LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Ariana Grande has parted ways with her longtime manager Scooter Braun, according to a Monday Billboard report. At the same time, Demi Lovato too has dropped her longtime manager amid rumors that Justin Bieber is parting ways with Braun.
Ten years after initially signing on with the manager, the singer has decided to cut her professional ties with Braun and SB Projects.
Grande's music career began in 2013 with the release of her debut album, 'Yours Truly.' She has released five more albums since then.
Scooter Braun net worth
Braun, an American music manager with a $500 million fortune, shot to fame after finding Justin Bieber on YouTube in 2006, as reported by MARCA.
His journey from hosting parties in college to guiding international pop stars has been impressive. Braun's career success is well known, but questions about his future earnings have been raised due to his fraught relationship with Taylor Swift and the controversy surrounding her catalogue purchase.
Demi Lovato too has split with Braun Scooter
On top of that, Page Six recently confirmed that Demi Lovato also decided to split up with Braun last month. The 'Sorry, Not Sorry' singer, who has been releasing rock versions of many of her songs, has not yet found new management.
Has Justin Bieber removed Scooter Braun as his manager?
Additionally, there were rumours of a split between Justin Bieber and producer Braun on Friday. The two have collaborated since Bieber made his musical debut in 2006.
Representatives for Braun, 42, and the singer of 'Baby' quashed the rumors quickly. According to a source, the pop star's wife, Hailey Bieber, has been a major influence on his most recent significant business decisions, according to Page Six.
Why did celebrities part ways with Scooter Braun?
This abrupt departure from Braun's management comes after Tayloy Swift and the manager famously clashed in June 2019 after Braun acquired the master recordings of the "All Too Well" singer.
Braun sold the Masters for more than $300 million in 2020 as a result of the ongoing dispute, and Swift, 33, vowed to redo her first six albums, which she has already started to do.
What Taylor Swift said to Scooter Braun?
Swift herself criticized Braun for the purchase not long after it was made, calling it "gross-out." She wrote on Tumblr, "Scooter has stripped me of my life's work, that I wasn't given the opportunity to buy."
"Essentially, my musical legacy is about to lie in the hands of someone who tried to dismantle it," she continued. "For years I asked, pleaded for a chance to own my work. Instead, I was given an opportunity to sign back up to Big Machine Records and 'earn' one album back at a time, one for every new one I turned in", as reported by PageSix.
