"everytime" should have been the fourth hit single. It's used in her video on Instagram for the Sweetener era

She’s good with shifting attention away from controversy.

Wait...what? Ariana too? Justin is still with him, despite the rumor, though.

I ultimately believe his management company is folding, or he has decided to retire. He has been running his own show for almost 15 years and has devoted the majority of his adult life to the business. He has little children, and we know he lost his wife to divorce.
I suspect his priorities are shifting. He has enough cash flow to step back.

I doubt this would be playing out in tabloids if Scooter were retiring lol. He would have put out a statement by now. Why else deny that Justin dropped him? Something must be brewing for all his clients to be leaving him like this.

Maybe there is nothing more to it than him retiring. It just seems incredibly messy to let it all filter out like this instead of getting ahead of the narrative. It just doesn't make sense to me to go the extra step of denying Justin is leaving him to "save face" if he could set the record straight that easily.

Billboard is reporting Ariana and Demi leaving now too. So that seems pretty official at least.

From Variety: “ Yet sources tell Variety that Bieber and Grande are not leaving the company, but rather Braun is continuing to step back from day-to-day management to focus on his role as CEO of HYBE America, the South Korean entertainment giant behind K-pop titans BTS, to which he sold Ithaca Holdings, the parent company for his SB Projects management business, for a whopping $1.05 billion in 2021.” I told you.

You just can’t be an asshole like that anymore.”

TMZ reports that she (and Justin) are still being managed by him.

It was already out there a week and half ago that Bieber was no longer being managed by him, for reasons such as touring which Biebs does not want to do, the cheap* sale for his music, and supposedly for Scooter’s interactions with Hailey Baldwin. The former 2 are quite believable, the latter, meh.
Scooter is trying to save face - his stars are leaving/have already left him, but if you choose to believe another narrative, go for it.

The truth is probably that there are tight contracts being discussed right now.
I wonder what's the deal with Scooter. Something's gonna leak soon.

An anniversary version of an album with 0 unreleased songs is bleh. I don’t get why artists/labels keep doing these type of cash grabs where they tack on some remixes or performances.
Still, can’t believe it’s 10 years. I remember staying up for the release and being blown away from the album and truly impressed with her as an artist. Never would’ve imagined the career she ended up having!
