March 19, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Bobbi Althoff has denied the claims she copied Funny Marco’s interview style, arguing that she had never heard of him before she started her own show. She discussed the accusations while speaking with the comedian on his podcast, Open Thoughts.

“I say to that, that you took my stuff,” she joked during the episode. “No, I know you didn’t. But to be fair, I couldn’t take your stuff because I had never seen you at all when I was already doing [videos].” She added that she found Marco’s work through a friend who described the two of them as “so similar.”

Fans of both had plenty of positive responses to the interview. In the comments section on YouTube, one popular comment reads: “That was a fun interview. Suki showing up was funny too. And Bobbi was actually smiling which is crazy. 10/10.” Another user wrote: “He gave real advice about the forms of supports, I feel like he broke character to have that real moment.” Althoff previously spoke with Marco on her own podcast, Really Good Podcast.

Funny Marco On DaBaby’s “Open Thoughts” Episode: “It Was Dangerous”

December 30, 2023 by newhiphopnews

During a recent conversation on Complex‘s 360 With Speedy, Funny Marco reflected on his first-ever episode of Open Thoughts, which saw him interview DaBaby. According to him, he learned a few lessons from the experience, including not to ask guests shady questions. He recalled questioning why DaBaby sounds the same on all of his songs, which looking back, he would have second guessed.

“It was dangerous,” he explained jokingly. “When I asked DaBaby why he rapped the same, I was trying to ask for the people. That was something I shouldn’t have did but I did it. But it was great. We ended up making a great episode, got a great relationship. But sometimes I’m like, don’t ask what the people want to know – just ask what you need to know. So that was something that I learned from that.”

While Funny Marco’s interview with DaBaby certainly had its fair share of awkward moments, it’s far from the only Open Thoughts episode to make headlines. He sat down with G Herbo and Southside in October, which resulted in a fairly controversial interview. As they filmed the episode, the two artists broke Marco’s $30K watch, called him names, and overall, appeared to be bad guests. Luckily, he was also able to use that situation as a learning experience and move on relatively unscathed.

“I was upset while it was going on,” he told social media followers shortly after the interview dropped. “But I understand I got a job to do & one thing about me, I respect people on my show. I didn’t want to match they Energy. It’s so many L’s I took on my Journey I wish I could show I don’t hide anything. So I feel it was only right to put the episode out myself. And just learn from that episode & move on. Thank who support me it’s a mindset thing.” What do you think of Funny Marco’s take on his first-ever Open Thoughts interview with DaBaby? What about him claiming that it was “dangerous” in retrospect? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Jaidyn Alexis & Funny Marco Chop It Up In New Interview

December 10, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Jaidyn Alexis has become the latest star to sit down with Funny Marco. The viral music star, and baby mama of Blueface, sat down to talk about everything that came to mind. The interview covered everything from her viral fame to her contentious relationship with the LA rapper. However, it’s a very low-key interview, and very reminiscent of Bobbi Althoff’s style of “awkward interview”. Despite the title of the series being Open Thoughts, Alexis is not the most open interviewee. Be sure to watch the full 20-minute interview below.

Alexis’ interview comes a few weeks after Blueface walked out of his own interview with Marco. In what was likely a staged bit, Blueface walked out of the interview after Marco was unable to name three of the off-beat talent’s songs. Marco got as far as Thotiana and it’s Cardi B remix but couldn’t think of a third song before Blueface called it quits on the discussion.

Funny Marco Speaks On G Herbo Interview Fallout

Meanwhile, Funny Marco has claimed that his interview with G Herbo going viral led to Herbo’s team demanding its removal. “Okay, Mr. Herbo. The sh-t go viral. Y’all seen it. Team then calls. ‘Take this shit down! Take this shit down!’” Marco claimed during a stand-up show this week. However, Marco said he refused the demand and kept the interview up. You can watch Marco’s full comments below.

Since the interview went live, Marco has claimed that the final product was much tamer than what actually happened on set. Marco alleges that he was called a “bi-tch” multiple times and that his guests broke his $30,000 watch. Herbo, who also reportedly threw a cup at Marco, has since claimed that there was no ill intent behind anything he did during the interview and that he was just being playful with Marco. Southside also weighed in, calling Marco a “b-tch” and asking why he was trying to start beef over the interview. Marco has not directly responded to either Herbo or Southside.
