  • Drake’s Dream Girl: ‘Goth Baddie With O Cups’

    As Drake continues to roll out his upcoming album *ICEMAN*, he sat down with Bobbi Althoff for a candid Part 2 of their viral 2023 interview. While discussing various topics, the superstar opened up about his search for a life partner and revealed his unique criteria for his dream wife, describing her as a “goth baddie with just absolute O cups.”

    The Search for Mrs. Right

    When Althoff directly asked Drake about his plans for marriage, he initially tried to deflect, humorously pointing out the luxurious surroundings of their interview location. However, he eventually shared that he believes the right connection will find him, though he admits he hasn’t come close yet because “nobody believes.”

    Drake emphasized the need for a partner who deeply appreciates his efforts, stating, “I need someone who deeply appreciates the fact that I try really hard. That’s the best way I’ve ever said it.” The conversation also touched upon wedding details, including whether Bobbi should officiate and the possibility of a Jewish ceremony.

    A Unique Vision for a Partner

    When asked about his ideal wife, Drake admitted that his vision might be unconventional. “‘Cause it’s some tweaked out goth, kinda tatted all over…” he began, hinting at a preference that might surprise many. He confirmed he has dated women who fit this description, often finding them at places like Comic Con.

    He further elaborated on his specific ideal: “I really feel like my destiny is to wind up with a goth baddie with just absolute O cups.” Adding to this, he stressed that his dream partner must also possess a great sense of humor. Drake’s dating history has been a frequent topic of public interest, with past links to high-profile figures like Rihanna, Serena Williams, and Jennifer Lopez. He is also a father to his 7-year-old son, Adonis Graham.

    Beyond the Dream Partner

    The interview also touched upon other aspects of Drake’s life, including his feelings about “entitled” journalists reacting to their first interview, his experience with being arrested in Sweden, and more. The reunion with Althoff, who is launching her new podcast *Not This Again*, served as a way to “make amends” after their previous interview was deleted.

  • Drake Defends Himself Against ‘Culture Vulture’ Label

    Drake is addressing the persistent label of “culture vulture” that has followed him throughout his career. In a candid interview with Bobbi Althoff, the Toronto rapper expressed how sensitive he is to this criticism, feeling that his genre-bending musical explorations are often misunderstood and unfairly judged.

    Feeling Misunderstood

    Drake has a history of incorporating sounds from various genres, including dancehall, UK rap, and pop, into his music. While some fans celebrate his versatility, others accuse him of appropriating Black culture without proper respect for its roots. Drake shared his vulnerability on the matter, admitting, “I think I get real sensitive about that.” He noted a perceived double standard where other artists are praised for crossing genres, while he often faces backlash.

    He elaborated on the “guilt tripping” he experiences, where his intentions are often misconstrued. “People will describe the collaborative efforts that I have put forth and the artists that I’ve picked up or shined a light on as me taking,” he explained. “They’ll put a negative spin on it and try and tell me it’s a self-serving thing, and I think I get real sensitive about that.”

    Collaboration vs. Appropriation

    Drake views his musical endeavors as collaborations and efforts to build platforms for emerging artists, rather than exploitation. He highlighted his *More Life* project, which featured numerous UK artists and dancehall influences, as an example of his intention to give shine rather than take it away. Despite these arguments, critics have previously questioned his borrowing from genres like grime and dancehall.

    This conversation touches on broader issues of how Black culture is consumed and remixed in the mainstream. Drake finds himself at the center of this debate due to his significant influence and his deep engagement with global Black sounds. His defense centers on the idea that he provides credit and creates opportunities, acting as a bridge for smaller artists to gain wider recognition.

    A Viral Reunion and Making Amends

    The interview with Bobbi Althoff was also a significant reunion, as the two first went viral in 2023 with a deleted “bedside interview.” Althoff, launching her new podcast *Not This Again*, chose Drake as her debut guest. She revealed that Drake flew her to Europe to film the episode and “make amends,” ensuring this conversation would remain public, unlike their previous one.

    This reunion added another layer to Drake’s candid remarks, framing the interview not just as a discussion but as a moment of reconciliation and a reaffirmation of their connection.

  • Drake Denies BBL & Ab Surgery Rumors

    Drake is setting the record straight! The superstar rapper recently sat down with podcast host Bobbi Althoff and directly addressed the persistent rumors that he’s undergone ab surgery or a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL). Despite the online chatter and the viral nickname ‘BBL Drizzy,’ Drake firmly denied having any cosmetic procedures done.

    Setting the Record Straight

    During the candid conversation, Althoff didn’t shy away from the topic, telling Drake directly that people believe he’s had work done. Drake’s response was a clear and simple ‘No.’ He even playfully questioned his appearance, asking if his ‘wagon looked crazy’ or if he had a ‘fatty,’ laughing off the speculation.

    Drake also touched on one of the viral selfies that seemed to fuel the rumors. In the photo, he appeared shirtless and sweaty, showcasing very defined abs. He joked that perhaps Facetune might have played a role in the enhanced look.

    The Origin of ‘BBL Drizzy’

    The ‘BBL Drizzy’ narrative isn’t new. For years, fans have joked about Drake’s seemingly ‘too perfect’ physique in certain photos. The speculation gained momentum a few years ago when rapper Joe Budden humorously suggested Drake had surgery to define his abs. This, combined with ongoing rap feuds, particularly with Rick Ross, snowballed into the viral nickname.

    Even amidst his high-profile beef with Kendrick Lamar, a track titled ‘BBL Drizzy’ was released, further cementing the nickname in pop culture. However, it’s evident that Drake views all this talk about cosmetic surgery as pure comedy and doesn’t take it too seriously.

  • Drake Denies Ab Surgery, Admits FaceTune Use

    Drake is setting the record straight on those persistent rumors about his physique. In a recent sit-down with Bobbi Althoff on her new podcast, ‘Not This Again,’ the rapper addressed allegations of ab sculpting and even a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL), while also admitting to a more common editing practice: using FaceTune.

    Denying Cosmetic Procedures, Admitting Editing

    When Althoff directly asked if he had undergone any procedures, Drake firmly replied, ‘No.’ He referenced a shirtless photo he posted in June, which fueled speculation due to his seemingly sculpted abs. Drake explained that the photo was taken post-gym, and he might have enhanced it using FaceTune. ‘Maybe I heightened the saturation or something on it. I hit it too hard. They don’t look like that,’ he admitted.

    The conversation also touched on a moment where Althoff asked to see his abs during an interview. Drake playfully recalled showing them to her, and Althoff confirmed, ‘They look good, they just don’t look like that pic.’ Drake praised her observation, highlighting the accuracy of her comment.

    Addressing the ‘BBL Drizzy’ Nickname

    Drake also jokingly addressed the ‘BBL Drizzy’ rumors, quipping, ‘They call me BBL Drizzy, so that’s true.’ When Althoff couldn’t confirm if his physique looked different upon entering the room, he continued to play along with the humor.

    Beyond his physique, Drake also discussed the label of ‘culture vulture,’ admitting it bothers him. He expressed frustration with the perception versus reality, hinting at his significant contributions to the culture through early collaborations with artists like Migos and A$AP Rocky, who later achieved major industry success.

  • Drake Calls WWE’s Rhea Ripley His ‘Muse’

    In a candid moment during his reunion with podcast host Bobbi Althoff, Drake revealed an unexpected source of inspiration: WWE superstar Rhea Ripley. The rapper shared that his personalized social media feed is currently dominated by content featuring the wrestler, leading him to describe her as his ‘muse.’

    An Unlikely Inspiration

    While attempting to view Tyga’s Instagram page, Drake found his feed inexplicably filled with Rhea Ripley content. He explained to Althoff, who was unfamiliar with the WWE star, that Ripley is a wrestler. What followed was a surprising declaration: ‘She’s like my muse but — I’m the opposite of probably everything that she likes.’

    This revelation comes as Drake is known for his often playful and sometimes ambiguous public persona, making it difficult to gauge the seriousness of his statements. Ripley, known for her distinct metalhead and gothic aesthetic in the ring, is married to fellow wrestler Buddy Matthews, having tied the knot in 2024. She is a two-time Women’s World Champion in WWE, with one reign notably lasting 380 days, tying for the longest in WWE history.

    Dream Girl Description

    Drake’s comments about Ripley seemed to spark a conversation about his ideal woman. In another clip from the podcast, he described his perfect match as a ‘goth baddie with absolute O cups (big b**bs) that’s also funny.’ These lighthearted discussions are characteristic of his reunion with Althoff on her podcast, ‘Not This Again.’

    Althoff’s podcast is a new venture following the success and subsequent mysterious deletion of her first interview with Drake two years ago. Their reconciliation has led to this new platform where Drake seems comfortable sharing more personal, albeit sometimes unserious, thoughts.
