Probably few people knew Pinkchyu outside the circles of cosplay, streaming, and social media. But everything changed after the young woman took part in a dating show starring Drake and became one of the most talked-about participants of the night.
Her real name is Lin Lamar, she is 23 years old and is an American creator known mainly for her gothic aesthetic, her cosplays, and her streams on platforms such as Twitch. She also creates content for OnlyFans.
Lamar began building her online presence long before meeting the famous rapper. Her content blends cosplay, video games, art, music, humor, and an aesthetic inspired by gothic culture. Over time, she managed to build a significant community across different platforms.
But her big rise to fame came during the dating show “20 v 1”, where Drake went on dates with 20 women to choose his favorite.
During their date, Pinkchyu took the interaction into completely unexpected territory. She asked the rapper if he would bark for her.
Drake agreed.
The moment went viral and ended up becoming one of the most talked-about clips from the stream. But the biggest surprise came afterward: Drake chose Pinkchyu as his favorite among the 20 participants.
The creator thus went from being known mainly within the world of cosplay and streaming to becoming, within hours, the woman who made Drake bark in front of millions of viewers.
