Drake's ‘Goth Baddie’  Pinkchyu
Drake's ‘Goth Baddie’ Pinkchyu addresses 'breastplate' rumours Pinkchyu/X

Pinkchyu has answered an online rumour about her body by posting a video of herself bouncing in a bikini. The clip is captioned 'Not a breastplate btw', in response to social media users accusing her of wearing one.

Pinkchyu, whose real name is Lin Lamar, became known as Drake's 'Goth Baddie' after winning his '20 v 1' dating challenge. Since then she has appeared in his FOMO livestream and chatted to TMZ on 22 September, where she said her friends know how things stand with Drake and have told her not to say anything.

What Sparked the Rumour?

In fashion terms, a breastplate is a sculpted garment that covers the chest and torso, and the commenters quoted here believe she wears one. One online user wrote: 'She's trying so hard to make that breastplate bounce,' in reply to the TMZ video.

Another wrote, 'She's bouncing that breastplate so damn hard like rent's due and Drake just ghosted.' More people piled on, saying: 'That plastic ain't moving at all sis, and it's obvious that's why she's jumping up and down.'

The comment she answered appeared under the same TMZ interview clip on X, which was posted on 23 September. However, none of these comments cite a source and are merely opinions about her videos rather than anything more substantial.

How Pinkchyu Hit Back at the Breastplate Rumour

Her reply to these accusations was a bikini video in which she bounces up and down, captioned 'Not a breastplate btw,' and a separate picture claiming: 'I bounce when I'm nervous.'

She then posted several standalone videos on X, with captions such as 'Haters will still say I'm wearing a breastplate' and 'They're real'. In another clip, it reports, she showed off her tongue and joked: 'What's next, I'm wearing a tongue plate?'

Her captions leave no doubt about where she stands, constantly dispelling the rumours herself on X.

What Did Pinkchyu Say in Her Interview?

Asked in Los Angeles whether she and Drake were now 'official', she looked toward her friends and laughed, then said they knew how things stood and had told her not to say anything. She was more open about starring in Drake's 'Princess' video, telling TMZ: 'I actually felt like a princess.'

The house Drake promised her mother came up in the interview, too, and is reportedly 'in the works'. Soon after the '20 v 1' livestream on 8 August, she told TMZ she only had to choose a listing, and Drake would cover the cost.

Do Creators Now Have to Prove Their Bodies Are Real?

It is a strange place for a creator to end up. Pinkchyu became known through a dating challenge, and now she is posting video after video to answer a rumour about her body, with each reply handing people something new to pick apart.

That is the trap of going viral, because viewers ask for proof, the creator supplies it, and the doubters simply move on to the next frame. It also flips the usual order of things, since the accused ends up having to prove it while those making the accusation rarely have to back it up.

For now, the Pinkchyu breastplate row comes down to a handful of comments and a flat denial from Pinkchyu herself.
