I think guys are mentioning their role models...not mentors as @OD was asking. For those who're off the track...
''A mentor is an individual, usually older, always more experienced, who helps and guides another individual’s development. This guidance is not done for personal gain. Mentorship is done mainly in the business world and in leadership,though sometimes in other aspects of life too''
Nevermind what haters say, ignore them til they fade away - Just live your life
