Following a viral speed-dating competition, cosplayer Pinkchyu revealed that another major musician sent an audio message barking in her DMs, mirroring a trend started by Drake, who also promised to buy her mother a house as part of the fallout from the event.
The Viral Speed-Dating Win and the House Promise
Drake hosted Stake’s ninth-anniversary livestream on Kick on Saturday, August 8, 2026, featuring a 20-vs-1 speed-dating competition that ultimately captured massive social media attention. During the broadcast, the streaming personality known as Pinkchyu—who lists her name as Lin Lamar on Instagram—participated alongside influencer Jordyn Lucas and adult-film star Lena the Plug. Pinkchyu made it to the final three of the dating game alongside Lucas and Lena the Plug, ultimately scoring the ultimate prize of whatever her heart desired as the goth baddie with absolute O-cups
that Drake had been attempting to manifest.
While Lucas was named Drake’s “bestieand received a new Hermès Kelly bag alongside $25,000, and Lena the Plug took home $25,000 and a dream vacation for securing a win in the
pipe” category, Pinkchyu secured the top prize after being picked as Drake’s match. The victory earned her a promise from the musician to purchase a brand new house for her mother, with instructions simply to pick out a listing so that Drake would cover the cost. Pinkchyu later noted that she and Drake did not hook up after the show, though they did have some good conversations at the after-party.
Family Reaction Captured on Instagram
On Tuesday, August 12, 2026, Pinkchyu shared a heartwarming video clip on Instagram capturing her mother’s stunned reaction to the housing news. The post quickly surpassed 240,000 likes as followers tuned in to watch the family process the life-changing offer, with Pink putting the whirlwind of the last few days in perspective.
The streamer told her mom, The first thing that came to mind was everything you’ve done for me and my sisters, and he’s gonna buy you a house.
The streamer’s mother was left completely shocked on the couch and nearly broke down before responding to the news with visible emotion. Are you serious? Oh my God! I can’t believe it!
she said. Pinkchyu later reflected on the whirlwind week in her caption, writing, I’m so grateful for everything that has happened that past few days. Thank you so much Drake and thank you to all the wonderfully kind I’ve met.
A New Celeb Barks in the DMs
The most viral moment from the initial Stake livestream occurred when Pinkchyu made Drake bark on command shortly after they met, with the 6 God taking a page out of his own playbook by barking on command for her during the challenge she won. That dog imitation has now apparently sparked a wider trend among celebrities.
According to details reported by TMZ, another massive, unnamed musician recently sent Pinkchyu an audio recording in her direct messages imitating a dog barking, just like Drake did. The content creator won’t name names, but she told TMZ that the mystery admirer is “pretty massive” and a “huge musician.” The viral content creator admitted she initially thought the bizarre message was a joke and ultimately chose not to respond because she did not even know what to say.
Single, Focused, and Unbothered
As for whether the mystery musician has a shot, Pinkchyu says she is single, but isn’t exactly searching for love. She stated that she remains focused on her career and doesn’t have much time for a relationship, noting that she already has plenty of company at home with her cats as Drake’s trend turns her DMs into a dog park.
The whirlwind events follow a busy year for the 6 God, who delivered his trifecta of albums—ICEMAN, HABIBTI, and MAID OF HONOUR—in May 2026, taking the top three spots of the Billboard 200. The Stake livestream also featured Drizzy showing love to Tate McRae, sending a warning shot at the rest of hip-hop, and revealing Father Duck was his first MSN Messenger username. As for Pinkchyu, her social media presence continues to thrive, with the cosplayer following up with a video post to Instagram on Wednesday, August 12, bragging about being Drake’s type of woman and quipping, Can you blame em,
as she showed off why he may be a fan of hers.
