Bobbi Althoff breaks silence over podcast with Drake (2025)

Influencer Bobbi Althoff has broken her silence on her so-called feud with rapper Drake after she deleted a podcast interview with him - shortly before it was revealed that the duo had unfollowed each other on Instagram.

The 26-year-old's interview with Drakequickly went viral last month and saw her fame rise to new heights as the world reacted to her hilariously awkward chat with the superstar rapper.

However, it seemed as though the pair's unlikely friendship ended abruptly as eagle-eyed fans spotted that the podcast episode had mysteriously been taken down from Bobbi's The Really Good Podcast YouTubechannel, and other podcast platforms and the pair had unfollowed each other on Instagram.

Now, the podcaster has spoken out for the first time about her alleged beef with the music star, keeping coy about the root of their fall-out, but noting that the two are not having a sexual relationship.

Although Bobbi has yet to issue an official statement about the feud, she shut down any speculation that she and Drake had ever had a romance in a private message sent to Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy, who later shared the conversation on his own Instagram account.

The messages between the pair were shared after a clip from Portnoy's podcast in which he discusses a conversation he had with Bobbi was shared on social media - having been edited to further fuel reports of an affair between the podcast host and the rapper.

In his DM to Bobbi, Portnoy, 46, asked directly whether she'd been intimate with Drake and was planning to divorce her husband, writing: 'My girlfriend said you slept with Drake and are getting a divorce. I am saying that is not true.'

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.'

In his BFFs podcast, the Barstool founder discussed that conversation - however the clip was edited for social media purposes in order to make it sound more 'juicy' than it was.

In the original video, Dave said: '[My girlfriend] said that she heard that Bobbi slept with Drake and is getting a divorce so I asked her.

'I DMed Bobbi and she said, "I'm not commenting on that publicly but that's not true.'

In the edited clip, Dave said: '[My girlfriend] said that she heard that Bobbi slept with Drake and is getting a divorce so I asked her.

'I DMed Bobbi and she said...' before the remainder of the conversation was censored out.

Following the release of the edited clip, Bobbi took to her Instagram to reveal that she didn't want to comment about this situation, however, wanted to clear things up.

She then shared the DMs between her and Dave, where she notes the rapper and her didn't sleep together.

Dave took to his Instagram to issue Bobbi an apology.

He said: 'I owe Bobbi an apology. She's been in the news about her and Drake unfollowing each other after doing a podcast 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 bulls***.'

Dave then shared both the original and edited clip. He also shared his DMs apologizing to Bobbi.

He added: 'I want to apologize for the way that Drake edited clip was put out. I ripped our media team apart for it. Never should have been released like that. I just said that you didn't hook up, it was nothing at all until they edited like that.'

She replied: 'Then you put that on your story because this is so unfair and so messed up. '

He said: 'That's what I'm apologizing for, I didn't personally put it up, and I didn't even know it was made. Our social team did, and I freaked out on them when I saw it. '

Bobbi has yet to comment on the what the feud between her and the rapper is over.

Considering the 26-year-old's chat with the rapper had amassed over 10 million views on YouTube alone before being deleted, fans couldn't get figure out why the social media star would take down the clip down from her channel.

Followers of the pair were even more surprised by the move, since Bobbi had shared a post of herself attending Drake's concert just one day before suddenly deleting the popular interview.

In her typical sarcastic style, she shared a video of herself looking unimpressed at the gig while others were dancing and singing along enthusiastically.

'Really in my element here @ this guys concert,' she simply stated in the caption.

Some wondering if Drake had taken offence as one wrote: 'Maybe they didn’t like her disrespecting his concert?'

Another added: 'This why everyone can’t have clout. Drake blessed her podcast and this is what she does.'

'You knows I thought something was off about that interview. Especially when they took that dig at each other. Interesting,' one follower stated.

However, many quickly started to question whether it was all a publicity stunt as one mused: 'Maybe it’s just apart of the bit.'

Another stated: 'She didn’t delete it, it just went private. So that means it’s a PR move.'

'Everything is a bit. This I’m sure has been planned since the interview,' one fan added. 'It’s a brilliant move. Whatever PR firm is handling this is doing a great job.'

Another agreed as they wrote: 'She’s a marketing genius! This is for media coverage'.

Some fans made it clear they wouldn't enjoy the move being a way to get attention as one commented: 'Hopefully she’s not just doing this for clicks cuz that’d be wack.'

At the time of reporting, the pair still do not follow each other on the social media platform, while the only evidence of the interview on her channel as some 'Shorts' teasers which were released before the entire interview went live.

The former momfluencerfirst found fame on TikTok in 2021, after posting relatable content which focused on her children and pregnancy experiences.

She then launched her podcast in April this year, where she has been praised for her deadpan humor while chatting to big name rappers such as Drake, Tyga and Lil Yachty.

Explaining how she lands her chats, she told Cosmopolitan that Drake had liked clips from her interview with comedian Funny Marco and then followed her.

Bobbi chose to reach out immediately as she explained: 'I decided to just go for it and shoot my shot. 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.'
