Scooter Braun appeared to subtly respond to multiple reports about his relationship with various big-name clients on social media.
If you haven’t been keeping up, conflicting rumors suggested that longtime client Justin Bieber was considering leaving Scooter‘s management firm. Similar whispers began circulating about Ariana Grande.
Meanwhile, Demi Lovato has formally parted ways with the mega-manager after finding a new team.
Various explanations have been floated to explain why so many artists are allegedly jumping ship. One possibility is that Scooter is refocusing and turning his attention toward being the CEO of HYBE America, the South Korean entertainment giant behind BTS.
Amid all of the rumors, it appears that Scooter might have made a statement via a quote that he shared on Instagram.

Taking to social media, Scooter shared a lengthy quote from author Brianna Wiest. He described it as “perfect words.”
“Your new life is going to cost you your old one. It’s going to cost you your comfort zone and your sense of direction. It’s going to cost you relationships and friends. It’s going to cost you being liked and understood. It doesn’t matter,” the quote reads.
It continues, “The people who are meant for you are going to meet you on the other side. You’re going to build a new comfort zone around the things that actually move you forward. Instead of being liked, you’re going to be loved. Instead of being understood, you’re going to be seen. All you’re going to lose is what was built for a person you no longer are.”
So far Scooter has largely opted out of directly commenting on the rumors.
