Justin Bieber Denies Split Rumors with Manager Scooter Braun

• music

Despite the recent media storm, Justin Bieber and his seasoned manager, Scooter Braun, are not parting ways. Representatives for both the pop icon and the manager debunked rumors of a professional split this past Friday, as reported by Page Six.

The frenzy was sparked by a piece from Puck News, which claimed that Bieber and Braun had been distant and hadn’t communicated in several months. While both figures have chosen silence over addressing the rumors head-on, their online activities give fans a different perspective.

Braun's Response Amid Rumors

The 42-year-old Braun, seemingly unfazed by the swirling rumors, recently shared lively snapshots on Instagram while vacationing with friends, including R&B superstar Usher. His post, succinctly captioned "Love," prompted Bieber's fans to probe about the 29-year-old singer.

Comments such as "What happened with Justin????" flooded the section. Interestingly, Bieber’s last post on his Instagram dates back to May 18, where he celebrated his wife Hailey's Rhode UK line launch, lovingly expressing, "Proud of you." The bond between Bieber and Braun has roots back in 2006, when the latter stumbled upon the former's videos on YouTube.

Braun was instrumental in catapulting Bieber to international fame, steering him through chart-topping albums and unparalleled success. On another note, Braun has been a focal point in the media due to his contentious spat with Taylor Swift over the rights to her master recordings.

Reflecting on the tumultuous chapter on NPR’s "The Limits with Jay Williams" podcast in September 2022, Braun opened up about the lessons he gleaned, especially around presumptions and the pitfalls of arrogance. Meanwhile, Swift, undeterred by past controversies, is actively re-recording her initial albums.

Fans have already been treated to remastered versions of her classics such as "Fearless," "Speak Now," and "Red." Eagerly awaited is “1989 (Taylor’s Version),” which Swift teased during her Eras Tour's final Los Angeles performance.

Swift shared her enthusiasm on Instagram, saying, “The 1989 album changed my life...my version of it will be out October 27th”. Eluding to the album's unique additions, she added, “This is my most FAVORITE re-record...

the 5 From The Vault tracks are so insane”. In these times of speculations and media whirlwinds, it remains crucial for fans and the public to discern between rumors and reality, as the story of Bieber and Braun has shown.
