Drake laughs off plastic surgery rumors and recalls a nine-hour arrest in Sweden during his headline-making podcast with Bobbi Althoff
Drake has once again found himself at the center of conversation, but this time it’s not about a chart-topping single or a surprise album drop. Instead, it’s a candid sit-down on Bobbi Althoff’s brand-new podcast Not This Again. The Toronto rapper’s appearance sparked massive buzz across social media, marking not only a reunion with Bobbi after years of speculation but also giving fans some of the most revealing stories he’s shared in a long time.
For many, the interview itself was a surprise. Two years ago, Drake and Bobbi famously unfollowed each other on Instagram after their first viral conversation on The Really Good Podcast, fueling endless rumors about a falling out. Their initial sit-down disappeared mysteriously from YouTube, further adding to the speculation. Now, their reunion felt like a reset — filled with jokes, honesty, and the kind of chemistry that instantly reminded fans why their dynamic first went viral.
From the jump, Bobbi leaned into her signature blunt style, asking Drake: “Why did you hate me?” He quickly laughed it off, clarifying that there was never hate, only misunderstandings. He admitted that during that period he carried the weight of public gossip and didn’t always see things from her perspective. Bobbi, in turn, revealed how online chatter deeply affected her personal life, even contributing to the breakdown of her marriage. Her honesty set the tone for a conversation that blended humor with raw truth.
Drake also used the platform to push back against perceptions that he acts selfishly in the industry. He spoke about giving opportunities to rising artists and how frustrating it can be when people spin collaborations as exploitation. For him, supporting younger talent has always been about mentorship, not manipulation.
Of course, the interview didn’t shy away from more headline-grabbing stories. One of the biggest revelations was Drake confirming rumors that he was once arrested in Sweden. According to him, the incident lasted about nine hours and stemmed from what he described as an exaggerated response by local authorities. As he told it, the arrest happened after a police officer’s partner showed up at a private gathering his team hosted. The rapper insisted nothing serious came of it, dismissing long-standing speculation about drug possession. With a smirk, he joked that since he’s scheduled to perform in Sweden soon, the authorities might “want to try again.”
Then came the moment fans were waiting for: the infamous abs rumors. Bobbi directly asked if he had ever undergone surgery for abdominal implants. Drake laughed and immediately denied it. “No, I never did that,” he said, before admitting the joke nickname “BBL Drizzy” had followed him for years. He explained that the rumor likely started after he posted a sweaty gym photo on Instagram with lighting that exaggerated his physique. Playfully, he admitted tweaking the photo’s colors, which may have made things look more sculpted than reality.
The tone of the conversation made clear that Drake and Bobbi still have undeniable chemistry. They effortlessly bounced between serious reflections and lighthearted jokes, creating moments that fans quickly clipped and shared online. The result? The episode surged into trending territory within hours, cementing Bobbi’s new podcast as one to watch and proving once again that Drake doesn’t need music to dominate the cultural conversation.
For fans, this wasn’t about beats or lyrics — it was about seeing Drake as human, opening up about personal rumors, unexpected arrests, and the ups and downs of relationships. The interview showed the softer, more self-aware side of a rapper who’s often painted as untouchable. And judging by the response, audiences are more than ready for this version of Drake.
