Drake hosts viral Kick livestream featuring dating show and rap disses
Rapper Drake hosted a high-profile, three-hour livestream on Kick to celebrate the ninth anniversary of the crypto gambling platform Stake. The event, which featured over $1 million in prizes, included a viral “20-v-1” dating segment produced by NELK co-founder Kyle Forgeard.
During the dating segment, Drake engaged in several notable interactions. He famously barked on command for goth streamer Pinkchyu, whom he ultimately selected as his “wife” for the segment. In a heartfelt moment, Drake pledged to buy Pinkchyu’s mother a house. Other contestants included influencer Jordyn Lucas, who received $25,000 and a Birkin bag, and adult content creator Lena the Plug, who was awarded $25,000 and a trip to New Zealand.
Beyond the entertainment segments, Drake used the broadcast to address ongoing rap industry tensions. He issued warnings to lyrical rivals and made comments regarding Jay-Z and Roc Nation, specifically referencing “Roc Nation subpoenas.” The stream also drew criticism from figures like Wayno, who described the content as “corny,” while fans defended the rapper’s engagement with internet culture.
