A snippet from Offset and Bobbi Althoff’s recent interview has sparked a debate on social media. The clip showed the former Migos member roasting the YouTuber seconds after what began as a normal chat. Although the bickering during Offset and Bobbi Althoff’s interview didn’t seem intense, it didn’t sit right with many, including Jemele Hill. Without hesitation, the sports journalist took to social media to voice her dissatisfaction, making sure to shade artists’ media teams.
Offset and Bobbi Althoff Engage in Back and Forth
What began as a normal conversation between Offset and Bobbi Althoff turned into an awkward chat with lots of bickering. On Monday, the podcaster took to her Instagram page to share a snippet of her interview with the rapper on the latest episode of Althoff’s The Really Good Podcast. The Offset and Bobbi Althoff clip opened with the duo beginning a cool conversation. The father of two asked the media personality what she did and why. In response, she noted that she interviewed people to get to know them. Offset then asked Althoff why she wanted to know him, which led to the back and forth.
Replying to the Georgia MC’s question, Althoff said, “I didn’t,” adding that Offset’s team reached out to her. However, Offset countered the YouTuber’s statement, noting that it was a lie. He said, “Don’t Cap, let’s not flex for the gram, uh-oh, C-A-P. Flag on the play.” Afterward, both parties agreed that they didn’t know whose team reached out first. However, the awkward bickering didn’t end. Althoff insisted she didn’t know Offset and had to google him on her way to the interview. The clip eventually ended with Offset roasting the podcaster with his reply, noting that he had to search for her on TikTok as he couldn’t find her on Google.
Jemele Hill Comments on the Interview
Hours after the Offset and Bobbi Althoff interview hit social media, Jemele Hill took to Twitter to voice out her opinion. The journalist made it clear that she didn’t find such interviews interesting or enjoyable. Hill said such interviews only highlighted how real Hip Hop journalism had gone down the drain. Hill added:
“Some of the media teams behind these artists aren’t interested in them sitting down with credible people who know how to tell stories and do quality interviews. Then they wonder why an artist’s real story goes untold, neglected or that artist is misunderstood.”
A tweep responded to Jemele’s post by noting that Offset’s team decided to have an interview with Althoff because of the exposure it would get. They added that such interviews were in line with the present times. However, Hill countered:
“Offset could sit down with anybody and people will be watching. He doesn’t need to lean on someone else’s popularity.”
However, many other tweeps commented with some advising Hill not to take the matter seriously as it was only satirical and not real journalism.
