I think I took some hits, verbally.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">He added: \u201cYou made me feel like our interview was the reason your life was bad. So I just said I\u2019m gonna get rid of the interview and you won\u2019t ever have to see it again a day in your life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Drake says the interview opened the floodgates for artists to sit down with more streamers instead of traditional media.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cWhat we did changed a lot of things for a lot of people. It was me just recognizing somebody that I never met in my life that I fully believed in,\u201d he said. \u201cIt pissed off all these f\u2014ing losers and storied journalists who feel so entitled to this interview, \u2018Drake never does anything for this type of media.\u2019 And it made people so angry.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Drake continued: \u201cIt changed a lot of things in the streaming world, it made people feel more comfortable to sit down with somebody they\u2019ve never sat down with before. \u2026 I feel like we did usher in the idea of you can be from two completely different walks of life. Celebrities, the goal is not to be some unattainable di\u2013head for your whole life and only sit with Zane Lowe while he asks you the most curated and formal questions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">While the 6 God remains on the road overseas <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/articles\/drake-partynextdoor-announce-ome-pecial-093507216.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:touring Europe,;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">touring Europe, <\/a>he and Bobbi delved into plenty of interesting topics throughout the 80-minute convo. Here are the top six things we learned from it.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">Defends Himself From \u2018Culture Vulture\u2019 Label<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Drake explained that he feels there are a lot of people who are \u201cguilt-tripping\u201d him in his life, although his intentions remain pure with how he\u2019s moving. The conversation moved into the \u201cculture vulture\u201d label that gets thrown at him, which he pushed back on as an artist who swerves into numerous genres and lends his platform to plenty of emerging artists.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cIt\u2019s the same way even in music. People will be like, \u2018Oh, you\u2019re a culture vulture.\u2019 Or people will describe the collaborative efforts that I\u2019ve put forth and the artists that I\u2019ve picked up and lifted up or shone a light on as me taking,\u201d he explained. \u201cThey\u2019ll put a negative spin on it and try and tell me that it\u2019s a self-serving thing or whatever, and I think I get really sensitive about that.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">He\u2019s Destined to End Up With a \u2018Goth Baddie\u2019<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Drake is still waiting to settle down and find the one, as he described his ideal woman as a \u201ctweaked out goth tatted all over\u2026 A goth baddie with absolute o-cups.\u201d When questioned by Althoff, he added that she needs to be funny and that type of woman can be found at Comic Con.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">Reflects on Spending Nine Hours in Swedish Jail<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Back in July 2022, Drake\u2019s team <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/drake-team-denies-rapper-arrested-050736338.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:reportedly dispelled rumors;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">reportedly dispelled rumors<\/a> he was arrested in Sweden. However, Drake revealed he indeed was arrested during his Swedish trip, which resulted in him spending nine hours in Jail.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cBecause I got arrested for nothing,\u201d he said. \u201cApparently, well, we did a private party and one of the guys, the officers, his girl came to the private party. But they arrested me way too aggressive and they arrested me for nothing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Drake actually rapped about the scent of a \u201cSwedish jail cell\u201d on Her Loss cut \u201cMiddle of the Ocean.\u201d He <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/HipHopTiesMedia\/status\/1609332055002972161\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:later posted footage;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">later posted footage<\/a> of what appeared to be him being detained by authorities to social media.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">WWE Superstar Rhea Ripley Is His Current \u2018Muse\u2019<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Drake often cites various women for creative inspiration, and his latest muse is WWE superstar Rhea Ripley, who\u2019s all over his Instagram explore page. \u201cMy [For You page] is just all Rhea Ripley,\u201d he said around the 28-minute mark. \u201cShe\u2019s a wrestler. She\u2019s like my muse, but I\u2019m the opposite of probably everything that she likes.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">He\u2019s Not \u2018Scared\u2019 of Returning to Los Angeles<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Drake spent much of the 2010s tucked away in the Hidden Hills of swanky Calabasas before building his Toronto estate. Following the battle with Kendrick Lamar, many have wondered when Drake would return to L.A. and Althoff asked if he\u2019s been \u201cscared away from L.A.?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cAm I scared away? No,\u201d he said, seemingly repulsed by the question. \u201cI\u2019ll be back.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">Denies He\u2019s Had Cosmetic Surgery to Enhance His Abs or Butt<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Drake faced allegations of having sculpted ads in June after posting a shirtless selfie in June, which appeared to have his six-pack edited, but he said that\u2019s not the case.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cNo,\u201d he replied when asked about ever having ab surgery. He also joked about\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/artist\/metro-boomin\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Metro Boomin;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Metro Boomin<\/a>\u00a0trolling him with the\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/metro-boomin-bbl-drizzy-more-144750607.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:\u201cBBL Drizzy\u201d diss,;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">\u201cBBL Drizzy\u201d diss,<\/a>\u00a0but admitted he may used an app\u2019s filter for the ab photo.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cI think it was just like I came from the gym. I was sweaty in that pic,\u201d he said. \u201cMaybe I like heightened the saturation or something on it. I hit it too hard. They don\u2019t look like that.
