Yet for all the flirting, there was one rather unexpected detail about the woman who had just won over one of the world’s biggest rappers: she wasn’t much of a Drake fan.
‘I just remember you from Degrassi’
Lamar later revealed that her musical tastes lean toward goth and metal, and according to TMZ, when she spoke with Drake after the livestream, she admitted she didn’t really know his music.
“You know what’s funny? I just remember you from Degrassi,” she said about his starring role as Jimmy Brooks on the Canadian teen series Degrassi.
“I know some of his popular songs and stuff, but that’s how – from Degrassi.”
Her own musical background couldn’t be much further from Drake’s: “I listen to goth music and metal,” she said. “I grew up playing guitar, violin. I was in bands. That’s the kind of music I listen to.”
“This is funny, we’re complete opposites,” she added.
As interest in Drake’s unlikely match exploded online, attention soon shifted from their differences to Lamar.
‘Bought a whole new face and body’
Old photos purportedly showing the streamer before adopting the dramatic goth aesthetic she is now known for resurfaced online, showing her with a much more understated appearance, including short curly hair and minimal makeup.
The contrast quickly attracted comments from people marveling at how different she looked.
“Calling yourself a baddie when you bought a whole new face and body is crazy,” shared one user on X alongside an older photo that showed the woman before her transformation.
Others, however, jumped in and defended her: “Looks like she could have just lost weight,” another added,” shared a second, while another added, “A baddie that bought a face is still a baddie.”
‘We just had a lot of conversations’
When TMZ caught up with Lamar and asked whether she and Drake had hooked up after the dating show, she said, “No, no, no. We just had a lot of conversations.”
Lamar gave little away about what might happen between them next, but she said Drake intends to make good on his promise to buy a house for her mother, who’s “over the moon.” All she has to do is choose the property before he takes care of the payment, she claimed.
