Rapper Offset, one-third of the hip-hop trio Migos, may not have always held the spotlight when it came to the groupโs success, but all eyes are on him now thanks to a new interview with Bobbi Althoff.
Suggested Reading
For those who may not be aware, Althoff is the latest TikToker whoโs gained fame for her intentionally awkward and dry as hell podcast interviews (which many say bite off the interview style of popular YouTuber Funny Marco, but I digress). Previous guests of Althoffโs have includd Lil Yachty and Drake, but itโs her most recent interview with Offset that has people singing his praises for turning the entire conversation on its head with his magnetism, quick-wit and downright hilarious personality. And as such heโs become the talk of the internetโand for me personallyโmy favorite Migos rapper now.
But if you donโt have an hour to spare to watch the entire exchange, Iโve highlighted five parts that will hopefully show you why this man needs to be on my TV not now, but right now:
โHow Many Tattoos Do You Have?โ
Barely five minutes into the interview, Offset lobs his first quick-wit arrow of the day. When asked by Althoff is he had tattoos and if he could explain them, the โRic Flair Dripโ rapper starts by showing off the tat of the late Virgil Abloh on his shin. Afterwards, he explains that he has all of his kidsโ faces tatted on the back of his legs, to which Althoff questions: โWhy on the back of your leg? Why didnโt you put them on the front?โ
Offsetโs answer? โBecause I got they backโ with a comical finger point. โYou thought you had me, but you didnโt.โ
โYou Donโt Let Liars Finish Sentencesโ
Nearly 10 minutes into their talk, Offset proposes that the two of them take a shot together. When Althoff turns it down, he informs her that itโs rude to turn down a shot before she tells him that sheโs not drinking because sheโs currently breastfeeding her children. That excuse would have stuck if not for Setโs keen eye, which he then spotted a glass of wine on the table in front of them.
โI watched you take a drink, are you lying to the people?โ he questioned. โPrior to the interview. You forgot? Thereโs a cup on the table thatโs not water.โ
โI had a sip of it,โ Althoff admits.
โSo, youโre a liar? Youโre a liar,โ Offset responded.
When Althoff tried to get him to stop talking so she could try to explain herself, the โBad and Boujeeโ rapper quipped: โNo, you donโt let liars finish the sentence.โ
โI Couldnโt Even Google Youโ
Still barely under the 10-minute mark, Offset questioned what Althoff did for a living and why she wanted to interview him. In an attempt to be funny, she claimed that she didnโt and that his team was the one who reached out to hers.
โDonโt cap. Letโs not cap about that, letโs not flex for the โGram. Uh-oh, C-A-P. Flag on the play,โ Offset responded.
When a confused Althoff succumbed and offered that her team could have reached out to his but that she still had to Google who he was, the โT-Shirtโ rapper hit her with fire: โThey had to show me who Bobbi was. I thought they was talking about Bobby Boucher [from Adam Sandlerโs Waterboy]. I had to go on TikTok, I couldnโt even Google you. I had to go TikTok search, I couldnโt Google you. Googleโs not there yet, youโre not there yet. But youโll be there.โ
โYou Put That Together, Itโs Just Not All the Way Togetherโ
When the topic of conversation turned to fashion with Althoff questioning why he had on boots and a leather jacket on a very hot day, Offset flipped it back on her and wanted to know why she had on a โ2000s tankโ with an open white button-up shirt.
After Althoff claimed that she wasnโt as much into fashion like he was, Set countered: โIf that was the case then you wouldโve came out here with a big-ass hoodie on and some sweatpants. You put that together...itโs just not all the way together. But I could get it together.โ
Althoff then took that as an opportunity to get style tips from him, particularly curious about what heโd do different with the outfit she was currently wearing and well..just watch and laugh for yourself:
โYou Need a Little Bit of Seasoning, Youโre Like a Plain Piece of Chickenโ
Towards the end of their interview, when its clear Set has about had enough of her dry interviewing skills, the โWe Set the Trendsโ rapper said:
โYou need a little bit of seasoning. You ainโt got no seasoning, you like a plain piece of chicken on the thing, you pull it off, and then you serve the dish. You need some motherfucking seasoning, man. Damn! Iโm try to get you the play, you lost in the sauce. You ainโt shaking my hand, we trying to get you to $25 million, you know what Iโm sayingโ
When Althoff tries (and fails) to dismiss the Atlanta native rapper, he changes his tune and sarcastically calls her the โgreatest interviewer of 2023" and attempts to shake her hand again. Once she obliges, he goes for the jugular again in whatโs arguably the most hilarious moment of the entire interview:
I hate that I was today-years-old when I realized how much of a comedic gem Offset was but Iโm glad I did. Somebody give him and Cardi B a show NOW, Iโd pay top dollar to see them go back and forth on a daily basis.
