Success, Fame And Price (a Short Story) by Charlesdonald(m): 10:09am On Feb 11, 2019
Lil sane has just being signed to one of the best record label in Nigeria after releasing a
cover of one of the best single hit by another artist in that same label which had millions of views on youtube and gathered him more followers on every of his social media account.

Lil sane is an upcoming artist and after his signing, he already had lot of projects put
together featuring numerous artist in his upcoming album named”Sanity” having 17
tracks ready to be released soon to the public in an official date via his instagram.

Lil sane is having the best time of his life enjoying the fame and luxury and now he has released his album and some video while getting prepared to embark on a tour as part of the deal he signed with his label but before then he wants a concert in Nigeria.

Lil sane was literally everywhere, he was interviewed on Tv and Radio, Magazines and Newspapers and his picture was on every
billaboards and posters. He was the ideal guy picture for every product to even market well.
The concert is almost near and Lil sane who is getting prepared is bothered of one major problem, Jik, a person he sees as a “frenemy” that has being jealous of his achievement so far.
Jik is pained that he doesn’t have a talent that even if he doesn’t have a talent, he atleast have an ace up his sleeve that would make him wealthy, that’s if Lil sane complies.

Jik wants 35% out of the 70% royalty Lil sane gets from his record label, make him a
superstar by convincing his label that he is a good singer too, write songs for him and embark on his coming tour with him or else
he reveals a video of him raping an older woman to death.

Lil sane sees this as a threat to ruining his career and wondered why Jik never ever deleted the video even when they just did that for fun. “Did he really kept the video because he knew this moment would happen someday?” Lil sane ask himself.

Lil sane would not allow this to happen and then he quickly orchestrates the murder of
Jik.

Jik whom before he was murdered already let out the secret to his sister,Helen, who seem to be a fan of Lil sane but not anymore.
Helen goes over and blackmails Lil sane to pay her half a billion and then sleeps with her or else his beautiful concert will be ruined by the bombshell she will drop.

Lil sane goes nut and says he can only offer her his body for now but not money since alot is being invested in his coming concert
and then he promises to give her the amount she request after the tour and his concert.
Helen doesn’t believe him and she refuses to sleep with him because she fear she could be murdered too. She makes him to understand that his life is in her hand.

The big concert is here already and there are plenty of people present, his ticket was sold out to 50,000 persons. Lilsane is on stage already performing with other artist to the crowd.
While Helen is on the run because Lil sane sent some guyz over to eliminate her in which she escapes, got furious and uploaded the video of Lil sane raping an older woman to death followed with a video of she accusing him of the brothers death because he knew the truth.

Right in his concert, the video went viral and suddenly the jubilating crowd turned from
“sugar lips” to “sour mouth”. Lil sane gets a picture of all that is happening and flees the
environment.

Lil sane soon forgets that there is no place to hide since he is practically everywhere.
The talk of the town for a very bad reason and his career dwindling down to the dust.

Lil sane is becoming literally insane and depressed as the police continue to hunt for him and the media all negative about him.

Every billaboard and posters and everything having his picture mysteriously have “wanted” attached to it.
Lil sane finally gives up and turned himself in to the police and he was arrested and to be
locked up for 27 years.

His tour was finally cancelled but his album did great, while his account grew fatter as he continue to rot in cell.

Lil sane was given a presidential pardon years later before his sentence was complete and the paparrazi took note of this.
Lil sane changes his stage name to “Strong alive” and now he believes that fame came with a price and that no crime must go unpunished and he served his but now he has to rise again.
