<\/p>\n

The thing about this Scooter Braun situation is that I can\u2019t stand it when Taylor Swift is right about someone. Taylor has made it clear that Braun is Snake Enemy #1, replacing Katy Perry (presumably). Jake Gyllenhaal and John Mayer are snake-enemies as well, but Scooter is definitely ranked above them. In 2018, Braun purchased Big Machine Record Group, which held the masters for Taylor Swift\u2019s first six studio albums. Taylor threw a massive fit about Braun\u2019s purchase and she weaponized her fans against Braun and Scott Borchetta, to the point where Scooter\u2019s then-wife called out Taylor for her behavior and her fans\u2019 behavior (the Snake Fam were calling in death threats and calling Scooter\u2019s home). <\/p>\n

Braun quickly managed to unload Big Machine\u2019s catalog for a profit, then he sold his Ithaca Holdings for $1.05 billion. He is currently phasing into the position of American CEO of HYBE, all while still operating his management company SC Projects. SB Projects is\/was the management home of Justin Bieber, Ariana Grande, Demi Lovato, J Balvin and more. Except that the rumor mill is churning that Braun is losing all of his pop star clients and no one knows what\u2019s going on. Variety tried to get to the bottom of it and even they don\u2019t know who to believe. Some highlights:<\/p>\n

\n

Demi Lovato is definitely out, but Bieber & Grande might not be:<\/strong> Bieber\u2019s allegedly impending departure was strenuously denied by multiple sources (although Puck, which first reported the news, insists the story is accurate, as does at least one source Variety spoke with). And Grande\u2019s exit \u2014 which, if true, would be the second time she\u2019s parted ways with him \u2014 was strenuously denied by sources close to Braun while a rep for the singer did not respond to Variety\u2019s requests for comment (although unnamed sources apparently confirmed the split to Billboard).<\/p>\n

Braun is stepping back from the daily management of SB Projects:<\/strong> Yet some sources tell Variety that Bieber and Grande are not leaving the company, but rather Braun is continuing to step back from day-to-day management to focus on his role as CEO of HYBE America, the South Korean entertainment giant behind K-pop titans BTS, to which he sold Ithaca Holdings, the parent company for his SB Projects management business, for a whopping $1.05 billion in 2021. \u201cAll of Scooter Braun\u2019s clients are under contract and negotiations have been going on for several months as Scooter steps into his larger role as HYBE America CEO,\u201d the source says. \u201cPeople are spreading rumors based on what they know, but they are off. Scooter\u2019s team at SB Projects are still handling both Justin and Ariana as they work through what this new structure looks like.\u201d However, other sources insist that Bieber, who recently \u201ccleaned house\u201d and brought in a new attorney, agency and business manager, is set on leaving SB Projects.<\/p>\n

This quote possibly came from Taylor Swift:<\/strong> \u201cHe\u2019s imploding,\u201d one source says, suggesting unsavory revelations are in the works. \u201cIt\u2019s a different world since the pandemic. You just can\u2019t be an asshole like that anymore.\u201d However, another source counters, \u201cHe\u2019s getting out of management \u2014 he has been for years. That\u2019s the real story.\u201d<\/p>\n

Braun hasn\u2019t even been involved in the daily careers of his clients in recent years:<\/strong> Indeed, several sources tell Variety that Braun has been only tangentially involved in the careers of even his biggest artists in recent years, with SB Projects\u2019 longtime executives handling the demanding day-to-day work of managing major artists. Indeed, the CEO of a company valued at $11 billion presumably would not have time for such attention, even though both Bieber and Grande have been relatively inactive in recent years. Meanwhile, his first major move as CEO of HYBE America was the acquisition of Atlanta hip-hop powerhouse Quality Control, home to Migos, Lil Baby, Lil Yachty and others, for $320 million.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Variety is also trying to make it sound suspicious that Justin Bieber and Ariana Grande have been relatively quiet professionally in recent years, to which I say\u2026 the pandemic and health issues? Bieber had to cancel his tour because of Ramsay Hunt Syndrome, and Ariana was one of the few people taking the pandemic seriously. I mean, I don\u2019t know. I doubt Braun was like \u201cyou guys need to go underground for a while, don\u2019t make any new music for a few years!\u201d<\/em> That doesn\u2019t make any sense. Anyway, if Taylor Swift was right about Braun, so be it and I\u2019ll admit it. But to me, this sounds like a wannabe mogul who is overextended professionally and trying to transition into a less hands-on executive lifestyle. I also kind of doubt that Bieber and Braun had some kind of falling out, and if Bieber is leaving, it\u2019s more about Bieber wanting to change his professional life overall. <\/p>\n
