Something’s up with Scooter Braun. Last week, Puck correspondent Matthew Belloni reported that Justin Bieber, the pop star, and Braun, the mega-manager who discovered him, have not spoken in months and that Bieber is actively looking for new management. “Neither side is confirming a split, but I’m told they’re headed separate ways, and their lawyers are involved,” Belloni wrote. And Bieber is not the only one exiting SB Projects, Braun’s management company: Billboard reported yesterday that Demi Lovato split with Braun last month, and that Ariana Grande has also left the building. Even J. Balvin is out (per Billboard, he left SB Projects in May). That’s pretty much all of Braun’s big clients. What is happening?
