Drake is really buying a house for the mom of Pinkchyu, the goth streamer who won his live dating show over the weekend and left the internet buzzing. The rapper made the promise on the spot, and the content creator says he is following through.
Who is Pinkchyu?
Pinkchyu, whose real name is Lin Lamar, is a content creator and OnlyFans model known for her goth aesthetic. She shot to global fame over the weekend after making it to the final three of Drake’s 20 vs 1 dating challenge, alongside Lena the Plug and Jordyn Lucas, as reported by LADbible.
The live show aired on Kick with the NELK crew, and Pinkchyu instantly stood out. Fans who have followed the rapper’s Drake vs Kendrick Lamar feud coverage will recognize his dating-show formula: he narrowed a field of contestants, and only a few made it through.
The moment Drake barked
Drake was visibly smitten, and the clip that broke the internet is him barking on command for Pinkchyu during the stream. The two bonded over Magic: The Gathering cards, and fans were quick to point out she matches the goth baddie type Drake has talked about for years, per E! News.
The bark became the signature moment of the night, racking up millions of views across social media and turning Pinkchyu into an overnight celebrity. Cosplayers, streamers, and even fellow creators weighed in on whether the pairing was real.
Her prize: a house for her mom
As a prize for making it to his final three, Drake offered the winners anything they wanted. Pinkchyu did not ask for cash or a car; she asked him to buy her mother a house, and he happily agreed.
She filmed her mom’s reaction when she broke the news, and the emotional clip shows her mother putting her hands to her face in shock and squealing, “Are you serious?” before the two embraced in a deep hug. In an exclusive with TMZ, Pinkchyu confirmed the rapper is really making good on the promise, and all she has to do is send him a listing she wants.
“We’re complete opposites”
Despite the viral chemistry, Pinkchyu told TMZ the two have not gone further: “No, no, no. We just had a lot of conversations.” She also revealed she told Drake she mainly remembers him from Degrassi, the Canadian teen series where he played Jimmy Brooks for 145 episodes.
She is not a big fan of his music either. “I listen to goth music and metal. I grew up playing guitar, violin. I was in bands,” she said. “This is funny, we’re complete opposites.” Pinkchyu added that much of the money she makes in her career goes toward supporting her family, which made the house prize hit even harder.
The Tectone chapter
Pinkchyu’s sudden fame also resurfaced a darker chapter from her past. In November 2024, she accused her ex-boyfriend, streamer Tectone, of sexual assault, allegations Tectone has publicly responded to. The story roared back in January 2026 when the video “The Tectone Files” detailed court filings, including a protective order and a suspension to carry a firearm.
Now that she is linked to Drake, the old drama is colliding with her new spotlight, and streamers from QTCinderella to Mizkif have weighed in on the controversy. It is the latest twist in a summer full of streamer drama, but for now Pinkchyu is focused on the win: a house for her mom, a viral moment, and a rapper who barked his way into her story.
