Pinkchyu, the content creator who won Drake's "20 vs 1" dating challenge last month, has given a coy response when asked directly about the nature of her relationship with the rapper.
Background on how they met
Pinkchyu, real name Lin Lamar, was chosen by Drake during the viral YouTube dating stunt, beating out 19 other women including Lena the Plug and Jordyn Lucas. Explaining his choice at the time, Drake said: "You're just like intriguing and you're from Texas and you have fangs. I just feel like I could learn new things. We're like opposites, but I feel opposites attract." As part of the challenge, Drake also offered to buy her anything she wanted, and Lamar requested a house for her mother, which is reportedly now in the process of being purchased.
What she said about their relationship
Speaking to TMZ about starring in Drake's music video for "Princess," Lamar said: "I actually felt like a princess!" When pressed further on the status of her relationship with Drake, she turned to her friends and said, laughing: "They know and they're telling me not to say anything! I can't." Her friends reportedly chimed in to insist "it's a secret."
Their continued time together
The pair have continued to appear together publicly since the challenge, including during Drake's FOMO livestream on 15 September, where Lamar gave the rapper a "Goth Baddie" makeover, resulting in him emerging in a spiked choker and black long-sleeve top.
Responding to online criticism
Following her rise to viral fame, older photos of Lamar without makeup resurfaced online, with some critics claiming she looked dramatically different. She responded by sharing a video of herself removing her signature look, writing in the caption: "The makeup is a statement, and some people can't handle that. I'm just glad my mama is happy."
