Bobbi Althoff has responded to rumors she slept with Drake after doing a surprise interview with him.
The TikTok star quickly shot to fame over recent weeks after conducting a series of celebrity interviews on her podcast with the likes of Tyga and Lil Yachty and most notably, the ‘Hotline Bling’ singer.
Drake doesn’t typically give away much of his personal life, and most interviews with him just tend to be promoting his music.
But Althoff managed to get the Canadian rapper onto her podcast, which they recorded chilling in bed with drinks.

With a less-than-typical style, the 26-year-old told Drake she’d never heard of his songs and even asked him to buy her a flight home after their chat.
The episode of The Really Good Podcast with the ‘One Dance’ star racked up a mega 28 million views on TikTok with just one clip.
However, after the podcast and its content went viral, eagle-eyed fans spotted the pair unfollowed each other on social media and Althoff removed the interview from her channel.
Plus, an audio version was removed from Spotify – leading to fans speculating there’s beef between the two.
There's even now been rumors that Althoff and Drake slept together, with another podcast adding fuel to the fire.
The BFFs Podcast team posted a clip to their TikTok which seemed to suggest Althoff had confirmed the rumors to host Dave Portnoy.
In the clip, the team had censored the host’s reveal of the TikToker's reply to whether or not she’d slept with Drake – creating a seemingly suggestive edit.
Portnoy had asked Althoff and she’d replied: “That is not true.”
When this original, censored TikTok was posted, Althoff shared an Instagram story with an uncensored screenshot of the actual conversation.
Portnoy also took to his own Instagram and TikTok accounts to explain he didn’t know the podcast team would edit the clip in that way.
He wrote on his story that his team and himself ‘owe Bobbi an apology’.
The podcast host added: “Our social media team edited the clip to make it seem juicy which is bulls**t. I freaked out on Austin the second I saw it. We did her dirty.”
The star has since removed the episode of her podcast from YouTube and Spotify amid the drama.
There have also been claims accusing Althoff of being an industry plant, which she has denied, having since
explained how she got the rapper on her show.
Following the success of an interview with comedian Funny Marco, she saw that Drake had liked the video and then followed her.
She told Cosmopolitan: "I decided to just go for it and shoot my shot. I DM'ed 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."
UNILAD has contacted Althoff and Drake's reps for comment.
