Domination in America, Starting from being a Boxing Champion

"Damn, how did this song get so hot?"

At Roc Records, Lil Wayne couldn't believe his eyes when he saw the magazine data.

"See You Again" had sold 5.45 million copies online in its first week alone, surpassing the first-week sales record of 1.82 million set by "D.O.A. (Death of Auto-Tune)" by more than threefold.

It was ridiculous.

Even the biggest fraudster wouldn't dare to fake these numbers.

But Link had done it.

"This bastard is riding on MJ's coattails. Without MJ, this song would never have been this popular,"

Lil Wayne said angrily.

Thinking that MJ had passed away and Link dared to exploit his popularity was infuriating.

Even more infuriating was that MJ's fans and the public not only didn't blame Link for exploiting MJ's popularity, but they also spent money to support him, praising him loudly, calling him MJ's best friend and most genuine friend.

Otherwise, why was he the only one who could write such a deeply moving song after so many attended MJ's memorial?

This showed his feelings for MJ were real, very sincere, unparalleled by others.

Thus, many MJ fans supported him unconditionally, transferring their admiration and longing for MJ onto Link.

When Lil Wayne saw these news reports, he almost went insane.

Among those fans, a significant portion were Black fans who, after hearing "See You Again," greatly changed their perception of Link. Many switched sides on the spot, becoming staunch followers of Link.

Thinking that his own people and fans were supporting his enemy, Lil Wayne was so angry that he clenched his teeth, his face transformed, and he kicked over a chair.

Heh~

Beyonce, seeing his skewed nose and crooked eyes, couldn't help but want to laugh, but due to a shared enmity, it wasn't the time to laugh. She had to cover her mouth with her hand, her chest quivering continuously inside her top.

"Alright, don't just get mad, getting angry now isn't useful. We need to think of a way to deal with this,"

Jay-Z sat behind his desk, taking a cigar cutter, cutting open a cigar, and looked towards the others.

Kanye's face was solemn, looking as if his depression had relapsed.

50 Cent, T.I., and Drake crowded on the sofa, with twisted expressions, unsure of what to do.

Jay-Z looked towards the braided, quick-thinking Lil Wayne.

Lil Wayne shrugged his shoulders helplessly and said:

"'See You Again' is not only high quality but also cashed in on MJ's popularity. Even if we now could produce a rap song of comparable quality, and invest millions in promotions, we couldn't surpass it."

Jay-Z furrowed his brows. "See You Again" had exploded globally, becoming a phenomenal rap single.

It brutally dominated the sales data of all East Coast artists, and its reputation also experienced a significant turnaround.

Many insiders began to accept Link as a formidable rapper.

Even if he wasn't a rapper, they regarded him as a songwriter with strong capabilities in rap music, considering him one of their own.

Rap fans also started to accept him, trying out his rap songs, and even his two pop and rock albums, including many Black fans.

Simply put, with "See You Again," Link not only firmly planted his feet in the rap field, but he also successfully broke barriers, getting rap fans interested in pop and rock music.

This kind of behavior, stealing the spotlight and even taking the pot, was too despicable.

Besides Link, newcomers like Wiz Khalifa, Bobby, and Bruno Mars were also becoming famous in the rap scene.

In the latest issue of Billboard's rap artist popularity chart, Link was unsurprisingly first.

Wiz, this guy who ran over from the West Coast, also climbed to the second position in rap because of his impressive performance in "See You Again."

He was third, Kanye was fourth, Eminem fifth, and Lil Wayne sixth, with twelve out of the top twenty from the East Coast.

These twelve were stepped on by two enemies, yet they could do nothing about it.

Jay-Z was so angry he felt murderous, but seeing his wife Beyonce with her legs crossed, playing with her nails and humming a song next to him, humming Link's "See You Again," made him even more aggravated.

He slapped the table angrily, "Stop, Beyonce, please don't sing that song in front of me."

Beyonce shrugged her shoulders, looked at the crowd, and smiled, "I have a good proposal, do you want to hear it?"

"Speak!"

Jay-Z lit a cigar.

Kanye glanced over with a grim face.

Lil Wayne and Drake stared at Beyonce's exposed thighs and voluptuous buttocks, swallowing their saliva.

Beyonce smiled, "I suggest a reconciliation. Last time at MJ's memorial, Link mentioned that as long as you guys publicly acknowledge being his fans and liking his songs, he would agree to reconcile.

You could contact a media outlet, openly express your fondness for 'See You Again,' a song commemorating MJ. Liking it is normal, and if you praise Link a few times, once Link receives the signal for reconciliation, I believe he'll consider reconciling."

Jay-Z frowned and thought for a moment, "No, if it was before 'See You Again,' showing willingness to reconcile might have made us seem magnanimous. Now, reconciliation would seem like we are afraid of Link, and the fans will think so too. The consequences of doing so are bad."

Kanye still had a sullen face, showing little reaction.

Lil Wayne and others also felt that proposing reconciliation at this time seemed more like surrender and would upset the fans.

"Suit yourselves then!"

Beyonce shrugged, picked up the hem of her dress, and left the office.

Jay-Z shook his head and called Kanye, Lil Wayne, and the other guys over to discuss what to do next.

'See You Again' was too hot, and whatever they released couldn't compete, so for the time being, everyone agreed to keep a low profile, not publicly criticize Link, and also not to release any songs, until the popularity of 'See You Again' had passed.

They had more people on their side, Link had fewer, they lost this time, but they could eventually win back.

Kanye nodded, his face still gloomy, and left Roc Records.

"Mr. West!"

As he was about to get into his car in the parking lot, a man wearing a cap approached him with a black bag slung over his shoulder.

Kanye's heart skipped a beat. Was it an assassin sent by Link?

This bastard has already won, why was he still out for blood?

As he was about to jump into the car to escape, he heard the man shout, "Mr. West, I'm a journalist, I have something that can help you defeat Link, but it's quite expensive, requires 200,000 US Dollars, would you like to take a look?"

Kanye paused for a moment, steadied himself on the car door, and turned to look at the man. The man took off his cap, spread his hands to show he meant no harm.

"I have no grudge against Link, I don't need to defeat him."

"Alright, Mr. West, sorry to have bothered you."

The man put on his cap and turned to leave.

"Wait!"

Kanye stared at the man, furrowed his brow, "What is it? I need to take a look first."

"Okay!"

The man opened his backpack and took out a camcorder.

"This can help me defeat Link?"

Kanye asked skeptically.

"Definitely!"

The man smiled confidently, inserted a tape into the camcorder, and invited Kanye to watch together.

After watching for a while, Kanye's gloomy expression gradually cleared, and he couldn't help but get excited.

"Mr. West, is it worth two hundred thousand US Dollars?"

The man asked.

"Good, I'll take it!"

Kanye immediately pulled out a checkbook, wrote a check for two hundred thousand US Dollars, and bought the tape. He was confident that this could turn the tide and restore his lost honor.
