Bobbi Althoff Opens Up About Judging Her Mom for Having Kids by Different Men: 'You Are a Hoe'
Bobbi Althoff is learning the hard way that the same standards we judge others by often circle back to bite us. During a recent candid interview with rapper Lil Tjay on The Really Good Podcast, the viral content creator opened up about the breakdown of her marriage, motherhood, and her complicated relationship with the past, including how she once harshly judged her own mother for decisions she now finds herself unintentionally mirroring. 'You Are a Hoe': Bobbi Admits to Harshly Judging Her Mother In the vulnerable sit-down, Althoff revealed that her current life path, specifically as a co-parent to her two daughters following a divorce, has forced her to revisit the judgments she once hurled at her own mother. 'I judged my mom a lot for doing that,' she admitted around the 13-minute mark of the interview. 'She had two baby daddies and I was like, 'You are a hoe.' And then I got divorced. If I have more kids, I'll have two baby daddies, and that's kind of crazy.' The striking confession stunned listeners for its rawness and honesty. Althoff didn't sugarcoat her hypocrisy. She fully owned it. 'I was married and stuff, and I thought we would be married forever, so I didn't think I was having kids in a broken home, but it happened.' The viral podcaster's self-awareness is cutting and tragically relatable for women who grew up under one set of assumptions only to live through a very different reality. The Divorce: Bobbi and Cory's Split Althoff's split from her now-ex-husband, Cory Althoff, was finalized earlier this year, following a July 4, 2023 separation. In a February Instagram statement announcing their divorce, Bobbi struck a tone of gratitude and mutual respect. 'As most of you have heard, Cory and I have filed for divorce,' she wrote. 'As sad as I am right now, I am so thankful for the time I got to be his wife. Our girls are so lucky to have him as a father & I am so lucky to be able to coparent with such an incredible father and person. While our relationship did not work out as husband and wife, we will always be friends and I will always love him.' The pair, who share two young daughters, continue to co-parent. But the marriage's collapse left Bobbi publicly reevaluating her image and values, especially as she now faces the likelihood of having more children in the future with different partners. The Drake Rumors: What Really Happened? Despite the amicable public breakup, Bobbi's divorce wasn't without speculation. A persistent rumor swirled in 2023 that the catalyst for the Althoffs' split was a rumored hookup between Bobbi and rapper Drake. The speculation ignited after her The Really Good Podcast interview with the Toronto rapper went viral, then mysteriously vanished. Not only was the interview abruptly deleted, but the two unfollowed each other on Instagram shortly after. That alone was enough for social media sleuths to erupt with theories about what might've happened behind the scenes. Althoff, for her part, shut it down. When Barstool Sports' Dave Portnoy messaged her on Instagram to ask whether the Drake rumor was true, she replied privately: 'I am not commenting publicly but off the record, you're right, that is not true.' Though the denial was clear, the internet continued to speculate. Bobbi's swift rise to podcast fame with high-profile guests and sharp editing had already turned her into a mysterious, deadpan It-girl. The Drake drama only added to the intrigue. The Mystery Man and Another Public Breakup Adding more fuel to the fire, Althoff appeared to 'soft launch' a new relationship on TikTok in December 2024, posting cryptic clips that hinted at a new romantic chapter. Online sleuths speculated that the man in question was NFL cornerback Sean Murphy-Bunting of the Atlanta Cardinals. Murphy-Bunting quickly shot that rumor down, clarifying that the two were not dating. Althoff followed up with another announcement: she was single again. Watch the full interview with Lil Tjay on The Really Good Podcast. Bobbi's monologue begins around the 13-minute mark.

Another Aussie music festival cancelled as Listen Out is canned - after concertgoers slammed the 'mediocre' lineup
Listen Out music festival is the latest casualty of Australia's dwindling music scene. The annual Australian festival, which has been held in Sydney, Perth, Melbourne and Brisbane since September 2013, will not go ahead for 2025. The team behind the event shared the sad news in an Instagram post on Monday. ' breath. This one's tough. Listen Out won't be going ahead this year,' the post read. 'We've always tried to build something special where the lineup reflects the culture and the energy flows both ways between the artists and you,' it continued. 'The last few years have been tough. So, we're hitting pause on Listen Out as you know it. But we're not going anywhere.' The festival will take a new form, called Listen Out Presents, which will involve 'one-off carefully curated parties in killer locations around Australia all year long'. 'We're still here for the good in a new way. We're not saying anything now,' the social media post read. The first of these events is set to take place in Perth in the near future, featuring 'some of the best artists in the world'. Last year, fans slammed the festival for it's 'mediocre' line-up and expensive tickets which start at $190 for general admission. Festivalgoers flocked to Instagram as the music fest announced its 2024 line-up which boasted 21 Savage, Skepta, Lil Tjay and Tyla as the Hip Hop headliners. Flo Milli, Jessie Reyez, Teezo Touchdown and Lithe will also take to the stage, with the electronic genre being represented by John Summit and Sub Focus. 'How do the prices keep going up but the lineups keep getting worse?' one disgruntled festivalgoer wrote. Another said: 'Wow could this be any worse? Skepta is the only good act and his festival sets are historically mediocre. 'Aus festivals clearly have no pull anymore but continue to charge through the roof. Guess all the basic ahh people will love that you got John summit.' A disappointed follower added: 'Is that it for the hip hop lineup?' 'Ain't nobody listening to 21 Savage man,' one person said of the number one headliner act. Despite the criticism, other fans flocked to the comments to praise the line-up with some saying Listen Out was 'saving' the festival scene in Australia. Listen Out is one of many festivals that have faced the axe in a spate of cancellations in the past year. R'n'B festival Souled Out was cancelled in February with all three shows in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane dropped. Victorian event, The Esoteric Psychedelic Circus Festival, was also canned. Likewise, organisers announced earlier this year that Splendour in the Grass will not be returning in 2025.

Chart-topping French rapper Werenoi dies aged 31
Werenoi, one of the most successful rappers in France, has died aged 31. His record label Believe confirmed the news, writing on Instagram: 'It is with immense sadness that we learned of Werenoi's passing … may he rest in peace.' The rapper, real name Jeremy Bana Owana, died at La Pitié-Salpêtrière hospital in Paris early on Saturday morning. A cause of death has not been officially announced, though French media have reported him suffering a heart attack. Owana was born to Cameroonian parents and raised in the eastern suburbs of Paris. After he broke through in 2021 with debut track Guadalajara, three of his four studio albums – 2023's Carré, Pyramide and Pyramide 2 in 2024, and Diamant Noir released last month – topped the French charts. SNEP, which monitors music sales in France, stated that Owana had the biggest-selling album in France in both 2023 and 2024. As well as collaborating with the cream of the Francophone rap scene, including Aya Nakamura, Damso and Hamza, he also collaborated with major names in the US, with Gunna and Lil Tjay appearing on Diamant Noir. He had been due to perform in Lyon on the night of his death. Earlier in the week, he had won album of the year for Pyramide 2 at Les Flammes, a French award ceremony honouring the best in rap and other music of Black origin. He was unable to attend and sent a video message showing his arm in a sling, describing a 'a big injury'. Nakamura and Lil Tjay were among those paying tribute, along with other artists such as Gims.
