Drake reportedly rented out Toronto's Casa Loma for date with a 'goth baddie'

Drake is making good on his self-declared "Certified Lover Boy" status, as the Toronto rapper reportedly rented out Casa Loma for an entire night with the "goth baddie" of his dreams.

After 20 hopeful ladies tried their luck with the '6ix God for a "20-v-1" video on the Nelk Boys YouTube channel — which has earned a staggering 8.4 million views in under 2 weeks — earlier this month, one competitor emerged victorious: Lin Lamar, better known by her online moniker Pinkchyu.

The streamer earned instant attention from Drake, who described Lamar as "perfect for me," and later went on to remove a packet of "Magic: The Gathering" cards from Lamar's chest and bark like a dog at her command. Who says chivalry is dead?

After winning the game — earning the coveted "wife" status in the central game of "wife, pipe, bestie," beating out Toronto's own Plushh — Drake promised to buy a house for Lamar's mother, but the romance didn't end there.

TMZ reports that, earlier this week, the rapper flew Lamar to Toronto from her home in Texas for a date at Casa Loma. According to the article, Drake rented out the entire castle for a one-on-one date, mercifully free from any Nelk Boys, over sushi.

What was that one Drake song, "Goth's Plan?"

This is far from the first time Drake's name has been connected to Casa Loma. The rapper hosted the release party for his three-album drop of Iceman, Habibti and Maid of Honour in May 2026, and, just months later as the quasi-castle and, months later, hosted his annual Strong Women, Stronger Drinks event at the venue.

And it makes sense: if Casa Loma is the closest thing Toronto has to a castle, Drake is probably the closest thing the city has to a prince, I guess. Should we expect him, alongside his new lady, to jump out of a casket sporting vampire makeup and fangs during Legends of Horror this Halloween?
