So, who is Colby you ask? why is he relevant to Curtis and the "Unkleverse"?
Colby Ferrin is a Mormon rapper who gained infamy in OriginalPosting when Curtis was trying to shill his
Original top hat for a mere $10,000 in 2018.
Curtis ended up doing a giveaway on the top hat after nobody wanted to pay $10,000 for a $3 costume party supply hat, the person winning being Colby. OriginalPosting was outraged and very suspicious about this move, given that Colby was verified on Twitter which raised suspicion that he was seeded to receive the hat due to his popularity and that he was a rapper. Colby, notable at the time for a track named Middle Class Gangster, which most people on OGP thought was racist and classist due to its themes, of which was Colby saying he was oppressed as a white male middle class citizen, was crucified on OGP for a time until he ended up joining the group to explain his side of the story.
Colby ended up having a moment of clarity due to the relentless bullying from OGP about Middle Class Gangster, deleting every trace of it from YouTube and other services, later apologizing for even releasing the song in the first place.
Colby later dropped some screenshots of DMs he had with Curtis over the hat debacle and Curtis addresses how OGP had been bullying and trolling him for months. Colby defends OGP, saying that most of the members do have Curtis’ best interests at heart.
Soon after, Colby decided to auction off the top hat for charity, earning around $650 for it in the end. The top hats current owner still remains unknown.
During the auction, Colby dropped a “Remix” of Original titled “
Not Enough to Be Original” wearing the top hat and dissing Curtis in the process. This goes ignored by Curtis.
Due to all of the events following the top hat giveaway, Colby’s “redemption arc” is what solidified Colby into the somewhat de facto godlike leader of OGP.
