Canadian rapper Drake took his online presence in a more unusual direction on Saturday, Aug. 8, by participating in a “20 v 1” dating event during a Kick livestream connected to a Stake anniversary giveaway.
The event was hosted by Nelk founder Kyle Forgeard and featured women competing for Drake’s attention.
Among those involved were Lena The Plug, Lily Phillips, Jordyn Lucas and internet personality Pinkchyu. Clips from the broadcast quickly circulated online, turning several interactions into viral moments.
One of the most discussed exchanges came when Drake spoke with Pinkchyu. During a conversation about role play, she asked whether he would bark for her.
Drake agreed and repeatedly barked, prompting laughter and becoming one of the defining clips from the event.
Adult-content creator Lily Phillips also appeared during the dating segment. She told Drake she wanted to rebrand herself as his wife, prompting him to respond positively to the idea of a “rebrand.”
The pair also discussed her appearance and work. Phillips did not ultimately advance to the reported final group, which included Lena The Plug, Jordyn Lucas and Pinkchyu.
Lena The Plug was another prominent participant. During the event, she reportedly gave Drake a “hall pass” and discarded her wedding ring as part of the interaction.
Pinkchyu’s appearance also remained notable because of the barking exchange. Reports described her as one of the women who made it to the final stage of the contest.
The dating segment was only part of Drake’s lengthy livestream. Reports said the event was incorporated into a $1 million giveaway stream celebrating Stake’s ninth anniversary.
Drake also used the broadcast to make comments about his rap rivals and referenced Roc Nation related subpoenas, adding another layer of music-industry discussion to an otherwise entertainment focused livestream.
The “20 v 1” segment has generated a wave of social media clips and discussion, particularly around Drake’s interactions with the contestants.
The event also highlights the rapper’s growing involvement in livestream and creator focused entertainment.
