During a roughly three-hour broadcast celebrating the ninth anniversary of the crypto gambling platform Stake, Drake participated in a chaotic 20-v-1 speed dating segment streamed on Kick. Hosted alongside Nelk Boys co-founder Kyle Forgeard, the event featured 20 contestants vying for Drake’s attention, including internet personalities Lena the Plug and Jordyn Lucas.
The standout moment arrived when Drake met a streamer and OnlyFans model known as Pinkchyu. Arriving in a black spandex dress, pale makeup, and a spiked choker, Pinkchyu instantly captured the rapper’s attention, perfectly matching his previously stated desire for a gothic baddie.
The Barking Incident That Broke the Internet
Mid-conversation, the interaction turned highly unconventional when Pinkchyu asked Drake if he would bark for her.
The one thing I would do would be anything you want, Drake reportedly stated during the roleplay. So you just get to pick one thing, anything in the world, and I’ll buy it for you. When Pinkchyu specifically challenged him to bark, Drake immediately complied, barking multiple times like a dog, to which Pinkchyu responded, Good boy!
The clip instantly spread across social media, drawing widespread commentary—especially since fans were quick to dig up an old clip where Drake advised streamer IShowSpeed against barking at women. Reacting to his own apparent hypocrisy, Drake later posted to his Instagram Story, Darren… I retract my statement.
A Heartfelt Pivot: A $400,000 House for Retirement
After cycling through all the contestants, Drake selected Pinkchyu (real name Lin Lamar) as the overall winner and his fictional wife for the segment. Honoring his earlier promise to give her anything she wanted, the interaction shifted from comedic roleplay to a genuinely heartfelt moment.
Rather than asking for designer clothes or a lavish prize for herself, Pinkchyu asked: Would you buy my mom a house? Cause she’s wanting to retire and I just want to help her.
Drake immediately agreed, telling the streamer: Oh yeah. I’d love to… Okay, we’ll figure it out.
According to reports, the rapper has instructed Pinkchyu to select a listing of her choice up to a value of $400,000, and once a property is chosen, Drake’s team will handle the payment. Pinkchyu later told TMZ that Drake intends to keep his promise and buy the new home for her mother.
Online Backlash and the Catfishing Controversy
Despite the heartwarming real estate gesture, Pinkchyu’s viral moment has also triggered significant online harassment. After declaring herself the goth baddie on X (formerly Twitter) alongside a photo with the rapper, critics launched personal attacks regarding her appearance and career.
Users began circulating older photos of the content creator, accusing her of catfishing, being a fake goth, and merely adopting the aesthetic for clout. Furthermore, the heightened visibility brought renewed attention to a past legal dispute; in January 2026, Pinkchyu was granted a 10-year civil protective order against her former partner, streamer Tectone, following allegations of abuse and stalking (which Tectone disputed).
For Drake, the Stake livestream served as a massive promotional vehicle, with over $1 million in cash and prizes given away, but it was his willingness to play along with Pinkchyu’s roleplay—and his staggering $400,000 real estate promise—that ensured the 20-v-1 broadcast won’t be forgotten anytime soon.
Who Is Pinkchyu? The Background of Drake’s Viral ‘Goth Baddie’
OnlyFans content creator and streamer Pinkchyu, real name Lin Lamar, participated in Drake’s 20-v-1 speed dating show and managed to come out on top. Born on September 17, she is an American cosplayer, voice actress, artist, musician and former VTuber. Lamar has built an online following under the Pinkchyu name, combining music, streaming and cosplay-focused content across social media platforms.
From Fortnite to VRChat Roleplay
Pink started out as a Fortnite streamer, often hopping into matches with players from her Twitch chat. Since mid-2019, she switched from primarily playing Fortnite to learning to draw digital art instead. She creates lifelike portraits of famous singers which she posts to her TikTok account. Alongside art, she can also play the guitar, the violin, and sing.
Joining The Gator Crew in 2020, she often participates in elimination dating, roleplay, and other events at The Golden Gator.
Cosplay and Online Success
Aside from appearing on Drake’s 20-v-1 dating show, Pinkchyu is a musician and a content creator on TikTok. She places a strong focus on her cosplay content, typically dressing up as characters like Sue Storm from Fantastic 4, or Makima from the wildly popular manga and anime series Chainsaw Man. She is primarily active on Twitch, while her YouTube channel is currently dedicated to clips and highlights of her Twitch streams.
Online Backlash over the Goth Aesthetic
Following the Kick event, internet users began digging into Pinkchyu’s past photos, including images showing her without makeup. Some users questioned whether her goth appearance was genuine, claiming she was merely adopting the subculture. Despite the fake goth allegations and critics labeling her a clout-chaser, she proudly claimed her title on X (formerly Twitter), writing: I’m the goth baddie.
