As a digital producer Scottie Beam built up quite a following on all social media platforms. Her job at Hot 97 was to keep the station's social media posts up to date. She appeared regularly on the Ebro in the Morning Show and recently started to do some on-camera gigs for Revolt TV. But updating apps just wasn't fulfilling despite her popularity. The daughter of New York City's Urban AC station WBLS' midday personality Shaila, decided to quit and create an opportunity for herself in the media industry.
She talks about her decision to quit and what is on the horizon for her on the Champs Sports twitter post and the Black Girl podcast with other staffers at Hot 97.
Talked to @champssports about one day having my own show & why it was time to leave the Hot 97 nest :)
The tired narrative that successful Black NFL and NBA players were all raised by single mothers. Sports media loves to paint that massively familiarized trope every chance they get. Yes many were raised by their fathers in two parent households. Just take a look at the 2026 NBA Draft. Like many, we were surprised to see Dwyane Wade's father during his HOF Ceremony. Obviously a great relationship. JR Smith says the NBA created a rift between him and his father, and that distance impacted him early in his career.
Of course his father is standing right next to his mother. https://t.co/meImJ0fJqh
