STAYING FOCUSED ON HIMSELF
Amid the Larsa-Beasley dating rumors, Scotty Jr. posted on Twitter that he is focused on himself and his goals, adding that he is not responsible for "nobody’s actions." From his end, he is "all good."
Though Scotty, Jr. said he is doing great, one fan wrote on the same online platform that he still feels bad for the young basketball player’s situation. Another one expressed that Scotty Jr. doesn’t deserve to be treated this way.
Displeased by the news circulating online, one Twitter user chimed in to tell Scotty Jr. that they will help him get through the alleged dating rumors involving his mother.

Yao, who works as a model and shares a child with Beasley, was disappointed that he didn’t make it back to their house and was found "arm-in-arm" with Larsa, who is reality star Kim Kardashian’s former friend.
