Scooter Braun<\/strong><\/a> is the manager and music executive to the stars<\/a> \u2014 or at least he once was.<\/p>\n Braun made a name for himself in 2007<\/a> when he signed Justin Bieber<\/strong><\/a> to his company Raymond Braun Media (RBMG) shortly after discovering the musician on YouTube. Braun continued to expand his empire under his SB Products banner \u2014 and label Schoolboy Records \u2014 by signing Ariana Grande<\/strong><\/a>, Demi Lovato<\/strong><\/a> and more stars.<\/p>\n In August 2023, Braun made headlines when reports surfaced that Bieber, Grande and Lovato were all allegedly jumping ship<\/a> and searching for new representation<\/a>. That same month, an insider with knowledge of the situation claimed to Us Weekly<\/em> that Braun was only making waves due to his latest business venture<\/a> as the CEO of Hybe America.<\/p>\n \u201cAll of Scooter Braun\u2019s clients are under contract and negotiations have been going on for several months as Scooter steps into his larger role as HYBE America CEO,\u201d the source said. \u201cPeople are spreading rumors based on what they know, but they are off. Scooter\u2019s team at SB Projects are still handling both Justin and Ariana<\/a> as they work through what this new structure looks like.\u201d<\/p>\n Other sources, however, insisted otherwise. Braun poked fun at the situation tweeting at the time, \u201cBreaking news \u2026 I\u2019m no longer managing myself.\u201d<\/p>\n
