The Canvas Tells The Story | Scott Yates

How have the Arts impacted your life?
Art has a huge impact on my life, whether it's a painting, music, or architecture. It has a major impact on my mood and emotion. The creativity in every piece has story to tell that speaks to me.

What inspired your first tattoo?
I played basketball in college and our team mascot was panther. After we won a basketball game one night, we all decided to go get a tattoo of a panther. My tattoo symbolizes brotherhood. It was a night I will never forget.

Tell us about your decision to cover your body with art?
Every single piece of art on my body tells a story about my life and what I believe in. My story will continue to grow and I will add to my body canvas.

What has been your experience been like modeling?
Modeling brings out a side of me that I never knew existed. Words can't describe this positive experience and it has been a roller coaster of emotions. Modeling for me has been a great experience, and when I'm on set, there's nothing but positivity around me and laughs. Only if you guys could see the bloopers.

How do you prepare for a photo shoot?
When preparing for a photo shoot I put myself on a strict diet, go hard in the gym everyday and I will go for a 5 mile run every evening. I already take fitness serious, but when I know I have to be in front of the camera I push myself even harder. I want to look my best, and bring my A game to the photo shoot.

Where would you like to see your modeling career in the next 5 years?
I would love to be the face of some big brands. Maybe the face of some high end apparel, or some some alcohol. I can definitely see my face on some billboards, or hosting a TV show. Who wouldn't want to see this face on the bottle of Ciroc, or Hennessy?

I have been seeing this gentleman popping up on Instagram over and over again, So yes I am following him, I don’t know about what the bloopers in which Scott is speaking of. But I just love his style and that inviting smile. The way he carries his self is electrifying, anyone can see that this is a very handsome man and apparel looks good on him. I’m in the fashion circle and would love to have him and his group in a California fashion show here in the San Francisco Bay Area, just so I can get a closer look. By the way Scott, you would look good on the front of anything.

Yes, this man is handsome and definitely ambitious, but there is a dark side to every picture. Perhaps Scott or is it Anthony, can tell us a bit more about is personal life?

I believe this man is a scammer…I’m not sure what his back story is but he likes to fake relationships with lonely black women and blackmail them to send him money. He is disgusting

Can I just correct you there. This very very sexy man right here IS NOT A SCAMMER he had had his identity stolen many many times by Nigerian criminal gangs claiming to be him. SCOTT YATES IS NO SCAMMER but he has been the victim in all of this. Please do not misjudge this gorgeous man for its not his fault he is so incredibly sexy that women worldwide would kill to date him. And the scammers are using his pictures to do it. I should know I have become a victim of these scams myself. Scotty B Yates has NOTHING AT ALL TO DO WITH IT! AND YES HE DOES HAVE A SMILE THE SIZE OF TEXAS !

hey Dornai, my mom is seeing this guy online, and they have a relationship going but I am a bit worried. I saw your comment, do you have more information about this? We know him by Scott, why did you address him as Anthony? Send me an email to [email protected]

Hello there.
Your mum is in a relationship with a scammer I'm afraid. Speaking as a person who was also engaged to Scott above (not the name my scammer used). There are Nigerian criminal gangs stealing Scott's pictures and posing as him themselves under different names. Please tell your mum not to send any gift cards or money to these people. Tell her to block them straight away. Do not let them have her email or phone number because they will steal her identity and clear out her bank account. I know this is true as I am personally living it right now as I'm typing to you. I only gave my scammer fake details so he couldn't.. but boy did he try. Honestly I know how upset your mum will be..as I was to uncover the truth. But please save your mum from this. They really do not love her. They have 40-50 women at a time on these scams and the scammers are being trained in call centres in Nigeria on how to do this effectively (to scam the most money). I've heard it all from sick daughter to no Internet to big contract release fee to customs charges to release them so we can he married. I've heard them all from the guy I thought loved me. Please save her any more pain. It will hurt her now yes but it wi be a lot less painful than what's coming to her trust me... please save your mum from this nightmare.

PLEASE LISTEN UP EVERYONE. SCOTT YATES IS NO SCAMMER. HE HAS HAD HIS IDENTITY STOLEN MULTIPLE TIMES. HE IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS. HE IS A VICTIM TOO. THEY GET HIS IMAGES OFF INSTAGRAM AND SLIGHTLY MODIFY THEM. I KNOW FOR SURE HE IS NOT A SCAMMER JUST A GORGEOUS BLOKE WHO HALF THE WORLD WOULD WANT TO DATE. NO WONDER HIS PICTURES ARE USED. HE IS SO HOT. SCOTT YATES WOULD NEVER NEED TO LOOK FOR LOVE ONLINE...JUST LOOK AT HIM. HE COULD HAVE ANY WOMAN IN THE WORLD. PLEASE BE REAL ABOUT THIS AND DONT BLAME SCOTT FOR WHAT SCAMMERS ARE DOING UNDER HIS PICTURES. IF YOU'RE SEEING THIS SCOTT I AM TRYING TO DEFEND YOUR NAME (AND FACE) .

I was totally wrong about this dude. He is not a scammer but it seems he is happy for the scammers to use his pictures to defraud women worldwide. I think that's worse than scamming itself. I hope you get scammed one day Scotty then you will know how it feels. Get a conscience dude! Don't be fooled by his words. He ain't no Saint! He loves himself and all his instagram is a bragging page... look at how fabulous I am... type stuff. I tried to warn him but he blocked me... lol. My civic duty done. This guy is worse than the scammers.
