Wiz Khalifa Defends Drake’s Viral Barking Moment With a Hilarious Admission

Wiz Khalifa has weighed in on Drake’s viral barking moment from the rapper’s recent “20 v. 1” dating livestream, and the Taylor Gang veteran clearly saw the clip as comedy rather than controversy. While watching the exchange on his own stream, Wiz laughed at Drake’s willingness to play along with Pinkchyu after she asked him to bark. His reaction quickly became another layer of the viral conversation surrounding one of the most replayed moments from Drake’s appearance.

The original scene unfolded during a livestreamed dating event in which Drake interacted with a lineup of women before ultimately choosing goth streamer Pinkchyu. During their exchange, Pinkchyu asked the Toronto star to bark, and Drake obliged, producing the clip that spread rapidly across social media. The Guardian also highlighted the barking exchange while examining Drake’s increasingly visible move into livestreaming and creator-driven entertainment.

Wiz appeared more amused than judgmental as he watched the footage, laughing through the clip and focusing on the playful nature of the interaction. At one point he joked about going with a “big dog bark,” signaling that he understood why Drake committed to the bit instead of treating it as an embarrassing moment. The response stood out because much of the online discussion around the clip had framed Drake’s barking as something far more serious than a joke inside an entertainment-focused dating stream.

That lighthearted response also fits Wiz Khalifa’s long-running approach to internet culture. The Pittsburgh rapper has maintained an unusually strong online presence throughout his career, from his early “DayToday” video era to more recent livestream appearances where he talks music, watches clips and interacts directly with viewers. Rather than piling onto Drake over a viral moment, Wiz treated the footage as exactly what it appeared to be in context: a performer leaning into an intentionally over-the-top segment.

Drake’s “20 v. 1” appearance has generated attention well beyond the barking clip. Pinkchyu emerged as his final selection from the dating segment, and their interaction continued to circulate as viewers debated everything from the rapper’s enthusiasm to the streamer’s goth aesthetic. The episode also reflects Drake’s growing involvement with livestreaming, where spontaneous moments can travel far beyond the original broadcast and take on a life of their own across social platforms.

For Wiz, however, the takeaway was considerably simpler. His laughter and joking response suggested he was not interested in turning the exchange into another referendum on Drake, even as the clip continued to draw reactions online. In a week filled with commentary about the unusual moment, Wiz Khalifa’s reaction offered a straightforward counterpoint: sometimes a viral bark is just part of the show.
