Drake has made a direct request to Bobbi Althoff, asking her to unblock his name in her Instagram comments.

The message, posted to her Story and now making the rounds online, read: “UNBLOCK MY NAME FROM YOUR COMMENTS,” to which she replied, “I'll consider it.”

The Canadian rapper’s plea comes after months of speculation surrounding his complicated relationship with the podcast host. Their viral 2023 appearance together on The Really Good Podcast sparked everything from romance rumours to alleged feuds, especially after the episode was mysteriously deleted just weeks later.

Tension appeared to grow further when Bobbi was reportedly removed from Drake’s SXSW afterparty for arriving uninvited. The timeline became even murkier when she filed for divorce from her husband, Cory, in February 2024, having begun their separation in July 2023, the same month her Drake interview aired.

Despite the rumours, Bobbi has previously denied romantic links to Drake, sharing DMs with Dave Portnoy to dispel speculation. In a 2024 interview with Keke Palmer, she said, “He's a very nice person,” though neither have spoken publicly about each other since.

Drake’s latest comment, shared via screenshot by Bars, has reignited interest in their relationship—especially as fans question why his name was ever blocked from her page.
