Justin Bieber’s ex-manager Scooter Braun breaks silence on new Swag album after settling years-long money feud

BBG News

Scooter Braun has broken his silence on former client Justin Bieber’s new album.

In 2023, Braun and Bieber formally ended their partnership, an event that reverberated significantly within the music industry.

Currently, the ex-music manager who left his position in 2024 has openly expressed his opinions about Justin Bieber’s recent musical output.

On this weekend’s blissful beginning, I’ve found myself receiving numerous messages concerning my feelings towards Justin’s latest album. To put it simply, let me share this:

[Here, you can insert your own thoughts about the album in a natural and easy-to-read manner.]

Without question, this album embodies Justin Bieber like no other before. It’s stunningly honest, unpolished, and undeniably true to his essence. And that authenticity is significant.

He continued, ‘I’ve had the privilege of witnessing his growth for almost two decades.’

On this adventure of mine, I stumbled upon a moment where an artist truly found their stride – and boy, did they shine here!

‘He’s poured his soul into this project, and you can feel it in every single run.’

Braun stated that “Daisies” is his preferred song from the album, and he believes Bieber’s voice is simply outstanding, even describing it as the best in the global music scene.

Braun couldn’t stop praising Bieber and the album, finally adding that he was planning to take his children to watch a Superman movie.

Braun discovered Bieber, 31, via his YouTube videos in 2008 when he was 13-years-old.

For 15 long, passionate years, I stood by him through thick and thin, but alas, our bond was tested when the cataclysmic collapse of his Justice World Tour in 2022 took a toll on our financial stability.

Following Justin Bieber’s cancellation of his Justice tour, Braun’s company, HYBE America, stepped in to assist the singer in repaying a portion of the $40 million advance he had initially received from AEG – specifically, the $26 million sum.

According to reports, Bieber was said to have agreed to repay the funds over a decade, but it’s claimed he ceased making payments to HYBE following the initial installment.

Previously, Braun asserted that Bieber, who recently declared the release of a new album on Thursday, allegedly owes him multiple millions of dollars in unpaid commission fees.

For Bieber’s benefit, the Grammy-winning artist will now need to pay Braun just half of the approximately $11 million in unpaid commissions that he is alleged to owe him.

DailyMail.com has reached out to representatives for both Bieber and Braun for comment. 

The announcement of the settlement occurred barely a month after TMZ reported that Justin Bieber was discussing the specifics of a settlement with Scooter Braun, suggesting that they were close to reaching an agreement within a few weeks’ time.

In May, it was disclosed that a supposed audit carried out by PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), which was arranged by Braun’s entertainment firm, Hybe America, had yielded its findings.

After a six-month long probe, it was concluded in April that Justin Bieber reportedly owes Scooter Braun approximately 8.8 million dollars.

Despite not openly challenging the findings of PwC’s audit, Bieber’s team revealed they had independently audited his business transactions with Braun on their own.

However, they didn’t share how its results compared to the independent audit.

Regardless of claims about Justin Bieber’s supposed debts coming from a different source, it seems that Braun was prepared to wipe out the entire $8 million debt.

Nonetheless, according to TMZ’s informants, there were still two significant hurdles left before reaching an accord between the parties involved.

The tour started in February 2022, having been delayed not once but twice – initially from 2020, and then again in 2021 – all because of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
