Justin Bieber openly 'ripped' a big man in showbiz, what's going on?

The online community accidentally discovered that Justin Bieber had stopped following and may have even blocked Scooter Braun on social media platforms. Scooter is the producer and former manager of the male singer, they have had a close relationship for 16 years.

Recently, Justin BieBer caused a stir in public opinion when he suddenly pressed the button to unfollow the character who had a great influence on his music career on the social media platform, which is Scooter Braun - Justin Bieber's long-time producer and manager. It is still unclear why Justin Bieber directly pressed the button to unfollow his former manager, people continued to talk when they discovered that all of Scooter Braun's social media accounts, social media accounts had been locked.

The incident confused fans and raised the question of whether the long-standing relationship between Scooter Braun and Justin Bieber had officially ended and the singer's former manager hurriedly "shut down" all social networking sites at this time to avoid scrutiny from the public?

Notably, Justin Bieber previously publicly supported Scooter Braun in the tense controversy between the male manager and Taylor Swift. In 2019, Scooter Braun and Taylor Swift became entangled in a copyright dispute over original recordings after Braun acquired Big Machine Label Group (Swift's management unit from 2006 to 2018) for $300 million, winnin.g the rights to buy and sell and release Taylor Swift's first six albums.

This deal caused her to lose the opportunity to buy back the ownership of her compositions because the two had been at friction. The singer called the sale a "worst-case scenario" in a letter on his personal page, announcing that he would regain ownership of the song by re-recording the albums. Since 2019, Taylor Swift has released four of her six albums under the Taylor's Version label. She also added songs that had never been released, placing them in the From the Vault Tracks category.

"I want to own my music and believe that any artist who has the desire like me can do it," Swift told the audience during The Eras Tour in Minneapolis in 2023. At that time, she had just released her third re-recorded album Speak Now (Taylor's Version).

As of August 2023, Billboard reported that Justin Bieber still has about 4 more years on his contract, following a series of modifications to the singer's agreement with Scooter Braun made in 2020. In the same report, sources close to the singer's business activities said that he was focusing on handling his predicament with his manager at the time.

In June 2024, Scooter Braun announced his retirement (he still serves as CEO of HYBE America - the North American version of HYBE). The news comes after a series of headlines about artists leaving his SB Projects, including Ariana Grande, Demi Lovato, and J Balvin.

"23 years. That's when I worked as a music manager," Scooter Braun wrote in a statement posted on the social media platform at the time. When sharing some highlights of his management career, the famous producer devoted a whole paragraph to the two "pet chickens", Ariana Grande and Justin Bieber: "Justin and Ariana were both young teenagers when I started with them.

Justin is a 13-year-old street performer in Canada and Ariana is a young actress for Nickelodeon. Seeing them both become legends like today will forever be one of my greatest honors. When we change our working relationship now, I will continue to support them with the same passion that I had when they first started."

Although he no longer has a working relationship with these artists, the former manager affirmed that he always supports them with "the same passion as in the beginning".
