Chapter 214: Video Exposure (Two-in-One) (2)
"Link, so you like Kanye’s songs?"
Taylor laughed.
"Link, are you really a Kanye fan? Then why did you guys start fighting? It sounds quite interesting."
Emma Roberts laughed.
Helpless with video and interview evidence, Link couldn’t deny it.
After sending a few reporters away, Anna and Mandy called one after the other, informing him about the YouTube video, and Ivanka also knew, with the company preparing for public relations.
Link told them not to worry, a single video wouldn’t make much impact, even being seen as a Kanye fan wasn’t consequential.
Kanye debuted earlier, was a top-stream singer, and he had sung his songs before, which was quite normal and not a big trouble.
However, with more paparazzi gathering in the streets, continuing to shop would block the traffic, so Link and Taylor could only say goodbye to Christine and Emma and drive home early. Your next chapter is on
Because of his recent fame, all matters relating to him became hot news.Plus, the East Coast rap chart battle wasn’t over, and suddenly, it came out online that he was supposedly a Kanye ’fan.’
This piece of news was not only fresh and bizarre, but also tinged with a bit of cold humor.
After fermenting overnight, the news successfully captivated everyone’s attention.
The next day, there was even more discussion in the media about this news.
Mostly mocking his relationship with Kanye, saying the adversaries secretly admired each other, the fan and singer loved and fought each other.
Many were curious, what caused Link, the fan, to suddenly turn against Kanye, the idol.
By noon, there was a theory online, which many people accepted.
It said that as a teenager, Link used to hang out on the streets, fight, and frequent bars and dance halls, while rap songs are mostly associated with sex, drugs, crime, gun battles, and murder.
Under those circumstances, it was normal for him to like rap music.
As an adult, his thoughts gradually matured, his taste in music also changed, beginning to like pop, rock, country, and the like.
This change also displayed his growth and maturity.
Netizens thought this theory was very credible, after all, everyone has a youth, rap music’s explosive rhythm and provocative lyrics are very appealing to the young.
Apart from that, there was another theory that also gained much support.
It said Link was Kanye’s fan, only Kanye was too slow in releasing new songs, so to hear Kanye’s new songs sooner, he entered the music scene to compete directly with Kanye and push Kanye to release more songs.
Then Kanye released "Monster" ahead of schedule.
Apart from Kanye, other East Coast rappers released new songs this year, releasing songs faster than before.
It also said fans of Kanye, Lil Wayne, Jay-Z, and others should thank Link.
If he hadn’t crossed over to the rap field to compete on the charts, they wouldn’t be able to hear so many new songs ahead of time.
This theory was nonsensical and more of a jest, yet some people accepted it.
By the afternoon, many Kanye fans flooded his Twitter with messages, claiming they misunderstood, realizing that he was on their side, and even thanked him for hurrying the songs.
Some also took the initiative to delete comments they had previously made against him.
Link watched, baffled, even if he had sung Kanye’s songs before, how could he be confirmed as his fan?
This kind of reasoning was far-fetched.
The East Coast rappers, for the sake of face, really resorted to any means necessary.
James also called, saying he didn’t know about his feud with Kanye, and when a reporter had asked, he had offhandedly mentioned that song "stronger", James asked if he had caused any trouble?
Link said it hadn’t, just a small matter, not worth worrying about too much.
"Really?"
James asked, not reassured.
"Of course, I’m a big star now, this little thing isn’t much, just a bit embarrassing."
Link laughed.
"Okay, as long as I haven’t caused you trouble, when are you coming back to Miami, the beach is very crowded and lively now, "
James said in an exaggerated tone.
Thinking of the scenery at Miami Beach, Link also felt like returning to rest, but he had been too busy lately, simply had no time.
After hanging up, he made a call to Ivanka, called up Mandy, Graham and a few others to hold an online video conference to discuss how to handle the current troubles.
After discussion, they came up with three plans.
First, ignore the video, act as if nothing happened, do not respond even if asked by reporters, and in a few days, other news would explode in the circle, and no one would bring up this matter again.
Second, publicly deny the video, stating he once liked that song, but now his taste has changed, no longer likes Kanye’s songs.
And also take the opportunity to attack the East Coast rappers, urging them not to promote drugs, sex, guns in their lyrics, as those songs can misguide the youth.
Third, publicly admit he had liked Kanye’s songs and express appreciation for Kanye.
After a show of hands, everyone thought the third option was somewhat better.
Firstly, his fame now wasn’t less than Kanye’s, there was no need to fight Kanye on the stage to attract media attention.
Secondly, he was now one of the top stars, had many fans, and his attitude often represented his fans’ attitudes.
Kanye was the same.
A proactive reconciliation could avoid conflicts among fans and also had a chance to win over fans of Kanye and others.
Last, in the recent period, his news of competing with East Coast artists on the charts had been bubbling fiercely, well known by many people.
