Now, the reason why 178 00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:52,240 Speaker 2: TMZ did this story is because when Ariana Grande announced 179 00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:54,440 Speaker 2: that she was officially splitting ways with Scooter Bron. There 180 00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:59,600 Speaker 2: had already been conversation around because he also represents works 181 00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:02,720 Speaker 2: with Demmi la He had Ariana Grande and he had 182 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,160 Speaker 2: Justin Bieber all at the time at the same time, right, 183 00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:08,079 Speaker 2: so there was rumors that him and Demi Levado were splitting, 184 00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:10,120 Speaker 2: and then that came out to not be true, and 185 00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:13,240 Speaker 2: then there was a conversation around him and Ariana Grande 186 00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:15,959 Speaker 2: going their separate ways that came out to be true. 187 00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:18,520 Speaker 2: And then on top of all this, there have been 188 00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:20,960 Speaker 2: a conversation that Scooter Bron and Justin Bieber were not 189 00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:23,439 Speaker 2: seeing eyed eye. So this story that they did was 190 00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:25,600 Speaker 2: kind of like clearing up, you know, who's working with 191 00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:28,120 Speaker 2: who and who's not. I then was told when this 192 00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:31,240 Speaker 2: story broke, and this was an exclusive that I broke 193 00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:35,320 Speaker 2: back in August twenty twenty three, that although on paper, 194 00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:39,480 Speaker 2: Justin Bieber was still listed as Scooter Bron's talent, like 195 00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:42,320 Speaker 2: you know, Scooter Bron was still managing Justin Bieber and 196 00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:45,760 Speaker 2: there was still recently a deal in play. I was 197 00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:48,240 Speaker 2: told that that was true on paper, but that Justin 198 00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:50,480 Speaker 2: Bieber is not at all at the time, he was 199 00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:53,240 Speaker 2: not at all happy about working with Scooter. I was 200 00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:55,960 Speaker 2: told that the relationship at that point, back in August 201 00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:58,880 Speaker 2: of twenty twenty three was obsolete. Now my source had 202 00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:01,280 Speaker 2: put it to me, like Justin is not even interested 203 00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:03,040 Speaker 2: in being in the same room as Scooter. So that 204 00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:06,760 Speaker 2: was a clear telltale sign that there was something wrong, 205 00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:09,679 Speaker 2: because you go from you know, this man discovered you 206 00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:12,800 Speaker 2: as a kid, and you guys are they literally were like. 207 00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:14,240 Speaker 3: Family like you would see. 208 00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:16,280 Speaker 2: And Scooter seems to be close to I don't know 209 00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:18,120 Speaker 2: him personally, but Scooter bron seems to be close to 210 00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:20,040 Speaker 2: all of his artists, and it seems like, you know, 211 00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:21,400 Speaker 2: he takes all of his artists. 212 00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:21,720 Speaker 3: Under his wing. 213 00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:23,880 Speaker 2: I don't know what the disconnect here between him and 214 00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:26,280 Speaker 2: Justin Bieber was. Well at the time, I didn't We 215 00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:28,160 Speaker 2: didn't found out some more information now, which is what 216 00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:30,280 Speaker 2: we're going to get into, but there was clearly a 217 00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:32,840 Speaker 2: disconnect at this time. So I was told that they 218 00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:34,360 Speaker 2: didn't even want to be in the same room together 219 00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:37,320 Speaker 2: back in August of twenty twenty three, and then I 220 00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:39,560 Speaker 2: was also told that there is little to know. At 221 00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:42,800 Speaker 2: that time, there was little to no direct communication between 222 00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:47,120 Speaker 2: Justin Bieber and Scooter Brian. At that point, all they 223 00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:49,800 Speaker 2: were doing was business dealings and that was being done 224 00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:51,760 Speaker 2: through a legal department. 225 00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:54,080 Speaker 3: So that was a huge telltale sign. 226 00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:57,200 Speaker 2: Now fast forward, we were in you know, the second 227 00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:00,400 Speaker 2: week of July. It's early July twenty twenty five, so 228 00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:03,560 Speaker 2: this has been brewing for some time. And again there's 229 00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:06,480 Speaker 2: all these rumors of money issues and all these things. 230 00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:08,640 Speaker 3: So what TMZ was told was. 231 00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:13,280 Speaker 2: That there was a forty million dollar advance from AEG 232 00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:16,360 Speaker 2: that Justin Bieber was given for his Justice tour. 233 00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:18,439 Speaker 3: For his Justice tour, but when. 234 00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:21,240 Speaker 2: Justin Bieber decided to not do the tour, early AG 235 00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:25,240 Speaker 2: demanded that Justin Bieber repaid them twenty six million dollars 236 00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:28,560 Speaker 2: at that advance. Scooter's company HIBE, agreed to pay that 237 00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:32,640 Speaker 2: amount to AEG that was old and then Justin agreed 238 00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:37,160 Speaker 2: to repay HIBE over ten years. From what TMZ is reporting, 239 00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:40,040 Speaker 2: they're legend that Justin Bieber only made one payment to 240 00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:43,360 Speaker 2: Scooter Broun and then he completely stopped paying. But now 241 00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:47,160 Speaker 2: Justin Bieber has made good on that debt plus another one. 242 00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:49,720 Speaker 2: They said that there was an additional debt. So according 243 00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:52,760 Speaker 2: to their sources. They say the settlement terms also called 244 00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:55,200 Speaker 2: for Scooter to get back Scooter bron to get back 245 00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:58,800 Speaker 2: half of eleven million dollars that he said Justin owed 246 00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:01,520 Speaker 2: him in various unpaid the missions that are piled up 247 00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:03,240 Speaker 2: over the years, because like I told you guys, from 248 00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:06,119 Speaker 2: what my source had told me, they were only doing business, 249 00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:09,080 Speaker 2: you know, through attorneys, but there was no direct contact. 250 00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:12,080 Speaker 2: But Justin wasn't happy, even though they were still working 251 00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:14,319 Speaker 2: with each other on paper, Justin was not happy. So 252 00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:18,280 Speaker 2: I can kind of see where the communication slipped. But yeah, 253 00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:21,520 Speaker 2: so you know, things have been settled and now Justin 254 00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:26,760 Speaker 2: Bieber comes out with this surprise album. Now again, it's 255 00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:29,840 Speaker 2: been some time since Justin Bieber has dropped the music, 256 00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:33,920 Speaker 2: right and Justin Bieber, you know, being discovered by Scooter 257 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:37,240 Speaker 2: Braun and Usher being brought to the forefront by Usher. 258 00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:38,600 Speaker 2: For a lot of people, a lot of people think 259 00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:41,600 Speaker 2: that Usher solely is who discover Justin Bieber. But that's 260 00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:45,800 Speaker 2: because Usher really put him under his wing, like tremendous, 261 00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:49,439 Speaker 2: tremendously I mean from the way that Justin Bieber performs 262 00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:51,080 Speaker 2: to you know, some people will say to how he 263 00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:55,319 Speaker 2: sings to his musical selection on all of his projects. 264 00:12:55,679 --> 00:13:00,120 Speaker 2: He is very much the brainchild of Usher and and 265 00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:03,439 Speaker 2: a you know like that that Atlanta soul. Now, let 266 00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:05,160 Speaker 2: me tell you how Justin Bieber might have got himself 267 00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:07,920 Speaker 2: in trouble on this album, right, because there's a skit 268 00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:10,640 Speaker 2: on this project with comedian Drewski. 269 00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:11,360 Speaker 3: There's a couple of them. 270 00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:14,760 Speaker 2: There's a believer about two one of them is toward 271 00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:17,040 Speaker 2: the end of the album and Drew Ski is being 272 00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:18,920 Speaker 2: you know, funny Drew Ski.

But I thought that 322 00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:39,200 Speaker 2: that was an obvious known thing because we created so 323 00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:41,640 Speaker 2: many different genres of music that stem from such a 324 00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:46,080 Speaker 2: soulful place, including rock, including you know, the blues and 325 00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:49,280 Speaker 2: jazz and all these things. I never knew we had 326 00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:52,520 Speaker 2: an issue of being equated to soul. But then you know, 327 00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:57,480 Speaker 2: the girls, the girlies, the people are also in a 328 00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:02,880 Speaker 2: very big tizzy because Justin Bieber, just you know, just 329 00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:04,760 Speaker 2: the whole thing of you got the two percent black, 330 00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:06,640 Speaker 2: and Justin Bier laughed it off and says, thank you. 331 00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:10,040 Speaker 2: People are like, we're too inviting to these things, Like 332 00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:11,960 Speaker 2: we're way too inviting to these things.

I'm not saying that it was right, but 340 00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:37,560 Speaker 2: it was a long time ago.
