Scotts has been receiving a lot of backlash recently for his alleged “bad attitude” after not wanting to take pictures with fans when he is in a bad mood or refusing to hug fans. He said he did not ask to be famous and cannot be forced to take pictures by fans.
“I didn’t want to be a celebrity. I didn’t want to be famous. I’m not that kind of person. I love my space. I don’t like pictures. Why do you want to take pictures? ” he said. “If I don’t want to take a picture, then I don’t want to. I don’t feel like it. I don’t think any celebrity owes anyone. I live according to God. No one made me reach where I am today and no one can remove me.”
