Drake may call himself the “Iceman,” but one “goth baddie” melted him so quickly that he was soon barking like a dog on command.
Lin Lamar, a 23-year-old content creator better known online as Pinkchyu, emerged as Drake’s final choice during his “20 v 1” speed-dating challenge on Aug. 8, where the 39-year-old rapper was introduced to a lineup of women hoping to win him over.
And judging by something Drake said nearly a year earlier, Lamar may have arrived with an advantage before she even sat down.
Dream girl a ‘goth baddie’
During a September 2025 interview with Bobbi Althoff, the multiple award-winning artist was asked about the type of woman he wished to settle with, prompting a surprisingly specific answer.
“It’s like some like tweaked out like goth kind of like tatted all over,” he said, before getting even more specific about his dream partner.
“I really feel like my destiny is to end up with like a goth baddie,” Drake said, adding that she would have “absolute O cups” – titanic breasts – and be funny.
He also admitted that finding someone who fit the bill hadn’t been easy, telling Althoff that he was “the opposite of what they want.”
Fast-forward almost a year, and a woman that fit that description was sitting across from him.
‘Would you bark for me?’
Dressed in tight black latex with a choker around her neck, Lamar quickly tested just how far Drake was prepared to go when she asked whether he was into roleplay.
“You can look me dead in my eyes…if you say do it, I would,” the Canadian rapper told her in the clip she shared on X.
Lamar didn’t waste the opportunity.
“Would you bark for me?” she asked.
Drake obliged, yipping for his date before she rewarded him with a simple: “Good boy.”
The exchange quickly spread online, but Lamar still had plenty of competition before Drake eventually chose her over the other women taking part, including influencers Lena the Plug, Lily Phillips, Jordyn Lucas and Plush.
After the challenge, she shared a photo posing with Drake and celebrated her victory, writing: “I’m the goth baddie.”
But winning Drake’s attention wasn’t the only prize on offer.
House for ‘my mother-in-law’
After choosing Lamar, Drake told her to “pick anything in the world” that he would buy for her. “You don’t have to decide right now,” he started saying before she interrupted and asked, “can you buy my mom a house?”
“I’d love to. Sure,” Drake responded before taking the flirtation one step further by referring to Lamar’s mom as his “mother-in-law.”
The answer earned him an embrace from his newly chosen “goth baddie,” and Lamar later leaned into their apparent chemistry online.
“Can you blame him for being into nerdy goth girls like me?” she wrote on X.
Yet for all the flirting, there was one rather unexpected detail about the woman who had just won over one of the world’s biggest rappers: she wasn’t much of a Drake fan.
‘I just remember you from Degrassi’
Lamar later revealed that her musical tastes lean toward goth and metal, and according to TMZ, when she spoke with Drake after the livestream, she admitted she didn’t really know his music.
“You know what’s funny? I just remember you from Degrassi,” she said about his starring role as Jimmy Brooks on the Canadian teen series Degrassi.
“I know some of his popular songs and stuff, but that’s how – from Degrassi.”
Her own musical background couldn’t be much further from Drake’s: “I listen to goth music and metal,” she said. “I grew up playing guitar, violin. I was in bands. That’s the kind of music I listen to.”
“This is funny, we’re complete opposites,” she added.
As interest in Drake’s unlikely match exploded online, attention soon shifted from their differences to Lamar.
‘Bought a whole new face and body’
Old photos purportedly showing the streamer before adopting the dramatic goth aesthetic she is now known for resurfaced online, showing her with a much more understated appearance, including short curly hair and minimal makeup.
The contrast quickly attracted comments from people marveling at how different she looked.
“Calling yourself a baddie when you bought a whole new face and body is crazy,” shared one user on X alongside an older photo that showed the woman before her transformation.
Others, however, jumped in and defended her: “Looks like she could have just lost weight,” another added,” shared a second, while another added, “A baddie that bought a face is still a baddie.”
‘We just had a lot of conversations’
When TMZ caught up with Lamar and asked whether she and Drake had hooked up after the dating show, she said, “No, no, no. We just had a lot of conversations.”
Lamar gave little away about what might happen between them next, but she said Drake intends to make good on his promise to buy a house for her mother, who’s “over the moon.” All she has to do is choose the property before he takes care of the payment, she claimed.
