Scooter Braun was ridiculed after quitting his job as a music manager: ‘Good job, now you’re no king at all’

Scooter Braun has announced his retirement from music management to focus on his role as CEO of Hybe America, a South Korean entertainment giant.

Famous for managing artists like Justin Bieber and Ariana Grande, Braun faced criticism for his acquisition of Taylor Swift’s master in 2019.

He shared on social media that he has joined the board of Hybe’s US branch and will prioritize being a father and CEO over his previous management role. The Instagram post has a very short status – “23 years”, but the message is quite long, conveyed through a series of photos.

In the post, he addressed all the negative things that were said about him and the artists leaving his agency.

“A lot has been said about what’s happening in our company… and in my career. When we’re successful, I smile, and when we’re attacked, I always trying to take the high road. But over the past three years, I’ve begun to feel that taking the high road has created confusion and ambiguity about who we are,” he wrote.
