Update on Justin Bieber and Scooter Braun’s whole…thing! According to a source who spoke with Us Weekly, not only has Justin “officially let Scooter go as his manager,” Hailey Bieber “led the charge that led Justin to leave him for another manager.” And apparently Bieber has been “taking meetings with other managers for three years.”
This comes amid an insider telling Page Six that Hailey is extremely involved in Justin’s business, and they’re well on their way to being a ~power couple~. Which, love that for them!
“Hailey has taken control and is heavily involved. She’s a part of meetings and she’s talking a lot for him,” their source said. “She’s the voice. They’re becoming this power couple. She’s a big part of everything he’s doing.”
Just FYI, there have been conflicting reports as to whether or not Justin and Scooter have actually parted ways. Page Six, for example, claims they haven’t. However, a source recently told People that “Justin’s been working on his new record for the last six months. Scooter and SB Projects have not set up one session or done one thing for this [new] record. The relationship with Scooter has run its course.”
That said, a source told both Us Weekly, People and Variety that “All of Scooter Braun’s clients are under contract and negotiations have been going on for several months as Scooter steps into his larger role as HYBE America CEO. People are spreading rumors based on what they know, but they are off. Scooter’s team at SB Projects are still handling both Justin and Ariana as they work through what this new structure looks like.”
