Bobbi Althoff revealed the status of her friendship with rapper Offset after their viral interview back in 2023

Bobbi Althoff confirmed that she and rapper Offset are friends even after he famously roasted her on The Really Good Podcast back in September 2023.

On an episode of WTF with Marc Maron on Dec. 16, Althoff, 27, opened up about "being in character" during her podcast interviews and how she maintained that persona through her interview with Offset.

"It's fun to roast people [and] it's fun to have them roast you back," she explained. "When I did an episode with Offset, he roasted me the whole time, and I loved it. And it was so great."

She also confirmed that they "were friends after" the interview and was surprised by how seriously the internet took his comments on the podcast and added, "Why would I post [the interview] if you genuinely [thought he] was being mean to me?"

In the viral interview clip, Althoff jokingly claimed that she had to Google who the Migos artist was before recording, to which he responded with, "Let's not flex for the 'Gram."

"They had to show me who Bobbi was," he continued. "I had to go TikTok search, I couldn't Google you... You're not there yet."

The Really Good Podcast host opened up about the criticisms around her interviewing style and told Rolling Stone back in January, "It's definitely hard having so many people have so many opinions about everything you do."

"I think a lot of people think I'm just this mean person who says mean things to people. That's why I'm trying to make sure people know there's a difference between the interviewer me, versus the real me."

Althoff also opened up about dealing with the "trolls" after her interview with Offset and revealed she had "a hard time staying in the character" because "I wanted people to know I'm nice."

"I want people to know I'm this real person... and like me because I'm not like [that]," she continued. "I started to lose the character because I was trying to become likable again and wanted to show people like 'Oh, I'm a real person [and] I have feelings.' "

She added that she has been "experimenting with being myself" on the podcast to make her show stand out from "every other podcast."

"I wanna go back to what was fun about it, which is just roasting people and being roasted," she continued. "It's just fun like that."
