Future Pays Tribute to Young Scooter: ‘Life Will Never Be the Same’
Future posted a tribute to his recently deceased friend and collaborator Young Scooter on his Instagram Story.
“Life will never be the same without you my brother,” he wrote yesterday (Apr. 2) over a video of him and Scooter backstage somewhere. “I love you. This sh—t unreal.” He then posted a couple photos of the them hanging out together.
A few days after Scooter’s untimely passing, Future sent out a tweet seemingly referring to his friend, saying, “I can hear you loud and clear my brother(street)…we got you, kid.”
Young Scooter passed over the weekend on his 39th birthday in what has turned out to be a confusing ordeal causing the Atlanta police department to have a press conference to combat social media rumors online that they had shot the rapper after responding to a call.
The Fulton County Medical Examiner’s autopsy seemed to back up the APD’s statement by reporting that his cause of death was due to a cut to his thigh which cause substantial blood loss.
“Mr. Bailey sustained a penetrating injury of his right thigh that created marked blood loss,” the coroner told Rolling Stone. “This injury was not a gunshot wound. Mr. Bailey injured himself on organic (wooden) fencing material and/or woody debris after vaulting at least one fence.”
Scooter was one of the first artists singed to Future’s Freebandz label and the two worked on a bunch of records together over the years, most notably “Jet Lag” which also featured the late Juice Wrld off of his collab album with Future, Wrld on Drugs, “Doh Doh” from Beast Mode 2, and the single “Hard to Handle.”
