Chapter 43: Going Viral!

Because of the lyrics of this song, I had to postpone my plans to play concerts in the city.

Because if BlackVelvet's picture leaked and people saw that instead of the handsome man they imagined singing this song, the person on stage was an ugly, fat boy, instead of feeling that the singer of the song was cool, they would just feel that the singer was creepy.2

So my plan, as long as I didn't lose enough weight to be able to sing the song on stage and not ruin my image, was just to keep building my fame on the Internet and let the songs grow.

It's not like this was going to be a bad thing for me, because if I got more followers and climbed higher in the artist rankings, I would also get better paychecks.

Selena explained to me that in bars like the one where I met her, the amount of money you get depends a lot on the rank of the artist.

A rank F artist would probably only get 70% of what a rank E artist would get, who in turn would get less than what a rank D artist would get.

This amount would only increase as their rank increased, but of course, rank wasn't everything.
