Overview
- During a 20-v-1 dating-style segment on Kick, Drake barked on command for a goth contestant known as Pinkchyu and then chose her as his top pick.
- Pinkchyu asked if Drake would buy a house for her mother and he replied on the stream that he would, a promise that circulated widely in clips.
- The short barking clip went viral within hours and drew heavy online ridicule focused on Drake’s age and public image.
- Multiple outlets confirmed the barking, the selection of Pinkchyu, and her post on X identifying herself as the “goth baddie,” while a single outlet reported a $400,000 house gift that has not been independently verified.
- The segment, presented during Stake’s anniversary stream with Kick and NELK founder Kyle Forgeard involved, underscores a wider trend of stars using live gambling-branded events to drive engagement and publicity.
