Core Event
During a live “20-v-1” speed-dating broadcast on the streaming platform Kick, Canadian rapper Drake selected cosplay creator Lin Lamar—known online as Pinkchyu—as the winner. In the final moments of the show, Drake told Lamar she could have “anything” as a gift and she asked that he purchase a house for her retired mother. Drake agreed on camera, and the promise was captured by the stream’s audience.
Background & Context
Kick, a platform that markets itself on chaotic, high-energy content, partnered with the gambling brand Stake to celebrate its ninth anniversary with the livestream. The event featured a rotating lineup of primarily OnlyFans creators, many of whom were introduced as “goth baddie” or other niche personas. Earlier in the year, Drake had disclosed on a separate podcast that his ideal partner would be a “funny goth baddie,” a detail that aligns with Lamar’s self-presentation and may have influenced his on-air choice.
Participants & Prizes
The competition included a dozen women, among them influencer Jordyn Lucas, adult-film star Lena the Plug, and various OnlyFans creators. The runner-up Jordyn Lucas received a Hermès Kelly bag and a $25,000 cash prize; Lena the Plug earned $25,000 and a vacation. Pinkchyu’s request for a house for her mother was the sole non-monetary prize offered.
Official Statements & Responses
Pinkchyu posted a video on Instagram showing her mother’s reaction to the promise, describing the moment as “heart-warming” and expressing gratitude toward Drake. The clip captured the mother’s surprise and disbelief, but no formal paperwork or real-estate transaction has been presented. Drake’s on-air pledge was framed as a spontaneous gift rather than a signed contract, and industry observers note that livestream promises often remain symbolic unless followed by documented action.

Conflicting Reports & Gaps
In contrast, TMZ reported that Drake is “making good on his promise” and that Pinkchyu can select a listing for Drake to pay. Billboard echoed the mother’s reaction video and presented the promise as a confirmed upcoming purchase. The divergent accounts leave it unclear whether any legal steps toward acquiring the property have been taken.
On-the-Ground Reports
The clip has amassed hundreds of thousands of likes, indicating strong public interest in the unfolding promise.
What’s Next
No specific timeline for the house purchase has been disclosed. Observers note that the fulfillment of the promise will likely depend on subsequent negotiations between Drake’s representatives and the mother’s real-estate interests, but no scheduled date or deadline has been announced.
