LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Bobbi Althoff has gained significant attention for her podcast interviews, which have included notable figures like Drake, Lil Yachty, Offset, Tyga, and businessman Mark Cuban.
One particularly distinctive interview took place with Drake while both were in bed. However, despite the evident connection they showcased on 'The Really Good Podcast', their relationship may not be as close.

She shared a video on TikTok from the It's All a Blur tour, where she can be seen amidst the crowd, arms crossed and her signature deadpan expression, while fellow concert-goers danced around her. She captioned the post with, "Really in my element @ this guy’s concert."

What are the industry plant allegations against Bobbi Althoff?
The viral video with Drake led to theories among viewers that Bobbi might be an industry plant rather than an artist who has suddenly been discovered for their remarkable talent.
An "industry plant" is a term used to describe people who haven't achieved their fame organically. Instead, their rapid rise to fame is carefully orchestrated by industry professionals.
These people are often selected in advance by industry leaders like record labels or talent agencies and are groomed to become stars. They tend to gain rapid and unexpected traction, often without a clear backstory.
Is Bobbi Althoff an industry plant?
In a recent interview with Cosmopolitan, published on August 9, Althoff dismissed the industry plant rumors and shared that she had created a TikTok video in which she offered to pay $300 to anyone who could help her connect with celebrities and bring them onto her podcast show.
She even created a video playfully mocking those rumors, featuring the text "celebrating because the industry planted me."
However, people are not entirely convinced. A tweet from user @98sThoughts suggests that Althoff isn't truly "self-made" and questions her honesty. The tweet points out that both Althoff and Drake have the same management. It also notes that Althoff is represented by talent agency WME, with agent TJ Bernady, and mentions that her husband is a millionaire.
"Bobbi Althoff is of Jewish descent and is signed to the same management as Drake. Her agent is TJ Bernady and she signed to WME without prior success. Her husband is also a millionaire. She is not 'self made' and she is a plant by definition. Not sure why she’s lying about it," the user tweeted.
