Rapper Drake is fulfilling a promise to buy a house for the mother of content creator and OnlyFans model Pinkchyu. Pinkchyu won Drake's speed dating challenge after participating in his "20-v-1" event, where viral moments included her making the artist bark like a dog. According to statements given to TMZ by Pinkchyu, Drake is following through on his commitment. The arrangement requires her to select a residential real estate listing, after which the artist will cover the full payment. Despite widespread online speculation following the viral dating show, Pinkchyu clarified that she and Drake did not hook up after the event, though they engaged in extensive flirting and role-playing on camera. She noted that they shared good conversations at the official after-party. Pinkchyu stated that she was previously unfamiliar with Drake's music career, recognizing him primarily from his past acting role in the television series "Degrassi". Following the broadcast of the dating challenge, Pinkchyu reported a significant spike in her OnlyFans subscriber numbers and overall digital revenue. Details regarding the specific timeline or location of the real estate purchase have not yet been finalized
