Pinkchyu, the creator known as the “goth baddie” from Drake’s viral dating challenge, accidentally disclosed her age during a live broadcast this week.
The streamer, whose real name is Lin Lamar, blurted out that she “just turned 24” while appearing on N3on’s livestream, contradicting her long-standing refusal to confirm the number. Previous reports had placed her at either 23 or 27, and she had deliberately kept fans guessing until the unguarded moment.
The slip came during a back-and-forth about her secrecy. Lamar was heard telling N3on, “I just don’t say my age,” according to clips circulating from the broadcast. N3on pressed her with a guess: “So you’re 25?”
“25?! I’m not that old, Jesus Christ. I just turned 24!”
N3on cut in, shocked: “You just said your age! I thought you weren’t going to say it?” Lamar panicked, covering her mouth with her hands. She then added, “My birthday was on September…” before N3on asked why she kept digging herself deeper. She asked whether they could cut the moment from the broadcast, only to realize that was impossible on a livestream.
Clips from the exchange spread rapidly across social platforms, with viewers fixated on her alarmed reaction and questioning why the revelation mattered so much to her. One critic wrote, “Honestly thought she was older.” Another speculated, “How much ya’ll wanna bet she’s almost 30 and used the 24 number to be more believable?” But defenders pushed back. “It’s been common knowledge how old she is yes, she’s 24 now,” one fan commented. “24?? Okay goth girl energy makes sense now,” said another. One supporter raved, “She’s beautiful either way.”
The fixation on Lamar’s age follows her sudden rise to online fame this past August. She appeared on an episode of Drake’s “20 vs 1” dating challenge, where she made the rapper bark like a dog on camera. The moment exploded across social media. She asked Drake, “Would you bark for me?” The rapper complied, and she responded, “Good boy.” She later embraced the “goth baddie” nickname that fans attached to her.
Drake, 38, promised during the challenge to buy her mother a house after Lamar requested it as her prize for winning. Since then, speculation about whether the two are actually dating has persisted. Lamar has deliberately kept that question alive. When asked directly about their relationship status, she reportedly gestured toward friends nearby and explained, “They know and they’re telling me not to say anything! I can’t.”
Before the Drake appearance, Lamar had already been building an audience through streaming and cosplay content. Her goth-inspired aesthetic has drawn both admiration and criticism from corners of the alternative scene, while others have expressed envy toward Drake for connecting with what they called “a goth baddie.”
The latest incident leaves unresolved why Lamar has been so determined to keep her age private, and whether the number she gave was even accurate given the conflicting reports already in circulation. Her fanbase, however, appears largely unconcerned with the specifics.
Lamar is expected to continue her streaming schedule with upcoming appearances on collaborative broadcasts.
