Dude drops out of college but once he starts something, he definitely always finishes it because his work ethic is just strides above everyone else.. accept those that actually graduated

[TheToltec]

notice this left Taylor Swift out at the beginning... the reason he actually made in the music industry... dirtbagology

This man has made his entire career taking advantage of others. Total manipulator. Nothing impressive at all about wealth that was stolen from others by schemes of thievery.

I've been listening a lot to Scooter lately. He's driven, disciplined, hardworking, but at the same time, so grounded in his values and faith. There's no ounce of doubt as to his success.

Someone told his white collared crimes to the FBI" - TS

Ariana was barely mentioned. Every interview he's asked almost the exact same questions and repeats the same talking points

[KristenLogan-ls]

Thanknyou so much for everything you are ❤

I wish Scooter acknowledged the privilege he has had as a man. If he were a woman, the boys club of Atlanta would not have embraced him. It would not have happened.

Your beliefs become your thoughts,

Your thoughts become your words,
Your words become your actions,
Your actions become your habits,
Your habits become your values,
Your values become your destiny.
