Althoff started posting content on TikTok in 2021 with a focus on sharing her pregnancy updates.[6][7] Her first TikTok, which was of her dancing with a banana, reached nearly 2 million views.[6]
In 2023, she created a new TikTok account on which she posts comedic videos.[8] That February, Althoff announced she had filmed a pilot for her upcoming podcast.[6] The podcast, named The Really Good Podcast, debuted in April 2023.[9]
In July 2023, Althoff interviewed rapper Drake on an episode of The Really Good Podcast. Clips from the interview went viral on TikTok.[8][6][10] The full interview was later removed from Althoff's YouTube channel in August, which sparked rumors of a feud.[6][10]
Other celebrities Althoff has interviewed on her podcast include Lil Yachty, Mark Cuban, Offset, Shaquille O'Neal, Rick Glassman, Bobby Lee, and Sukihana.[9][11][12]
During her February 2024 interview with Sukihana, the interviewee appeared to confuse the words "musician" and "magician", becoming annoyed with the Althoff for referring to her as the former. A snippet of the interview that included this apparent misunderstanding went viral with 1.5M likes, 69k bookmarks, 124k shares and 36k comments.[13]
"I'm not a musician. I make music. I make music. And that's not all I do: I make music, I act; I'm a TV star too... ...I'm not confusing nothing. You don't know. You thought that all I was is a musician or whatever the fuck you said.... ...No, I don't think baby; I don't think. What's that? Is that ghetto? I don't think. I know."
— Destiny Lanette Henderson aka "Sukihana", 2024
In February 2024, deepfake pornography of Althoff trended on X, which raised concerns about the site's prominent role in the propagation of AI porn.[14][15][16]
In August 2024, Althoff announced she would be hosting a live comedy show at the Wiltern in Los Angeles together with Sukihana.[17]
Interview style
Alex Abad-Santos of Vox described Althoff's style as "unfazed, dry, bored in an ironic way". He wrote, "She asks her interview subjects what they wear, how they live, and what they like to eat, but doesn't seem that interested in what they have to say. She meets most of them with deadpan sarcasm and silence, making her guests live in the discomfort of whatever they just revealed."[18]
Althoff's podcast has been compared to Between Two Ferns with Zach Galifianakis and Chicken Shop Date, which also put their guests in awkward positions.[19]
