Music manager Scooter Braun knows people are paying attention to who he鈥檚 working with amid reports of changes to his client roster.

鈥淏reaking news鈥 I鈥檓 no longer managing myself,鈥 Braun joked in a tweet on Tuesday.

His comment follows news on Monday that singer Demi Lovato and Braun amicably parted ways after working together for four years.

Actor and singer Idina Menzel will also no longer be managed by Braun, a source with knowledge of the deal told CNN on Tuesday. The pair have worked together since 2019.

CNN has reached out to representatives for Braun and Menzel for comment.

Tori Kelly, Black Eyed Peas and country music duo Dan + Shay are among Braun鈥檚 other clients. He formerly represented Kanye West, now Ye, off and on.

Braun gained quick success as a music manager in the aughts after discovering Justin Bieber at a young age and has worked with the Grammy-winner ever since. Sources familiar with their deal have disputed a report Bieber was seeking new management.

Braun鈥檚 tenure as a music manager has at times been a part of pop culture debates.

Most notably, the music executive acquired the master recordings of Taylor Swift鈥檚 first six albums from her former label 鈥 Big Machine Label Group in June 2019 鈥 despite her objections. At the time, Swift called the agreement her 鈥渨orst case scenario,鈥 and announced her plans to re-record those first six albums, coining them 鈥淭aylor鈥檚 Version鈥 albums.

She has since released 鈥淭aylor鈥檚 Version鈥 re-records of 鈥淩ed,鈥 鈥淔earless鈥 and 鈥淪peak Now,鈥 with 鈥1989 (Taylor鈥檚 Version)鈥 coming in October. Swift is expected to release re-records for the remaining two albums, 鈥淩eputation (Taylor鈥檚 Version)鈥 and her 2006 self-titled debut album.

Braun is currently the CEO of Hybe America, a South Korean multinational entertainment company that manages K-Pop powerhouse group BTS.
