In a highly anticipated follow-up to their viral first encounter, Bobbi Althoff and Drake sat down for a raw and revealing "Not This Again" Part Two, offering fans a candid look at their tumultuous relationship, personal revelations, and a journey towards reconciliation. The interview, set against the luxurious backdrop of Switzerland, reportedly at the "Birkenstock" hotel in Zurich, provided a "much more refined, poised, and pleasant" and "scenic, serene, and solid" atmosphere, a far cry from their previous, more informal setting. Despite the romantic ambiance, complete with mini burgers served in bed and a ride on "Air Drake", the conversation quickly delved into the deep-seated issues that led to their two-year estrangement. The core of the reunion revolved around the infamous falling out that saw Drake block Althoff on all platforms and remove their initial interview from YouTube. Althoff initiated the discussion, asking Drake, "Why did you hate me for so long?".
Drake explained that Althoff entered his life at an "interesting time", and he felt he "took a lot of the weight and blame" and "verbal hits" when she "needed to get a little active on somebody". He admitted being sensitive to being perceived as "part of the problem" or a "culture vulture" in his collaborative efforts, often facing negative spins on his intentions. He confessed that it "hurt" him when he felt their first interview caused a "bump in the road" in her life. He acknowledged being "extremely short" and "snappy" afterwards, admitting he didn't put himself in her shoes.

Drake - I'm Sorry
Althoff, for her part, recalled being "mad at you cuz I was going through stuff" and feeling Drake wasn't a "very good friend" during that time. She admitted blaming him for her life changes but clarified that their interview was "single-handedly probably the best thing to ever happen to me and my kids". However, the aftermath was challenging; once Drake unfollowed and blocked her, many of her scheduled interviews were "pulled", leading to public speculation that he had removed his "cosign". She noted the widespread conspiracy theory that their interview was removed because Drake played a Tiger song, which she denied, attributing the public's assumptions to the belief that "what happened between us was something like I don't know we had something bigger".
Ultimately, both parties expressed apologies, with Drake saying, "I'm sorry," and Althoff responding, "I'm sorry too".
The conversation offered a rare glimpse into Drake's personal life and vulnerabilities. He shared the "three really, really important stages" in his life: getting braids, a face tattoo (his mom's initials, SG, for Sandra Gail), and getting his nails done, inspired by Yachty. He even revealed a past arrest in Sweden, where he spent "3 days 9 hours" in jail after a private party where "one of the guys, like the officers, his girl came to the private party".
When asked about marriage, Drake stated he needed someone who "deeply appreciates the fact that I try really hard". Surprisingly, he described his dream partner as a "tweaked out like goth kind of like tatted all over" woman with "big boobs," joking that he might find her at Comic-Con. He also shared details about his son, who he says has an "eight pack" and is "way more locked in" than he ever was. Drake also humorously addressed the "BBL Drizzy" nickname and "ab sculpting" rumors, admitting he might have "heightened the like saturation" on a photo to enhance his physique. He currently owns an $81 million house in LA that he's trying to sell, and a ranch in Texas.
Althoff, too, was open about her experiences, including the logistical challenges of their European trip, where "everything was closed" and she and Lexi were left sharing "loin and cloth" hotel napkins as outfits. She humorously addressed **accusations of being a "drug runner"** with Lexi, recounting a chaotic airport experience where they attempted to "smuggle dope" through private plane TSA, which turned out to be "way more intense" than expected. She also discussed the public's perception of her, noting that "people swear that I seriously have the world's largest longest roster ever" and "think that I've slept like anybody who's who's interviewed with me". She attributed this to people being uncomfortable with "black guys find this white girl". She highlighted her dedication as a mother, recalling how during their first interview, she was "pumping out oh my god that pure white... more milk than that trip", humorously comparing her output to a "butter factory".
Drake believes their first interview "changed a lot of things for a lot of people". He argued that it fostered a new era of celebrity interviews, making artists like Nicki Minaj and other musicians more comfortable sitting down with diverse personalities, challenging the traditional, "curated and formal questions" of established media. He emphasized that the goal is not to be an "unattainable dickhead for your whole life". The interview concluded on a positive note, with both declaring their renewed friendship. Drake encapsulated the reunion's sentiment by saying there will come a time "where it's easier to do the smaller thing, the petty thing, maybe even the wrong thing, but the much more rewarding experience is to be the bigger person... and to heal anything that you've ever gone through and enjoy the benefits of a positive rebuilt reinforced connection". Althoff acknowledged having a "soft spot" for Drake, and in a playful nod to his ideal woman, joked, " and then I'm the goth girl you marry". The "first episode that no one asked for" ultimately became a testament to unexpected connections and public reconciliation.
