Drake's surprising friendship with podcaster Bobbi Althoff seems to have come to an abrupt end — here's everything we know about their relationship and rumored feud

• Drake appeared on Bobbi Althoff's "The Really Good Podcast" in July.
• Clips of the interview went viral, but it has since been mysteriously deleted.

In a year full of shocking hookups and breakups in Hollywood, Drake and Bobbi Althoff have become the most surprising pair to generate headlines.

The record-breaking rapper and the influencer struck up an unlikely friendship this summer after Drake appeared on Althoff's podcast, "The Really Good Podcast." But rumors of a falling-out have swirled since Althoff attended Drake's Saturday concert in Los Angeles.

Here's everything you need to know about the drama.

Who is Bobbi Althoff?

Althoff is a 25-year-old internet personality who recently rose to prominence, largely thanks to TikTok.

As Insider previously reported, Althoff originally became known as a mom influencer but rebranded as a comedic podcaster with a deadpan sense of humor.

She launched "The Really Good Podcast" in April. Much like Zach Galifianakis' satirical talk show, "Between Two Ferns" and Amelia Dimoldenberg's interview series, "Chicken Shop Date," Althoff creates an intentionally awkward rapport with her guests, which leads to confused responses and funny reaction shots — perfect for going viral.

Her first high-profile guest was the controversial YouTube star Colleen Ballinger, also known as Miranda Sings. But she quickly began to land bigger stars, including Lil Yachty, Tyga, and, of course, Drake.

How did she get Drake to appear on the podcast?

Althoff told Cosmopolitan that when she started the podcast, she paid for access to celebrities.

"I made a video on TikTok saying that I would give $300 to any person who successfully connected me to a celebrity for a podcast," she said. "Rick Glassman, the comedian, was the first person I was able to interview because somebody tagged him, and he was like, 'Okay, I'll do it.' So I sent her $300 and did the episode with Rick Glassman."

She used the same strategy to book Funny Marco, another comedian known for his dry sense of humor.

But for Drake, Althoff did the heavy lifting herself after she noticed he liked one of her videos and followed her on Instagram.

"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," she said. "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."

What happened in the interview?

Althoff interviewed Drake while they were sitting in a bed together, tucked underneath a layer of blankets. She released the full video on YouTube in July, but clips of their interaction racked up millions of views on TikTok.

Although Althoff remained stubbornly indifferent toward the superstar (at least on camera), Drake seemed charmed (if a little baffled) by her attitude.

As seen in one popular clip, Drake giggled when she referred to Tyga as Kylie Jenner's husband and proceeded to play "Rack City" for her on his iPhone.

Althoff also made fun of him for asking if her use of the word "nonstop" was a reference to one of his songs. ("I got excited," he told her.)

"There's no prep, and that's the fun of it," she explained to Cosmo. "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."

Searches for Althoff's name and podcast skyrocketed after she released the Drake episode.

Why are there rumors of a feud?

On Saturday, Althoff attended Drake's concert at Kia Forum in Los Angeles. The next day, she posted a very on-brand video of herself at the venue, looking unamused with her arms crossed.

"Really in my element here @ this guys concert," she captioned the clip on TikTok, playing into the signature apathy of her online persona.

The video was also reshared by various accounts on Twitter, which sparked a slew of negative reactions. Critics described Althoff's schtick as "cringe," "annoying," "insufferable," and "unfunny."

Althoff's concert reaction has remained online, but as of Monday, her interview with Drake has been removed from YouTube and the podcast episode was scrubbed from Spotify.

Althoff also deleted the Drake clips from her TikTok account, although some are still available as YouTube Shorts. You can also find the interview reposted by fan accounts on Twitter.

The same day, fans noticed that Althoff and Drake had unfollowed each other on Instagram.

It's unclear what caused the apparent rift, but some fans have speculated that Drake (or possibly his label) was offended by her reaction to his concert.

However, others have theorized that it's all a publicity stunt.

Shortly after their mutual unfollowing made headlines, 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.

Representatives for Drake and Althoff did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.
