Scooter’s new statement comes amid multiple reports that superstars including Justin Bieber and Ariana Grande have stopped working with him after longtime partnerships. A music industry source with knowledge of the situation addressed the speculation, telling Access Hollywood on Tuesday that there’s a bigger picture at play many don’t realize.
“All of Scooter Braun’s clients are under contract and negotiations have been going on for several months as Scooter steps into his larger role as HYBE America CEO. People are spreading rumors based on what they know, but they are off. Scooter’s team at SB Projects are still handling both Justin and Ariana as they work through what this new structure looks like,” the source said.
