Drake and Bobbi Althoff fallout explained as the duo rekindles their friendship two years after dating rumours and podcast drama

Drake and Bobbi Althoff’s relationship started with major internet attention when the rapper appeared on The Really Good Podcast in July 2023. The awkward, dry-toned banter between them went viral almost instantly, helping Bobbi skyrocket from a niche TikToker to one of the most talked-about podcast hosts online. For many, it was the first time seeing the Hotline Bling appear in such a stripped-down, casual setting and it worked.


But just as fans were rewatching clips on loop, the full video mysteriously vanished. Bobbi deleted the Drake episode only a month after it aired, and no real explanation was given. That decision quickly fuelled speculation online, with many assuming some kind of behind-the-scenes drama had gone down between the two. Theories about a fallout started circulating on social media, made worse when Bobbi was reportedly kicked out of Drake’s SXSW afterparty for showing up without an invite. The duo also ended up unfollowing each other on social media, sparking further speculations.


The timeline only got messier. In February 2024, Bobbi Althoff filed for divorce from her husband, Cory, with whom she shares two daughters, while also revealing that they had separated in July 2023. That’s the exact same month her interview with Drake dropped, leading fans to connect dots that may or may not be real. Romance rumours flooded TikTok and Reddit, but Bobbi was quick to shut them down. She even posted a private DM exchange with Barstool’s Dave Portnoy, writing, “I did not want to do this podcast in the first place, and now so much negativity is coming from it.”


Despite the rumours, both Bobbi and Drake stayed publicly silent about each other for months. The only hint of closure came during a January 2024 interview with Keke Palmer, where Bobbi briefly addressed her experience with the rapper. “He’s a very nice person,” she said, offering neither confirmation nor denial, just a neutral statement that didn’t add much to the mystery.


Then came a surprising twist. Recently, Bobbi shared a screenshot of a comment Drake left on one of her Instagram posts: “UNBLOCK MY NAME FROM YOUR COMMENTS.” Her dry response? “I’ll consider it.” While no one knows why his name was blocked to begin with, the interaction was enough to get fans speculating all over again. It’s unclear if the comment was serious or playful, but it was the first public acknowledgement between the two in years, suggesting maybe their alleged beef is cooling off.
