Scooter Braun – live: Confusion as more artists reportedly join Ariana Grande in leaving music mogul
ariana #ariana
Scooter Braun, one of the world’s biggest music managers, appeared unbothered at reports this week that two of his star clients have parted ways with him.
This week, it was claimed that pop star Demi Lovato and singer, actor and West End star Idina Menzel had exited Braun’s SB projects. Sources close to both artists confirmed this to The Independent.
The Independent has contacted Braun’s representatives for comment.
Rumours have been circulating that pop singer Ariana Grande and Justin Bieber, both of whom have been with Braun since they launched their debut albums, are also set to split from the 42-year-old’s management services.
However, Bieber and Braun’s representatives denied the pair were severing professional ties.
On Twitter/X on Tuesday (22 August), Braun broke his silence by poking fun at the speculation, writing: “Breaking news… I’m no longer managing myself.”

Scooter Braun has famously been embroiled in a feud with Taylor Swift since 2019, when he purchased her longtime label, Big Machine Records and become the owner of the master recordings of her first six studio albums.
In November 2020, Braun sold the masters to an investment fund in a deal believed to be more than $300m (£234m).
At the time of the sale, Swift – who had wished to buy the masters herself – condemned Braun and called him a “bully” and the “definition of a toxic male privilege in our industry”.
The singer, 33, was inspired to re-record her earlier music, resulting in her ongoing Taylor’s Version series.
So far she has recorded: Fearless (Taylor’s Version), Red (Taylor’s Version) and Speak Now (Taylor’s Version).
The latest instalment 1989 (Taylor’s Version) is scheduled to arrive on 27 October.

In 2006, two years before he signed Justin Bieber and 12 years before Georgia implemented hands-free phone laws for motorists, Scooter Braun was juggling multiple cellular devices from behind the wheel of a purple Mercedes in Atlanta. The 23-year-old was fielding calls from venues and celebrity publicists, having forged a reputation for himself as a well-connected party promoter – an image he was trying to shed in front of the local reporter who was in the car profiling him. Then Braun was pulled over and ticketed for not wearing his seatbelt.

Amid the former drama between Taylor Swift and Scooter Braun, Pharrell Williams had commented on their “unfortunate” feud.
“It’s really unfortunate, you know. There was room for him to make his acquisition because that’s just the way the business is, and I felt for her and not being able to be in control of it,” the “Happy“ singer/producer said in a 2020 interview with Variety.
“There’s a system in place that’s just all wrong. He’s a businessman and he also represents artists, so from his point of view he’s just making an acquisition of something that he felt would be a good investment. But the artist should have the opportunity [to retain ownership], and I don’t know whether she did or she didn’t.

Scooter Braun previously claimed Taylor Swift feud was ‘confusing’ and ‘not based on anything factual’
Wednesday 23 August 2023 18:00 , Inga Parkel
A few years after Taylor Swift blew the lid off Scooter Braun’s purchase of her longtime label, Big Machine Records, in 2019, the music manager claimed he found the feud “confusing” and “not based on anything factual”.
In a 2021 interview with Variety, Braun commented on the public fallout with Swift, who is currently re-recording the masters to her first albums with Universal Music Group.
“I regret and it makes me sad that Taylor had that reaction to the deal,” Braun said. “All of what happened has been very confusing and not based on anything factual. I don’t know what story she was told. I asked for her to sit down with me several times, but she refused. I offered to sell her the catalog back and went under NDA, but her team refused. It all seems very unfortunate. Open communication is important and can lead to understanding. She and I only met briefly three or four times in the past, and all our interactions were really friendly and kind. I find her to be an incredibly talented artist and wish her nothing but the best.”
In November 2020, Swift said, “[Braun] would never even quote my team a price” and that she was asked to sign a non-disclosure agreement that would “silence [her] forever.” Braun’s team disputes the claim.

At the time, Swift publicly accused her former manager of “incessant bullying” and claimed he was stopping her from performing her old hits after his company bought her back catalogue in June.
Braun had remained silent on the issue until months later, claiming threats to his children had forced him to speak out.
