Is Drake Having a Mid-Life Crisis? Rapper Goes Full Goth for 'Baddie Girlfriend' Who Once Made Him Bark on Dating Show

Drake has surprised fans with a dramatic goth makeover alongside content creator Pinkchyu in his latest short film Fear of Missing Out, weeks after the pair went viral during the rapper's unconventional dating show.

The rapper appeared in the self-funded film sporting a heavily altered look, complete with dark clothing, pale makeup and a goth-inspired aesthetic. Pinkchyu also features prominently in the project, reviving interest in the unusual pairing that first caught attention online in August.

From Dating Show Viral Moment to Goth Makeover

Pinkchyu, a goth content creator and dating-show contestant, became widely known after appearing on Drake's dating livestream on 8 August. During the broadcast, the creator made headlines after asking the rapper to bark, with Drake eventually playing along.

The moment quickly became one of the most widely discussed clips from the show, while Pinkchyu went on to win the dating challenge. Drake later reportedly offered to buy a house for her mother following the livestream, although available reports do not establish that the property purchase was ultimately completed.

Weeks later, Pinkchyu appeared alongside Drake again in Fear of Missing Out, giving fans another unexpected look at their on-screen dynamic.

Drake Embraces a Goth-Inspired New Look

In the film, Pinkchyu helps Drake transform his appearance during a sequence that includes a visit to a mall and a stop at Hot Topic. The makeover eventually sees the rapper adopt a much darker aesthetic, before the pair continue their surreal outing together.

The film also features scenes at a park and Medieval Times, adding to the deliberately unconventional feel of the project.

Drake described Fear of Missing Out as 'self-funded surrealism' when sharing the project online. The film premiered on 15 September as part of a busy period for the rapper, who has continued experimenting with unusual promotional formats and visual concepts.

The appearance has also prompted renewed online discussion about Drake's changing image. Some social media users have focused on his sudden embrace of goth fashion, while others have connected the film's storyline to the viral dating-show footage from August.

Pinkchyu's Sudden Rise in the Spotlight

For Pinkchyu, the collaboration marks another major moment following her appearance on Drake's dating show. Her goth persona and distinctive appearance helped make her one of the most recognisable contestants from the livestream, while her interactions with Drake generated substantial attention online.

However, the public footage does not establish the nature of their private relationship beyond their documented appearances together. The pair's latest collaboration is therefore best understood through the material shown publicly in Drake's film rather than assumptions about their personal lives.

With Pinkchyu now appearing prominently in Fear of Missing Out, the dating-show moment has effectively become part of a larger chapter in Drake's increasingly unconventional visual rollout.

The unexpected collaboration has given fans another striking image to discuss, but for now, the goth makeover and the film itself remain the clearest evidence of the pair's latest public connection.
