From “Degrassi” to the “Goth Baddie”: How a Viral Streamer Won Over Drake
Drake may brand himself as the unshakeable “Iceman,” but it took just one self-proclaimed “goth baddie” to have the global superstar yipping like an obedient pup on command.
The unexpected spectacle unfolded during a high-profile “20 v 1” speed-dating challenge, where the 39-year-old Canadian rapper was presented with a lineup of 20 glamorous women competing for his undivided attention. The last woman standing was Lin Lamar—a 23-year-old content creator and streamer known online as Pinkchyu.
Yet, looking back at Drake’s past interviews, Lamar’s victory almost felt written in the stars long before she stepped onto the set.
Manifesting the “Dream Girl”
Nearly a year prior, during a September 2025 interview with popular podcaster Bobbi Althoff, the multi-award-winning artist gave a surprisingly detailed description of his ideal life partner.
“It’s like some like tweaked out like goth kind of like tatted all over,” Drake confessed at the time, going into vivid detail about his specific taste. “I really feel like my destiny is to end up with like a goth baddie.” He added that his dream woman would boast “titanic” curves, possess a great sense of humor, and admitted with a laugh that finding her had been difficult because he felt he was “the opposite of what they want.”
Fast-forward nearly twelve months, and his exact description walked into the room.
“Would You Bark for Me?”
Dressed in figure-hugging black latex complete with a studded choker, Lamar wasted no time testing the hip-hop icon’s boundaries. Stepping into the hot seat, she immediately turned the conversation toward roleplay.
“You can look me dead in my eyes… if you say do it, I would,” Drake assured her in a clip that rapidly went viral across social media.
Lamar seized the moment without hesitation: “Would you bark for me?”
Without skipping a beat, the megastar obliged, letting out a series of obedient yips. Lamar calmly rewarded the multi-millionaire artist with a simple, sharp evaluation: “Good boy.”
Despite stiff competition from established online personalities like Lena the Plug, Lily Phillips, Jordyn Lucas, and Plush, Lamar ultimately won the challenge. Celebrating her victory online alongside a photo next to the rapper, she proudly declared: “I’m the goth baddie.”

A House for the “Mother-in-Law”
The prize for winning Drake’s affection wasn’t just internet bragging rights. Following her victory, Drake offered to buy Lamar virtually anything she wanted in the world.
Before he could finish outlining the offer, Lamar cut straight to the point: “Can you buy my mom a house?”
“I’d love to. Sure,” Drake answered, leaning into the romance by referring to Lamar’s mother as his future “mother-in-law.”
The generous offer earned him a warm embrace from the streamer, who later teased her followers on X: “Can you blame him for being into nerdy goth girls like me?”
“I Just Remember You from Degrassi”
Despite their intense on-camera chemistry, a hilarious reality soon surfaced: Lamar wasn’t actually a fan of Drake’s record-breaking discography.
According to reports, when the two spoke privately after the livestream wrapped, Lamar candidly admitted that her musical roots lay in alternative rock, heavy metal, and classical instruments like the guitar and violin. As for Drake? She primarily recognized him from his early 2000s acting gig as Jimmy Brooks on the teenage drama series Degrassi: The Next Generation.
“You know what’s funny? I just remember you from Degrassi,” she admitted. “I know some of his popular songs and stuff, but that’s how—from Degrassi… We’re complete opposites.”
Resurfaced Photos and Plastic Surgery Rumors
As curiosity surrounding the streamer exploded, internet sleuths began digging into her past. Old photos purportedly showing Lamar prior to adopting her signature alt-goth aesthetic quickly began circulating online. The throwback images depicted a much more understated look, featuring short curly hair and minimal makeup.
The stark visual difference sparked intense debate across comment sections, with critics accusing her of undergoing extensive cosmetic transformations. “Calling yourself a baddie when you bought a whole new face and body is crazy,” one user wrote.
Fans quickly stepped in to defend the creator, pointing out that natural weight loss, makeup techniques, and styling changes could easily account for the shift, with one fan countering: “A baddie that bought a face is still a baddie.”

Where Do They Stand Now?
When questioned about whether their instant connection led to anything physical after the cameras stopped rolling, Lamar set the record straight, clarifying that their interaction remained strictly conversational.
“No, no, no. We just had a lot of conversations,” she revealed, keeping details about a potential future relationship under wraps.
She did, however, confirm that Drake fully intends to follow through on his promise to buy her mother a brand-new home. According to Lamar, her mother is “over the moon,” and all that remains is picking out the right property before the rap titan settles the bill.
