Camila Cabello parts ways with longtime manager Roger Gold
Camila Cabello has officially parted ways with her longtime manager, Roger Gold, as per Billboard.
Gold, who has managed Cabello since the beginning of her solo career in 2016, guided the artist through her transition from Fifth Harmony to becoming a solo star.

The label was acquired by Warner Music Group in 2021 and later became 300 Elektra Entertainment Group under Atlantic Music Group in 2022.
Cabello's most recent project, her fourth album C,XOXO, peaked at No. 13 on the Billboard 200 and marked her first release under Geffen and Interscope after leaving Epic Records, the label where she started her career with Fifth Harmony. In a 2024 Billboard cover story, Gold shared insights into Cabello's artistic journey, emphasizing her commitment to creative freedom, despite the pressures of the music industry.
Gold will continue to manage other clients under Gold Music Management, while Cabello embarks on the next phase of her career without his guidance.
