News about Scooter Braun

When Justin Bieber signed his first record deal with Usher's label in 2008, his mother Pattie Mallette had no doubts he would be a star.  Pattie, 49, was fundamental to her son's early success - accompanying him on his first trip to Atlanta to meet Scooter Braun, and uploading his covers to YouTube, where his talent was first discovered. Here, FEMAIL reveals how Pattie's decision to sign her son away ultimately triggered the chain of events that led him to Diddy (pictured with Justin, right in 2010). Pattie is pictured with Justin (left, centre, and right inset) and with his wife Hailey (left inset).

The pop superstar, 34, who recently dethroned Rihanna as the world's richest female musician , does not feel the need to acknowledge Scooter's comments so long after their dispute. 'Taylor has moved on and she does not need to acknowledge Scooter's praise,' an insider told DailyMail.com.

Music fans have started speculating that Taylor, 34, could be releasing a new album next week after it was confirmed that two male singers had delayed the release of their records on October 18. People are now convinced that both men made the decision to push their releases back because Taylor will be dropping Reputation (Taylor's Version).

Usher revealed that he would never allow his children to stay with Diddy in a past interview that has resurfaced in the wake of the rapper's arrest.  The Burn singer was sent to live with Diddy for a year in 1994 by his manager L.A Reid for what has been referred to as 'Puffy Flavor Camp'. He was just 14 at the time.  Reflecting on his experience at the camp as a teen, Usher, 45, shared in a 2016 chat on The Howard Stern show: 'It was pretty wild. It was crazy. There were very curious things taking place and I didn't necessarily understand it.'

In his 2016 memoir, L.A. Reid, who signed Usher to his label LaFace Records, admitted he feared he was being 'irresponsible' by sending the teenager to live with 'the wildest party guy in the country'. Reid wanted Usher (pictured in New York, left, while he was living with Diddy) to be 'edgier' and asked his friend and colleague 'Puffy' to 'teach him your swagger'. Inset; Reid with Usher in 2010.

Sean 'Diddy' Combs, 54, was arrested at Park Hyatt Hotel in New York City and has since been charged with sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution - all of which he pleaded not guilty to in a Manhattan court on Tuesday. Since Diddy's detention, several of Combs' past acquaintances - including 50 Cent and Mary J Blige - have spoken out against him. But many other stars who have been associated with Combs over the years are yet to publicly comment on his case amid accusations the musician hosted 'freak offs' in his homes - which allegedly involved coerced sex acts that prosecutors believe Combs orchestrated and recorded, according to a federal indictment. Here, DailyMail.com looks at A-listers who are known to have been close with Diddy over the years, but are yet to speak publicly since his arrest.

From supermodels to singers, social media stars and significant members of the British monarchy, it's fair to say Sean ' Diddy ' Combs has enjoyed his fair share of high profile friendships over a decades-spanning career. But his place in the higher echelons of the celebrity stratosphere has been significantly compromised following his arrest and indictment on charges ranging from sex trafficking to forced labor, kidnapping, arson, bribery, and obstruction of justice. As of Thursday, the wealthy rapper and producer responsible for defining east coast hip hop in the 1990s is languishing in jail, his reputation in tatters and his career hanging precariously in the balance.

Scooter Braun suggested he was on Taylor Swift's side when it comes to the upcoming presidential election in a social media response to Donald Trump. The 43-year-old talent manager shared a response to the Republican presidential nominee in his Instagram Stories on Sunday after Trump lashed out at Swift, 34, on his social media platform, Truth Social. 'I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT!' Trump seethed on Sunday, after the songstress shared an endorsement shortly after his poorly reviewed debate performance in which she put her support behind Democratic Presidential Nominee Kamala Harris.

Taylor Swift is on top of the world, last night picking up seven VMAs and cementing her status as the most decorated solo artist of all time. But, as the old adage says, you don't get to the top, without making some enemies along the way.   And the mega-star, who is on a break before the final leg of her billion dollar record breaking Eras Tour, has certainly had her fair share of beefs. Those who have come up against the 14-time Grammy winner - who famously told Vogue 'Karma is real'   - have seemed to have suffered from 'Tayvoodoo', the term her fans use for those who cross her. Most recently, Dave Grohl (left) sparked a row when he implied the singer doesn't perform live - before he sensationally admitted to cheating on his wife.

Scooter Braun trolled enemy Taylor Swift with a pointed dig at her star-studded Rhode Island bash last weekend.

Ariana Grande will soon join HYBE's superfan platform, Weverse, later this week on Sunday, July 21 alongside other big names in the industry, such as BTS and Blackpink. It comes shortly after it was revealed the We Can't Be Friends songstress, 31, would continue to work for her ex manager, Scooter Braun's, entertainment brand, HYBE America Inc. - which is a subsidiary under HYBE Corporation.  According to Billboard, the star will be able to 'post messages and content to her own dedicated community,' as well as, 'hold livestreams for members.' 

Scooter Braun and actress Rachelle Goulding have been seeing one another the past three months in a romance that's being described as 'very serious.'

Bad Blood, which premiered on Max on Friday, suggests Taylor Swift was offered the chance to buy her master tapes in 2019 by BMGL boss Scott Borchetta - and again by Scooter Braun

Troubled Swifties were baffled by a group of three people stood watching and dancing along to the American megastar as she took to the stage for another adrenaline-fueled night of her sell-out tour. Videos began emerging on social media around half way through the show of the trio seemingly enjoying the singer's performance from the vertigo-inducing spot. Some fans claimed they were security guards or even drone spotters, while other joked that they were Taylor's former partners Joe Alwyn, Scooter Braun and Matty Healy .

Taylor Swift fans are convinced she shaded her longtime nemesis, Scooter Braun , during her latest surprise acoustic song set on The Eras Tour on Tuesday night. While performing at Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales, the singer, 34, performed a mashup of her two diss tracks I Forgot That You Existed and This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things. The choices immediately sent Swifties into a frenzy as they rushed to social media to point out the performance came on Braun's 43rd birthday, and just one day after he announced his retirement from music management. At one point as she sang This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things, she let out a prolonged laugh as the crowd cheered, which was notably longer than her short cackle in the original recording.

Following a prolific 23-year career overseeing the likes of Ariana Grande and Justin Bieber, Scooter Braun has announced his retirement from music management.  Braun, 42, released a statement announcing the end of his 'chapter' as music manager - as he sets forth on his new role as a board member of Hybe and CEO of Hybe America. His statement began: '23 years ago a 19 year old kid started managing an artist named Cato in Atlanta, GA and my journey began. Along the way I have had so many experiences I could never have dreamt of.

Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has finally spoken out to condemn anti-Semitism after an anti-Israel protest descended into chaos outside of a New York exhibit honoring the victims of the Israeli music festival terror attack on October 7.  The Congresswoman took to X to denounce the 'dehumanization' and 'targeting of Jews' that took place on Wall Street Monday night when a mob of pro-Palestine supporters made its way to the Nova Music Festival Exhibition.  'The callousness, dehumanization, and targeting of Jews on display at last night's protest outside the Nova Festival exhibit was atrocious antisemitism - plain and simple,' Ocasio-Cortez wrote in a post on Tuesday. 

Pro-Palestine supporters were filmed chanting intimidating slogans about Zionists on a New York subway car. The activists could be heard shouting, 'Raise you're hands if you're a Zionist, this is your chance to get out'. Elsewhere in the Big Apple, demonstrators were seen unfurling a banner that reads, 'Long Live October 7' in the latest alarming incident of anti-Semitism since the Hamas attack.

It's the penguins that tickled me most. Such is the Taylor Swift fever that has gripped Edinburgh this past week that the penguins at the city's zoo - including Major General Sir Nils Olav III, who moonlights as colonel-in-chief of the Norwegian King's Guard - are wearing Swiftie friendship bracelets. Sir Nils's bracelet - in case you were wondering - is purple.

Discovery+ released the first look trailer for the upcoming docuseries Taylor Swift vs Scooter Braun: Bad Blood on Friday. The two-part series will follow the longstanding feud between the multi-Grammy winner and the famed artist manager, which the show dubbed 'a battle of the titans.' The newest season of VS dives into controversial sale of Swift's masters in a deal for $300 million to a man she 'viewed as a nemesis' and their publicly divisive feud.

He hopes to be a champion of America's working class upon successfully pulling off  a political coup as a third party wild card in this year's presidential race. And as a well-heeled scion of America's most prominent political dynasty, controversial candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., theoretically has just the means and cachet to do so. Running as an independent candidate, the multi-millionaire 70-year-old hopeful has been vocal about tackling social inequality plaguing the nation. But just how much can Kennedy - who has led a life of extreme privilege - hopes to relate to the 'working poor,' as he describes millions of downtrodden Americans hit by inflation? Today, the prominent anti-vaccine activist lives among Hollywood's elite and has a home in one of the most exclusive residential enclaves of Los Angeles. DailyMail.com can reveal that Kennedy and his wife - Cheryl Hines of HBO's Curb Your Enthusiasm fame - count Dr. Dre, talent manager Scooter Braun, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Gwyneth Paltrow, Chelsea Handler and filmmaker Oliver Stone, who directed the 1991 conspiracy movie JFK starring Kevin Costner, as neighbors.

Since hikers parked outside their mansions, angry millionaire homeowners in a poshest California town have sparked outrage by blocking a spectacular public hiking trail with rocks. Residents of Montecito were sent angry letters from Santa Barbara County after they passively deposited boulders along the highways outside their mansions. The homeowners were trying to discourage visitors from visiting the spectacular trail outside their house that leads to hidden-gem hot springs that had been parking on their street. The county sent letters on March 18 to 11 homeowners who live on East Mountain Drive and Riven Rock Road. The letters demanded that the wealthy people be able to clear the blocks within ten days because the roads are a 'public right of way.' The angry homeowners must obtain an encroachment license, which is mandatory for anyone who wants to make any encroachment along or on any county road, according to county officials.
