Drake has reportedly offered to buy a new house for streamer and cosplayer Pinkchyu’s mother after choosing Pinkchyu as the “wife” in a 20-versus-one speed-dating segment during a Stake livestream. A video of Pinkchyu telling her mother prompted an emotional, surprised reaction, and the story has drawn attention because it turns a light-hearted online entertainment moment into a significant personal gift.

Pinkchyu, who identifies herself online as Lin Lamar, shared the clip on Instagram on 12 August, where it received more than 240,000 likes. She was one of the final three contestants, alongside Jordyn Lucas and Lena the Plug; Lucas received a Hermès Kelly bag and $25,000, while Lena the Plug received $25,000 and a holiday. Drake’s livestream took place on Kick for Stake’s ninth anniversary, and Pinkchyu’s exchange with him, including asking him to bark on command, became one of its most widely shared moments.
