Drake, 39, is seemingly making good on a promise he made to 23-year-old influencer Pinkchyu on the weekend’s 20-v-1 speed dating event.

On August 8, 2026, the rapper hosted a Kick livestream in which he sat across from and interacted with 20 women back-to-back.

Among the women was Pinkchyu, real name Lin Lamar, an Austin, Texas-based goth-themed adult content creator with 2.7 million Instagram followers.

Highlights
  • Pinkchyu, the goth-themed influencer who competed in Drake’s 20-v-1 dating event, asked him for a house for her mother after winning the event.
  • She recently shared an update on the matter, along with her mother’s reaction to the news.
  • Drake has previously mentioned that he believes he’d one day end up marrying a “goth baddie.”

She won the competition, beating fellow influencers such as Lily Phillips and Lena the Plug, and has since owned the label “Goth Baddie” bestowed on her by the internet.

Now, she has shared an update about Drake that has sent social media users into a spiral.

“Bro likes gold diggers,” one person commented.

    After Drake picked Pinkchyu as the winner, he told her she could have anything she wanted, and she wondered if he would buy her mother a house.

    Drake agreed.

    In an August 12 interview with TMZ, she revealed that Drake was keeping his word.

    The interviewer asked her whether Drake had asked her to “pick any listing” and send it to him, and that he would buy it for her family.

    “That’s what he said,” Pinkchyu responded.

    “I listen to goth music and metal. I grew up playing guitar and violin. I was in a band. That’s the kind of music I listen to,” she said. “I was like, ‘This is so funny, because we’re complete opposites.’”

    “Are you serious? Oh my god, mija, I can’t believe it,” she says, before hugging her daughter tightly.

    “I think she’s just really grateful,” Pinkchyu told TMZ about her mother’s reaction after finding out about it. “I do OF, and a lot of the money I have, I use to take care of my family and help my sisters.”

    For her dating segment with Drake, Pinkchyu showed up in a black, body-hugging, full-sleeved latex number that exposed her cleavage. She wore a choker necklace and black boots, and had black lipstick on, going all in on the goth aesthetic.

    At the table, which had rose petals scattered on it, the God’s Plan singer told her he would do anything she asked for: “If you say do it, I would do it.”
