Chapter 157: The Three Buske-teers (5)
POV Wilbert Brown
Throughout the whole conversation with the stupid Pop Star team, Wilbert Brown couldn’t help but notice the person wearing a strange green mask while standing by Benjamin.
He was hard to miss especially since he was dressed in a warm looking tracksuit in the boiling hot sun and was looking around like he was at the movies while annoyingly slurping a basically empty cup of juice as loudly as possible.
He couldn’t tell if it was a contestant or a staff member, but the sight of the green eyes that seemed to analyze him before dismissing him was very annoying.
In fact, he found all of the handsome boys, especially Benjamin and that rich blonde boy, extra annoying.
It wasn’t fair that just because they happened to make it onto some stupid pop show, they were getting really popular while he and his crew, who had been grinding for years trying to make it in the entertainment industry, were still struggling.
His crew had been putting in thousands of hours of effort, trying to make and share their own art and break into the mainstream, but all these spoiled kids just regurgitated the songs given to them, danced the basic dances they were taught, and got famous just because they looked a little good and could carry a tune.
And the fact that Benjamin, whom he knew and had once been close to, joined such a stupid show while giving up as an underground artist rubbed him the wrong way.
Instead of being a rapper making it with his own skill, he was basically selling out for a pop paycheck.
And now, because of his good looks and kiddy rap that wasn’t even written by him, Benjamin’s popularity was soaring to even crazier heights than it had before.
It wasn’t fair.
