Justin Bieber has severed ties with renowned Hollywood business manager Lou Taylor.
Britney Spears previously implicated Taylor in her 13-year conservatorship, and now allegedly embroiled in Sean "Diddy" Combs' lawsuit.
According to DailyMail.com, the singer, 30, initially engaged Taylor's firm, Tri Star Sports And Entertainment Group, in late 2022 to oversee his business and financial affairs, including Bieber Time Touring LLC, Justin Bieber Brands LLC, and Bieber Time Merchandise.
Bieber, currently managed by Scooter Braun, partnered with Tri Star during a hiatus in his Justice World Tour due to health issues. The remaining shows were canceled in February 2023 after Bieber disclosed he had been diagnosed with Ramsay Hunt Syndrome, resulting in facial paralysis.
However, insiders have disclosed that the pop sensation quickly terminated his association with Taylor last month amid a flurry of negative publicity.
He immediately enlisted the services of Edward White, renowned as Johnny Depp's business manager.
The decision follows closely on the heels of Tri Star employee Robin Greenhill being referenced in a consequential lawsuit against disgraced hitmaker Sean 'Diddy' Combs earlier this year. Greenhill, formerly Spears' assistant, was mentioned in the lawsuit.
"Justin's split with Lou was not amicable," a source said. "He fired her. People generally stay with their accountant for ages and Justin was only with Tri Star for two years."
It's apparent that the singer has a good reason to.
The insider added, "this happened in May, after the Diddy raid. Justin's financial affairs are now being handled by his new accountant/business manager, Edward White."
Greenhill was mentioned as Combs' accountant allegedly responsible for managing payments to sex workers, as claimed by music producer Rodney "Lil Rod" Jones, who accused Combs of sexual harassment, drugging, and threats.

Jones' lawsuit alleges that a female accountant, Greenhill, facilitated payments to sex workers on a monthly basis through wire transfers, cash transactions, or fund transfers.
The lawsuit further claims that Greenhill ensured the completion of payments to the sex workers, purportedly including City Girls rapper Yung Miami, as well as models Jade Ramey and Daphne Joy.
All three women have refuted Jones' allegations, but Bieber has obviously taken the more cautious step of not having to do anything with the controversial firm.
In a statement issued to Us Weekly through his lawyer, Combs vehemently denied the accusations, labeling Jones a 'liar.'
Meanwhile, White, who established his own firm in 1976, collaborates with Depp and provided testimony in Depp's defamation lawsuit against his former spouse, Amber Heard, in 2022.
Previously, he assisted the actor in a legal dispute against The Management Group over financial mismanagement in 2017, a year after they began working together.
Personally, Bieber has been negatively linked to Diddy's wild activities due to some videos that have resurfaced, with many claiming the young singer as one of the mogul's victims. But Bieber has refused to speak about these speculations. Check out one of the bothering videos below:
