Drake goes off at mainstream music media in new interview with Bobbi Althoff.
Drake returned with another sit-down with Bobbi Althoff, as the two have a conversation on various topics. The Toronto rap star stayed away from mainstream hip-hop journalists in the past few years, and he now goes off on “entitled” journalists.
“What we did, it changed a lot of things for a lot of people,” he said about the previous interview with Bobbi, which angered a lot of people at that time. “It was me essentially, like, just recognising somebody that I never met in my life, that I fully believed in, that I thought was really interesting, and that I wanted to have an interesting conversation with.”
He continued: “It pissed off, like, so many, all these f–king losers, these, like, storied journalists, like, this guy and that guy who feel so entitled to this interview, and, ‘Drake never does anything for this type of media,’ and it just made people so angry, that two people who… maybe have nothing to talk about, or everything to talk about, but just based on random energy, could come together.”
Drizzy then talked about how their conversation made other top artists for promo runs on streamers and different outlets. “[It] made people more comfortable to go sit down with somebody they’ve never sat down with before.”
He added: “The goal is not to be some unattainable d–khead for your whole life, you know? And only sit with Zane Lowe while he asks you the most curated and formal questions, no disrespect to him, but I think we did something that was special.”
Drake talks about why he doesn’t do interviews with traditional hip hop media.

One of the people who criticised Drake’s interview with Bobbi was Elliott Wilson. “I didn’t like the first Bobbi Althoff thing that happened. Once I saw that, I made comments publicly about that and then followed by that it was him and Lil Yachty. I said, ‘I don’t like these interviews, it seems like he’s gonna talk around things and not talk to the culture.'”
