JUSTIN BIEBER BREAKS DOWN : “He Forced Me To Do It. The first day I went there, I came back home not even recognising myself. I thought I was in another world, it was after a week I remembered that what DIDDY and his friends gave me was the…..see more
In mid-September, the entertainment industry was “shaken” by the news that Hip-hop mogul Diddy was arrested on charges of sex trafficking, rape, and extortion. To date, Sean “Diddy” Combs has been accused of sexual abuse by more than 100 people, including many children as young as 9 years old. When the music mogul’s crimes were exposed, the public began to “monitor” the relationships surrounding him.
The superstars who have been targeted are all close friends and colleagues who attended Diddy’s famous parties. The biggest losers at the moment are Beyoncé, Justin Bieber , Usher, Leonardo DiCaprio, Paris Hilton, etc. As the leader of the entertainment industry, Diddy has supported many young stars and has close connections with top “managers”.
Scooter Braun – member of the Board of Directors of HYBE and CEO of HYBE America is no exception. For music fans, Scooter is certainly no longer a strange name. This 43-year-old man is the one who discovered Justin Bieber, single-handedly turning Justin into the “pop prince” with countless billion-view hits. Scooter Braun is also the one who made Taylor Swift lose her first 6 albums, along with the “shocking” accusation in 2019.
As one of Hollywood’s “big names”, Scooter Braun began to “expand” into Kpop when he decided to sell his record label to Bang Si Hyuk in 2021, establishing HYBE America. This is a bilateral strategy, with HYBE America, Bang Si Hyuk is ambitious to promote his “homegrown artists” across the United States.
Scooter Braun is the key figure behind BTS’s American product push, especially Jung Kook’s solo album. It is Scooter Braun’s strategy to promote Jung Kook as a global pop star and have an all-English album produced by an international team.
With his position in the entertainment industry, Scooter cannot help but have connections with the tycoon Diddy. Over the years, Scooter Braun has been extremely close to Diddy Combs. Justin Bieber – Scooter’s key star was also supported by Diddy.
The relationship between Diddy and Scooter Braun has left Kpop fans – especially HYBE’s “chickens” – confused. Diddy’s sex crimes were exposed, while Scooter is the highest-ranking person in HYBE America, raising concerns about whether HYBE artists were ever dragged into parties.
The “roundabout” between the big names in the entertainment industry has confused people, constantly weaving “conspiracy theories”. Fans of HYBE artists just hope that their idols do not get involved in controversies related to the “upper echelons” of the corporation.
