Rapper Drake hosted a high-profile, three-hour livestream on the Kick platform to celebrate the ninth anniversary of the crypto gambling site Stake. The event featured a variety show format, including a “20-versus-1” dating segment hosted by Nelk co-founder Kyle Forgeard, which distributed over $1 million in prizes.

During the segment, several influencers received awards. Jordyn Lucas was named Drake’s “best friend,” receiving $25,000 and a Birkin bag. Pinkchyu was designated as the “wife” after a viral moment where Drake barked on command; she received various promises, including a pledge from Drake to purchase a house for her mother. Adult content creator Lena the Plug, who reached the final three contestants, was designated as the “hookup” recipient, receiving $25,000 and a trip to New Zealand.

The broadcast drew significant attention when Lena the Plug removed her wedding ring following a hug with Drake. While social media commentary speculated on a marital crisis, it was later clarified that Lena the Plug and her husband, Adam22, have been in an open marriage for several years. 

Following the event, Adam22 provided new context to the incident, telling TMZ that while he had given Lena a signed “hall pass” certificate for the appearance, he felt she “went over the line” by tossing her wedding ring to demonstrate her interest in the rapper. Despite this friction, Adam22 appeared to support the appearance publicly, joking about buying flowers for his wife after her date.

In addition to the entertainment segments, Drake addressed his music career and potential rap rivalries, stating his “pen isn’t dry,” and made references to Roc Nation subpoenas, noting they were “about to be cleared.”
