He also stated that the podcast appearance angered many other people in the process.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;It just made people so angry that two people who actually have maybe nothing to talk about, or everything to talk about. But just based on random energy, could come together. I think it changed a lot of things,\u201d Drake said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cIt changed a lot of things like on TikTok, it changed a lot of things in the streaming world,\u201d he continued. \u201cIt made people more comfortable to go sit down with somebody that they\u2019ve never sat down with before.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><strong>Warning: The video below includes some NSFW language.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cNot to take overly take credit, but when I do see somebody who keeps to themselves, like a Nicki Minaj, go to Kai Cenat\u2019s house, or I see these musicians go to a guy like PlaqueBoyMax\u2019s studio and start making songs with him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Ultimately, Drake summarized his mindset on the decision-making process behind choosing interviews. In short, he was candid about the fact that he doesn\u2019t want to be an \u201cunattainable d&#8212;head\u201d who only does interviews with curated questions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cI feel like we did usher in the idea that you can be from two different walks of life. Celebrities are not like [up] here,\u201d he stated, insinuating they\u2019re not above other people. \u201cThe goal is not to be some unattainable d&#8212;head for your whole life and only sit with Zane Lowe while he asks you the most curated and formal questions, no disrespect to him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">It\u2019s a great approach for a celebrity to have, and his comments have stood true in recent years. While he\u2019s taken part in several podcasts and livestreams, one noteworthy appearance came in Dec. 2024, when he joined <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=wEoWxVmKAec\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:streamer Adin Ross;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">streamer Adin Ross<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><strong><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/movies\/articles\/dwayne-rock-johnsons-perfect-1-195932858.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:Related: Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson's Perfect 1-Liner Headlines Emotional \u2018Smashing Machine\u2019 Message;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">Related: Dwayne &#8216;The Rock&#8217; Johnson&#8217;s Perfect 1-Liner Headlines Emotional \u2018Smashing Machine\u2019 Message<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><i>This story was originally reported by <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mensjournal.com\/entertainment\/drake-pissed-off-loser-storied-journalists-with-approach-to-interviews-streams-podcasts\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Men's Journal;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Men&#8217;s Journal<\/a> on Sep 4, 2025, where it first appeared in the <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mensjournal.com\/entertainment\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Entertainment;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Entertainment<\/a> section.
