From A Producer To A Global Superstar

The moment Clara left Michael's office, the pressure inside MM Records shifted like a storm rolling in. She walked straight to the PR department with shaky hands, clutching her tablet and trying to steady her breathing. Michael had been angry before, but what she just saw… that was different. That was dangerous.

She pushed the PR door open without knocking.

Every head turned.

"Everybody stop what you're doing," she said, her voice tight.

The manager of PR, Louis, blinked behind his square reading glasses.

"What's happening?"

Clara didn't waste time.

"Boss wants everything on Dayo started now. No waiting. No processing. No 'we're finalizing it.' Start dragging him immediately."

Louis frowned. "We already told him the strategy is—"

"Louis," Clara cut in sharply, "I'm not repeating myself. If you don't start now, he will come here himself. And you know how he gets."

The room fell absolutely silent.

Louis swallowed whatever excuse he wanted to give.

"…Alright, team. You heard her. Open all docs. Pull out every template. Let's start."

Chairs rolled. Keyboards clicked. Screens lit up.

Within seconds, the smear machine was awake.

Clara stepped back, watching the madness unfold.

God help Dayo, she thought quietly, because the world is about to get ugly.

MM Records' PR team went into full attack mode.

The label had been around for more than thirty years — a standing giant in the industry — and this was where Michael pushed all his agendas. When MM wanted to bury someone, they buried them properly.

Louis clapped his hands once.

"Alright, you heard Clara. We're working tonight. Let's get started. Marvel, open Template One. Drug allegation format. Now."

Within minutes, the first fake article was ready.

An unnamed official within the Olympic swim committee reportedly raised concerns after Jason Dayo's surprising 20.87 performance.

Sources suggest "irregularities" in his sample, prompting further review.

Louis nodded.

"Push that. Next. Make it fast and make it real. No loopholes."

Fake Article #3 – "VerifySports Media" (Fake Verified-Style Blog)

Leaked Screenshot Suggests Dayo's Team Might Be Hiding Something

A blurry screenshot "leaked" online showed a chat labeled "JD Support Backup," with messages saying:

> "Delete everything before test."

"Make sure the sample is clean."

Everything was fabricated.

---

Fake Images Flood the Internet

AI edits that looked questionably real:

• an edited picture of Dayo holding a steroid vial

• a fake photo showing a locker tagged "JD" beside syringes

• a photoshopped medical report showing "abnormal testosterone levels"

• AI-generated footage of Dayo "running from a testing center"

Louis reviewed them and smirked.

"Good. Push all of them."

Troll Bots Activated

Another PR subgroup logged into dozens of burner accounts.

They posted things like:

"BREAKING: Dayo failed his first test. Retest pending."

"He's being investigated. Bookmark this tweet."

"Dayo fans better hide. Embarrassment loading."

Hundreds, then thousands, then tens of thousands of comments rolled in.

All orchestrated.

All paid for.

This wasn't a small smear attempt.

This was a $7 million coordinated attack, funded by Michael — and it was still cooking.

He was going all out to bury Dayo.

The fake articles were pushed out, and trolls — both paid and naturally hateful — did the rest.

The internet flipped overnight.

Cheers turned into suspicion.

Admiration turned into panic.

BACK TO THE PR ROOM

Louis leaned back, watching fake articles go viral in real-time.

"We're trending on seven platforms already," he said proudly.

"Boss will be pleased."

Clara didn't smile. She felt her stomach twist.

But she couldn't show weakness.

"Good," she said quietly. "Keep going."

AT MICHAEL'S OFFICE

Michael leaned back on his leather chair, scrolling through the chaos he created.

Finally… the narrative was shifting.

He dialed a number.

"Are you seeing the internet?" he asked.

"Yes," the voice replied. "It's everywhere."

"Good. Make sure it spreads globally. I want him drowning."

The woman on the other end chuckled.

"That won't be hard."

Michael ended the call, exhaled, and leaned back.

"This is just the beginning."

He didn't mention to anyone — not even that caller — what he found about Dayo being a billionaire.

He had his reasons.

---

The internet was literally on fire.

Imagine spending more than five million dollars just to defame someone — money many wouldn't see in their entire lifetime — and that was what Michael poured into burying Dayo.

By evening:

• YouTube was full of "Dayo EXPOSED!" videos

• TikTok had fake breakdowns and "expert analysis"

• "Drug specialists" on Instagram gave fake interviews

• Swim forums called him "the biggest fraud since 2008"

• International blogs reposted the lies

• Trending pages recycled the same fake story

In under three hours, Dayo went from:

Hero → Suspect.

Millions saw it.

Millions believed it.

The smear campaign worked.

And the internet was on fire.

The narrative was changing — and it was changing fast.

With a whole lot of people believing it and charging towards Dayo's page but Dayo's fans remained calm not believing what they saw.

After all it wasn't the first this was happening.
