a clean reference. We sent that in to them so hopefully, they re-record the clean reference and we come out with the clean ‘Goodness Gracious’ all together. It’s a process but it’ll be good for both of their brands like that and I’m blessed to work with children so we just gotta make it clean for them.”

Get this, talk about enlightenment, Mr. Hotspot, who recently underwent a religious conversion, emphasized the importance of clean lyrics for the sake of children. “We ain’t trying to hold them back from nothing but we just need the morals correct, that’s all,” he said.

ICYMI, the leak of “Super Soak” gained traction after Kai Cenat played it during one of his streams, prompting fans to rip the audio. Lil Yachty, speaking on Andrew Schulz’s Flagrant podcast, provided further context. “He went down, like, a Christian path,” Lil Yachty said, explaining that Mr. Hotspot wasn’t interested in financial compensation for the sample, leading Cenat to leak the track since there was no official release in sight.

Here’s how Yachty spoke on it further … ”I don’t think we got into money. He was like, ‘No.’ It was crazy. Everyone was like, ‘Are you serious?'” Yachty recounted, noting that despite the lack of clearance for DSP release, he and Drake could still profit from performing the song live. Yachty faced backlash for leaking the track, knowing Mr. Hotspot’s religious reasons for withholding official release approval.

For those who are not up to speed, “Super Soak” is the latest collaboration between Drake and Lil Yachty, following their October release of “Another Late Night” from Drake’s album “For All The Dogs.”
