Pinkchyu, the online creator who won Drake’s recent 20-v-1 dating segment, has reportedly said another major musician sent her a barking audio message, but the claim remains independently unverified. Pinkchyu has not publicly identified the artist, and searches found no authenticated recording, message screenshot, representative statement or reputable report confirming the alleged contact. Her verified online presence identifies her as a content creator, while recent coverage confirms her appearance on Drake’s livestream and the viral moment in which Drake barked after she requested it. The Guardian and Vulture have independently reported the Drake segment and barking incident, while The Sun and Times of India have also covered Pinkchyu’s involvement. Pinkchyu’s public posts include recent references to barking and direct messages, but they do not establish that a major musician sent the alleged audio. The available evidence therefore supports the background event, not the celebrity-DM allegation.
