Pop star Justin Bieber has agreed to pay former manager Scooter Braun about $31.5 million, ending a two-year financial dispute that followed the cancellation of Bieber’s 2022 Justice world tour. People and other outlets reported that Braun’s company, HYBE America, had advanced $26 million to reimburse promoter AEG Presents after the tour was scrapped. Under the settlement, Bieber will repay that full amount and a further $5.5 million in allegedly unpaid management commissions. Braun, who discovered Bieber in 2007 and stepped back from music management in 2024, had claimed the singer stopped making agreed instalments. The deal closes a rift that began when the pair formally cut business ties in 2023.
