Scooter Braun is perhaps one of the most influential people in the music industry in the past decade. Known for purchasing Taylor Swift's masters without her consent, Scooter Braun also manages pop superstars like Justin Bieber, Ariana Grande, Demi Lovato, and Broadway diva Idina Menzel, among others.

Since last week, rumors emerged that his top-billing clients have been on the look out for new management, which got people questioning - what happened to Scooter Braun?

Scooter Braun Management Failing?

Initially, Puck News reported that Justin Bieber fired his team and is also in no speaking terms with Scooter Braun in the past few months, and has been on the lookout for new management. He is by the first, and if not, the most important client that Braun has on his portfolio.

However, days later, multiple sources close to Bieber and Braun debunked this claim, but the publication that first broke it insisted that the report was true.

From then, dominoes fell to their own accord.

Earlier this week, Billboard confirmed that Demi Lovato, another top-billing Scooter Braun client, left his management months ago.

It was claimed that Lovato's departure from SB Projects was "amicable" as it was actually true.

Hours after, it was also reported by journalist Matthew Belloni, the editorial director of The Hollywood Reporter and an insider from Puck News, that Ariana Grande has also parted ways with Scooter Braun Management.

Very recently, Idina Menzel also let Scooter Braun go, as reported by The Hollywood Reporter.

Justin Bieber, Ariana Grande Rumors False?

Meanwhile, Variety sources reveal that Bieber and Grande are not leaving Scooter Braun's management altogether but Braun is just taking a step back from daily management as he is going to take control of HYBE America as a new CEO.

Many cast doubt because of the back-and-forth debunking and claiming of sources with regard to the whole issue, but the source had this to say: "People are spreading rumors based on what they know, but they are off. Scooter's team at SB Projects are still handling both Justin and Ariana as they work through what this new structure looks like."

Amid all the drama, Scooter Braun's recent statement offered no clarification. He simply tweeted:
