– Yasmin POV (A BlackVelvet Fan) –

I am angry… very, very, very angry!

How can a Peak C Rank band steal BlackVelvet’s songs?!

Aren’t they ashamed or afraid of the consequences?

And what’s worse, looking at how their popularity skyrocketed with the release of the song ‘In The End’, it was only a matter of days before they climbed to B Rank!

All this with a stolen song!

And even worse, why didn’t BlackVelvet say anything about it?

When I noticed that Dark Pistol had sung his song at a gig he’d even attended, I felt that there might be something wrong with it.

So I waited for the day when his vlog about that concert would be posted, but BlackVelvet didn’t post anything about it!

What’s going on?

Whenever something important happened in his career, he would post a vlog on MeTube showing the truth about it, not hiding anything from his fans, which was the main reason why I liked him so much when I first met him.

He was a real artist, someone who didn’t hide a bad personality behind the scenes, someone who wasn’t afraid to show how he was with his friends, with his agent, with the staff, a really nice person who everyone who watched felt would be fun to be friends with.

Every vlog I watched I felt like I was there with them, living every moment together, laughing at the silly jokes BlackVelvet made, admiring the interaction he had with Selena, how Mark and Frank seemed like older brothers helping BlackVelvet with the instruments he wasn’t very good at.

The whole dynamic seemed so real and fun, but his not posting about the show with Dark Pistol left me a little lost and worried.

Why was he hiding it? Could something dark be happening? Something he didn’t want to show? Or worse… something he can’t show?

My mind raced with different possibilities of what had happened.

When I saw the message on my Discord PC, I noticed that it was from my group of friends.

Surprisingly, they were also commenting on the same concerns I was feeling.

[He posted his second video this week and none of them were about the Dark Pistol gig… something weird is going on…]

[Yeah… I thought today’s vlog would show that, but this vlog was just a random vlog…]

[But he was great in Duncan Family as Jack Storm…]

[Yeah… I watched the episode three times already hehe].

When I saw that the girls’ discussion shifted to his role in Duncan Family, I also sent some messages about it.

We watched the episode together and when we realized he was in the whole episode, we were super excited.

The scene where he falls into the water and his clothes stick to his body was… something else…

Thinking about watching that scene again, I opened my MeTube and started typing about it until I noticed a familiar thumbnail.

It was in the same style that BlackVelvet usually used on his channel, so I immediately looked at it.

In the thumbnail, BlackVelvet was sitting in a dark room, with only a lamp illuminating his face, looking like a police interrogation room…

I was shocked when I saw it.

[The Truth…]

Unfortunately, the video was only 30 seconds long…

By the time I’d finished reading the title, several messages started pinging up on my Discord, possibly from girls who had also seen it and were commenting on it.

To make sure I didn’t get a spoiler, I just set my status to busy and clicked on the video.

Unlike BlackVelvet’s vlogs, which usually start with them chatting in the car in a fun way, this one had the feel of something much more formal.

–

The video began with an image of a woman and a girl playing the violin side by side.

Until BlackVelvet’s voice came from the background.

[Behind every song, there’s a story…]

Suddenly the clip changed to the woman and the girl arguing, violin in hand.

[Sometimes the story can be good… sometimes not…]

But then the image changed to the woman and the girl standing with their backs to each other, each going their own way.

[But as much as the story isn’t as good as it could be, it’s still my story and my family’s story…]

Then the image changed to a band playing a concert.

I realized that this wasn’t BlackVelvet, Mark and Frank playing together, this was another band, but as their faces were censored with a black bar, I couldn’t be 100% sure who it was, but I already had my guesses…

[Now a band is trying to steal that story from us… Just to get some fame…]

Then the image changed to two words, with a blurry image of a discussion going on in the background in what looks like a dressing room.

-THE TRUTH-

[And the truth will soon be revealed…]

–

It was only 30 seconds…just 30 seconds, but it made the hairs on my arms stand up.

That was it!

I was waiting for something like that, for BlackVelvet to tell me what happened.

But I didn’t think he would do it in such a big way!!!

Since he always just did normal vlogs, I thought that this would also be revealed through a vlog.

But apparently he wanted to do something bigger.

And I was all for it!

When I looked at the date he put on the screen for the premiere, I realized that the first episode would be released in two weeks…

Damn, I’d have to wait that long!

When I opened the discord to see the girls’ reaction, a big smile appeared on my face when I saw that they were talking about this very thing.

Sarah and Jenny were even on a voice call and might be talking about it!

When I entered the voice call, the first thing I heard was the two of them yelling and cursing at the Dark Pistol.

“I’m sure it was those idiots from Dark Pistol who sang his song without permission!” Jenny said angrily on the phone.

“It’s obvious, you saw them discussing something in the background in the dressing room at the end, I’m sure they discussed it with someone from the Dark Pistol team!” Sarah also cursed angrily.

Seeing her reaction, I started to laugh because it was exactly what I was thinking.

While we were talking on the voice call, I watched the video and noticed how many views it was getting.

Since this type of content was different from BlackVelvet’s usual style, something that actually involved a fight with another artist, it seemed to attract even more attention, even from people who didn’t know who BlackVelvet or even Dark Pistol were and just came to see an interesting piece of gossip.

This was evident in the many comments from people who admitted that they didn’t really know either of them.

And seeing that his video had 200k views in less than an hour, it was obvious that BlackVelvet’s bubble was bursting and that it was really going to go viral.

His subscribers were growing rapidly, possibly from people interested in seeing the continuation of this gossip.

When I opened Twipper out of curiosity, I noticed that BlackVelvet’s name was starting to get more attention there as well.

Even more so when people found out that he was Duncan Family’s Jack Storm, which meant that the gossip about his fight with Dark Pistol reached even more people.

Because what was once just a fight between a D rank artist and a C rank artist had now become a fight between the singer and actor from Duncan Family, the high rated sitcom, against a B rank band.

The fight went up a level just by changing BlackVelvet’s name to put Duncan Family in the middle.

Could this cause problems for Duncan Family’s show? It could, but it could also draw the attention of people who don’t watch the show to find out who this artist is who was involved in a controversy.

Considering that the right person in the story so far was BlackVelvet himself, this wouldn’t have any negative effects on the Duncan Family, fortunately…

Now all I had to do was wait for the full video to appear on BlackVelvet’s channel.

Hi guys, sorry for the long absence. I had some problems at home, a bit of fatigue from the novel’s high release rate of 2 chapters a day, something I never used to do, so I took a week off to rest, and now I’m back refreshed, with more planning for the story so that this doesn’t happen again.

Thank you for your support, for continuing to follow the journey of Noah Black, the BlackVelvet!
