Drake has randomly declared that he wants to be a guest on the podcast TANKSGODPOD, which he has hailed as “the only pod that matters.”
The show, which is hosted by Eastern European fashion model Luda Podgorna and an Italian woman named Elena De Napoli (both of whom appear to be in their early 20s), has next to no online presence and just over 100 followers on Instagram.

Using his burner Instagram account, @plottttwistttttt, on Wednesday (March 12), Drizzy posted two clips from the podcast in which the hosts play a game of “Would You Rather?”
He added in his caption: “PL$$$ INVITE ME ON THE ONLY POD THAT MATTERS.”

Drake, who has largely refrained from media interviews in recent years but did controversially appear on Bobbi Althoff’s podcast in 2023, also posted a separate photo of Podgorna, who he follows on Instagram on his main account.
However, the picture was shared with no caption or explanation.
It is not known what Drake’s association with TANKSGODPOD or its hosts is given the show is not currently available on Spotify or other platforms.
Fans were left asking similar questions in the comments section, with one commenting: “What the fuck is this.”

Another unimpressed user wrote: “A white podcast of course,” while someone else added: “It be hard to defend u aubrey.”
Drake’s curious love of TANKSGODPODharks back to comments made by Joe Budden about Drake pandering to young women.

Budden said on his own podcast in 2023 following the release of the 6 God’s For All the Dogs album: “[Drake is] rapping for the children. I had to look up how old this n-gga was when I finished listening to the album.
“You gonna be 37 years old. Get the fuck away from some of these younger n-ggas, and stop fucking these 25-year-olds […] Why are you still fucking the 25-year-olds? You’re a 37-year-old billionaire.”
The former Slaughterhouse rapper then unfavorably compared Drake’s career arc to J. Cole‘s: “Cole used to rap about kid shit […] And then he started to grow up. And then the rapping sounded like an adult rapping. I want to hear adult Drake rapping for adult people. That’s my issue with him today.”
Drizzy later hit back at the criticism in a private voice note to Budden that the podcaster read out on his self-titled show.

“You bringing up my friends and the bitches I fuck like you know anything about that,” Drake said, according to Budden. “Keep it music. I don’t give a fuck what you listen to in your free time because the people’s opinion I care about don’t have free time.
“I also don’t care if you like or dislike something, but don’t talk about my life and shit like you tryna plant some seed or paint some narrative and turn people against me. Talk about the music. If you hate it, you hate it.

“But you talking about I’m out here fucking 25-year-olds […] that shit feels malicious to me and I don’t do well with that.”
