Chapter 459: Business and Business?

***21st January 2020***

**10:38 a.m**

The sun was bright and the moods of the Uventus players who had won a trophy just the day before were a lot brighter, but inside the bus that was carrying them back to Turin, most of that brightness couldn’t be seen on their faces.

The players would be on the bus for the next four hours back to Turin and most of them were using that to catch some sleep as most of them had been up late celebrating the newest addition to their accolades.

The few who weren’t sleeping were either on their phones or conversing in low tones.

Jason wasn’t asleep yet, but he planned to go to sleep soon enough.

As a new member of the team, he couldn’t avoid celebrating with his teammates the previous night, nor did he want to, so he had joined in happily and they had a good time within the restrictions of what could be allowed mid season.

Of course, Jason joining in the celebration didn’t mean he drank… rather, he just ate a few delicious foods that he had been avoiding due to their counter effects on his physical training…

Since it wasn’t even Turin, the celebration wasn’t too big and was done in their hotel’s bar.

He had stayed up a bit late but had still gone to sleep earlier than most at the celebration, but even that wasn’t enough and he still wanted to go back to sleep, however, there were a few things he needed to attend to before then.

The previous night, he had checked his phone to check the picture Osimen sent to him and after seeing the pictures, he picked the one that he thought looked best and posted it with the caption “We win together… get well soon” and he added the Nigerian flag.

Then he posted a few other pictures with different captions to celebrate the team’s win.

He also posted a video of his first goal with the caption “First of many”.

It was a statement of intent, one that he planned to take serious and follow through with. There was the added benefit of the pressure such a proud statement brought, so he would always be hard pressed to work hard to make it come to pass.

It was when he was posting that he received a message from Adele and Maya Singh.

Immediately recognizing it as business, he noted it down mentally and prepared to put his phone down, but another message came flying in.

This one was from a verified user on Instagram, causing him to take a look and he was surprised to see that it was Big Shaq.

Wondering what the musician wanted from him, he decided to check the message before calling his aunt and then going to the party.

By the time he read through the message, he had an amused look on his face.

It wasn’t a congratulatory message from the musician which would have felt weird anyway since they didn’t exactly know each other that much.

The contents of the message was instead in a direction Jason hadn’t expected as it was a feature request for Jason on a song.

It was funny to Jason because he was a footballer and not a musician so he had first wondered if the message had ended up in the wrong DM, but after reading further, he understood the reasoning but was still amused.

Apparently the freestyle he and Big Shaq had done in Nigeria the previous year had become a bit of a trend and some people started using it on short videos and in skits, causing it to become an even bigger trend.

The problem arose because of how catchy the “song” was.

To Jason and Big Shaq, it had just been a bunch of rubbish they had said while following the beat, and while it had surprisingly come out well, they hadn’t thought much of it and had put it behind them after that day, but some genius had taken it upon himself to take that small bit that they had rapped online and put it together in a way that it felt like a teaser of a song.

It was that teaser that had then blown up.

Big Shaq had found out about it later, but hadn’t bothered himself with the trend and had simply ignored it, however, others didn’t and the song had somehow managed to get inside their head and didn’t want to get out so they had taken to social media asking Big Shaq when the actual song would be released.

Even Big Shaq was surprised by the number of tags he had seen in the last few weeks concerning the song.

He was someone who made music for fun and not for the career of it.

After he had made his first hit, he had tried to build off it with another song, but while that song had made the charts as well, it was mostly due to the fame he had amassed from his first song and the song was not that good.

He knew that much and only focused on music as a side mission, but now people were calling him for a song and he felt like doing it, hence after the tags had became a bit too much, he finally contacted Jason who had been a co-singer in the formation of the song and wanted to ask him about whether he wanted to feature on the song.

Jason who was on the receiving end of that text was now stuck in an amused dilemma.

It wasn’t something he could decide that night and he didn’t want to rush to make a decision, hence he had categorized it as business as well and added it to the number of things he would respond to later, yet as he looked at his phone in the bus, re-reading the message with a clearer mind that wasn’t overwhelmed by excitement, he still couldn’t break out of the amused dilemma he found himself in.

‘I guess we’ll decide that later then,’
