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. Why did Bobbi Althoff delete her Drake podcast episode? 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. Bobbi Althoff & Drake unfollowed each other on instagram and she seems to have deleted any content from her Drake interview on socials. 🤔 When Bobbi sparked Drake dating rumours after divorce filing 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.' Bobbi Althoff shuts down Drake romance speculation—sort of 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. Drake tells Bobbi to 'unblock' him in surprise Instagram comment 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. Who is Bobbi Althoff? Bobbi Althoff is a social media personality and podcast host best known for her deadpan interview style and rapid rise to fame. Originally gaining popularity on TikTok for her satirical 'mom content,' she pivoted into podcasting in 2023 and quickly went viral thanks to interviews with celebrities like Drake, Lil Yachty, and Offset. Her show, The Really Good Podcast, has since become one of the internet's most discussed platforms for awkward celebrity interactions.

Supernaut by Black Sabbath
Black Sabbath's Supernaut, from their 1972 album Vol. 4, is less a song, more of a volcanic release of rhythm and riff. It delivers pure proto-metal ecstasy. From the moment Bill Ward's drums erupt into that hypnotic groove, you know you're on a crazy train that refuses to brake. Tony Iommi's guitar riff - dry, jagged and endlessly infectious - is one of his finest. It buzzes like electricity surging through a steel mill. Underneath, Geezer Butler's bass coils and snaps, locking you into a pulse that feels like it was forged under pressure and cooled in blood. And, of course, there's Ozzy. Ozzy Osbourne's vocals aren't the eerie howls of doom from earlier Sabbath records. Here, they're playful, defiant, manic. His voice rides the rhythm with fearless swagger, declaring, 'I want to reach out and touch the sky/ I want to touch the sun but I don't need to fly.' This is Icarus on bat wings. 'Supernaut' isn't just heavy - it grooves, it breathes, it celebrates. In the pantheon of Sabbath songs, this track stands especially tall: a gritty, glorious hymn to unfiltered freedom.

Your comments are proof why Renukaswamy's family needs justice: Ramya slams Darshan fans
Actress Ramya is once again facing a wave of online trolling for speaking out in support of Renukaswamy's family — the victim in the ongoing murder case linked to actor Darshan . Last week, the Supreme Court strongly criticised the Karnataka High Court's decision to grant bail to Darshan, questioning the rationale behind the order and suggesting it nearly amounted to an acquittal. Sharing a screenshot of this development, Ramya took to Instagram to demand justice for Renukaswamy's death, and wrote: 'SC is a ray of hope for the common people of India- justice for the family of Renukaswamy.' However, her post did not sit well with Darshan's fanbase, many of whom flooded her comments section with abusive and hateful messages. Unfazed, Ramya responded with a sharply worded Instagram Story that read: 'To all the DBoss fans — Welcome to my Instagram :) Your comments are proof why Renukaswamy's family needs justice!' This isn't the first time Ramya has been targeted. Last year, shortly after Darshan's arrest, she had posted, 'No one is above the law. No one should take the law into their hands.' That too had triggered a wave of trolling from his supporters. Meanwhile, Darshan — currently out on bail — has been on a temple run, recently spotted visiting multiple temples across Karnataka. He had also traveled to Thailand last week to shoot portions of his upcoming film Devil, and returned to Bengaluru two days ago. Ramya and Darshan have shared the screen in two Kannada films — Datta and Snehana Preethina.
