Pinkchyu the “Goth Baddie” -- Who Is She?

Drake apparently wasn’t joking when he said he wanted a “goth baddie.” Less than two weeks after Pinkchyu stole the show during his viral 20 Women vs. Drake dating stream, the rapper reportedly flew her to Toronto for round two. According to reports, Drake rented out Casa Loma, Toronto’s massive 98-room Gothic Revival castle, for a private sushi dinner with Pinkchyu, with only a server, bartender and security reportedly around for the night. The extravagant second date came after their meeting turned into one of the biggest memes of the month.

So, who is the woman who has Drake renting castles? Pinkchyu’s real name is Lin Lamar, and she is a 23-year-old Texas-based content creator, model, streamer and cosplayer who had already built a huge internet following before Drake entered the picture. Her social media presence revolves heavily around goth and alternative fashion, cosplay, gaming, comedy and short-form videos, with Lamar regularly leaning into her recognizable dark makeup, black wardrobe and “goth girl” persona. Her main Instagram page, @pinkchyu, has grown into the millions of followers, while she has also built a sizable audience on TikTok and X.

Long before she was sitting across from Drake, Pinkchyu had figured out how to make the internet stop scrolling. Her content mixes goth aesthetics with cosplay, jokes, gaming references and more suggestive material, including work on OnlyFans. She has dressed as characters from franchises such as Chainsaw Man and Fantastic Four, while also posting plenty of videos that play into the “goth girlfriend” character her audience has come to know her for. One TikTok she posted in May racked up more than 16 million views within three months, showing that her audience was already massive before this latest viral moment.

Pinkchyu has also started branching outside of traditional influencer content. In 2026, she began releasing music, dropping her first single, “Electric Invasion,” in June before following it with “Back To Life” in August. The releases make sense considering her online brand already pulls heavily from alternative music and goth culture, and they suggest Lamar is trying to turn an internet persona into something bigger than social media fame.

Then came Drake. During the rapper’s August 8 20-v-1 speed dating livestream, produced by NELK and streamed on Kick, Pinkchyu was one of 20 women brought in to meet him. She immediately stood out by pulling out Magic: The Gathering cards and talking roleplay with Drake, but the moment everybody remembers came when she asked him one simple question: Would he bark for her? Drake obliged almost instantly, the clip exploded across social media, and by the end of the show he chose Pinkchyu over the other contestants as the woman he would “wife.”

Pinkchyu’s night got even bigger after Drake picked her. When he gave her the chance to ask for essentially anything she wanted, she didn’t choose jewelry, cash or something flashy for herself. Instead, she asked Drake to buy her mother a house. Pinkchyu later confirmed that Drake’s offer was real and said the next step was simply finding the right property, adding another layer to a viral appearance that had already introduced her to a much wider audience.

And apparently, Drake wanted to see her again. According to the latest reports, he flew Pinkchyu to Toronto for a second date, turning what could have easily been a one-night livestream moment into an ongoing story. Whether the two are actually headed toward anything serious is still unclear, and neither has publicly labeled whatever is happening between them. For now though, Pinkchyu has gone from an already-popular goth creator to the woman who made Drake bark on camera, won his dating show and apparently impressed him enough to earn another date.
