Caroline scrolled through the album list, searching for a less famous track.“Hey, look at this one. It’s a feature with an artist named Alex. Who’s he?” she asked, frowning.“Maybe some other country artist or some C-list guy. You can’t possibly know all the C-listers,” Charlie said with a shrug.“I know all the C-list artists, Charlie. Did you forget? I’m a music critic. Even before that, I listened to all kinds of music,” Caroline shot back.“Alright, maybe he’s just from another country, like he said. If you’re not going to play it already, maybe put on that K-brown feature instead,” Catherina said.She still wanted to listen to her K-brown first.Caroline was busy checking Alex’s Spot music profile.“I think he’s a new artist. His profile doesn’t even have pictures, and the only song there is his track with Rose. But it looks like he has an upcoming single,” she said at last.“Oh, an upcoming single that hasn’t even dropped yet? That song is going to be ass. No wonder no one list

The car pulled away, and Alex and Anna sat in silence. Several times, he almost spoke, but each time he decided it was better to remain quiet. They arrived at a hotel, and she parked in one of the designated spaces.Together, they walked toward the entrance.“Please take us to Exclusive Lounge 12,” she said to one of the waitresses.“Alright, ma’am.” The waitress led them down the corridor to the lounge.Alex and Anna stepped inside.Four people were already there. A tall, masculine man stood near the center of the room. On the opposite side, two pretty ladies were positioned apart from him. One held a camera, adjusting and checking its settings, while the other sat beside a sound system placed along the wall.Security personnel were stationed outside the lounge.And then there was the third lady.She was tall and beautiful, with long brown hair cascading down her back. Her waist was lean, and her eyes were an unusual color, captivating and almost hypnotic.She looked at Alex and wink

The live stream exploded, but Alex was in for an even greater shock.“You’re really good. I didn’t expect you to perform this well. It was such a surprise,” Rose admitted.“What was the meaning of what you did back there?” her manager asked angrily.“The meaning of what?” Rose feigned ignorance.“Don’t pretend you don’t know what I’m talking about. You just handed him free PR for his next song. We never discussed that. How did this even happen?” He frowned deeply.“I understand what you’re saying. It was my decision. I don’t care, and please don’t act like my label by telling me what to do.” She suddenly raised her voice.“Okay, alright. I’m sorry. But you should have at least contacted me first,” he replied, his tone noticeably calmer.“The idea came to me in the middle of the stream. How exactly was I supposed to inform you? Anyway, enough of this rubbish. I’m going home now. See you next time, Anna. And you too, Alex. Muah.” She blew Alex a kiss before leaving.Anna stood up. She h

Alex paused for a moment. “What did I forget to tell you?” he repeated, unsure what she was referring to, though he had a few guesses.“Of course you’re on Rose Album shit, Alex. You can’t even tell me. And yesterday, your song together was actually the most streamed. Five million streams across all platforms.” She spoke with unmistakable excitement.“Oh really? Let me see,” he said, curiosity flashing across his face.She showed him, and it was true. Although he knew the number was driven by recent buzz and would eventually die down, he still felt genuinely happy seeing it.“So how did you even get a feature with her?” she asked, her curiosity lingering.“Alright, I’ll tell you everything…” He went on to explain about Anna and everything else that had happened up until now.“Really? So much happened while I was away. Even Jude! You guys are on fire. You’re moving even faster than us, and we have a label and exposure.”“Well.” He shrugged lightly. “It’s not my song after all, and it’s

A rumor began spreading across the internet about the new artist Alex and Rose dating. The reason was simple: Rose had never done a freestyle with any other male artist she featured except him.At first, the rumor was only whispered. But on the day Alex’s new single was released, something happened that caused it to explode.Alex posted a link to the song on Gram, and Rose quoted it with a love emoji.It was just a single love emoji, yet it ignited the rumors.
