Drake is once again juggling a lot of things at once, balancing new music rumors with a date with his "20v1" winner. Goth Internet personality Pinkchyu charmed him a lot during his speed dating segment recently, and it led to him reportedly renting out a nearly 200,000 square-foot castle for a date.
According to TMZ, Drizzy arranged for a date between him and Pinkchyu at Toronto's Casa Loma, a massive castle he reportedly flew her out for. Per a source who reportedly spoke to the outlet, they pretty much had the 98-room property to themselves. For the sushi date, the castle reportedly shut down entirely save for security, a bartender, and a server.
This follows Drake and Pinkchyu's viral livestream moments during their "20v1" time. She ended up being the winner of his biggest affection, and he promised her he would buy her mother a house. TMZ spoke with Pinkchyu last week, and she said the 6ix God is fulfilling that promise.
Even with trolls and haters clowning this whole saga, it's heartening to see this dynamic wasn't just for the cameras. After all, some of these stories die down quick after they get their viral play.
Drake & Pinkchyu Reactions
Drake certainly went viral with his Pinkchyu interactions, leading to a lot of debate and reactions from the hip-hop world and beyond. Charlamagne Tha God, for example, was one of a few media figures who clowned the dynamic, saying the Toronto superstar's choice of Pinkchyu shows "how white he is."
Drizzy barking at Pinkchyu also led to a lot of memes and amused reactions, and seems to be driving the negative reception to the segment. But these are just fans debating over image and aesthetics, as most folks just found it to be a funny moment.
Drake clearly has a type, as he was quick to prove after these interactions hit the timeline. Now, he's just following up on promises and further connecting with people he seeks to help and form friendships with. We'll see if there are more castle rentals in the future or if the next step is a new house.
