If you’re like me and woke up Sunday morning to immediately see a viral clip of Drake barking in an act of role play for a goth girl, I’m here to confirm that we have not been nuked by Iran and transported to some strange purgatory. The clip is, in fact, real, clipped from a 20-v-1 dating-show Drake held on Saturday night to celebrate the ninth anniversary of Stake, the online crypto casino he is affiliated with. When said goth girl, a popular online streamer and influencer named Pinkchyu, asked Drake if he was into role play and whether he would “bark” for her, the Toronto rapper quickly obliged.

Naturally, the internet went to work, syncing up Drake’s bark to Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us.”
