Justin Bieber recently cut ties with longtime manager Scooter Braun, RadarOnline.com has learned. The move reportedly came as Justin and his wife, Hailey Bieber, undertook a “larger house cleaning” of their business affairs.
In a surprising development to come months after Justin postponed a world tour to focus on his mental and physical health, sources familiar with the situation revealed that the 29-year-old hitmaker and Braun, 42, “haven’t spoken in months.”
“Bieber and Scooter are kinda done,” the outlet reported. “I heard this week that Justin Bieber has been poking around for a new agency or manager, which begged the question: What about Scooter Braun?”
Puck continued, “Turns out that Bieber and the manager who built his empire (and his ridiculous public persona) on Bieber’s talents haven’t spoken in months, per multiple sources.”
The outlet also noted that Justin and Braun’s recent split is “tough” because the Love Yourself singer signed a new deal with Braun just before the 42-year-old music exec sold his Ithaca Holdings to a South Korean media company in 2021.
Justin reportedly still has “time left” on the management deal he signed with Braun before Ithaca Holdings was sold to HYPE in 2021, and neither party has commented on or confirmed the reported split.
Justin also recently hired another new lawyer, Michael Rhodes, who helped the Baby singer sell off his music catalog for a whopping $200 million to Hipgnosis Songs Capital.
As RadarOnline.com previously reported, Justin’s split from Braun and Justin and Hailey’s decision to “clean house” came months after both Justin and Hailey suffered serious health issues.

The insider continued, “She doesn’t want to see him rush back to performing when he’s not truly ready and wind up crashing and burning.”
“Not only does she love him to bits, but she also knows she’ll be the one left to pick up the pieces if he goes too fast.”
