Scooter Braun Praises Justin Bieber’s Album After $31.5 Million Settlement

Scooter Braun, Justin Bieber's former longtime manager, has praised Bieber's new album, "Swag," calling it the most authentically Justin Bieber album to date, highlighting its raw and personal nature. Braun, who has known Bieber for nearly two decades and recently settled a significant financial dispute with him, expressed pride in Bieber's artistic growth and the intentional release of the album, despite no longer managing him. He singled out the track "Daisies" as his favorite, noting Bieber's unique vocal tone. The album, Bieber's seventh studio project and first since 2021's "Justice," reflects his personal life and mental health struggles and has topped major streaming charts. This praise from Braun comes shortly after they resolved a $31.5 million settlement over unpaid debts and commissions related to Bieber's canceled 2022 tour. However, Bieber's wife, Hailey Bieber, reportedly has not shared Braun's positive sentiments, indicating some ongoing personal tensions despite the professional resolution.
