Scooter Braun on old friend Kanye West: 'I don't know him anymore'
The 44-year-old record executive - who retired from artist management in 2024 - was the controversial rapper's manager between 2016 and 2018.
Since 2022, the Stronger rapper has lost people's respect and faced financial consequences after he made a series of antisemitic remarks.
Scooter - who is Jewish - says he doesn't recognise Kanye anymore and has no "relationship" with the 48-year-old star.
He told Danielle Robay on her Question Everything podcast: 'I don't know him anymore.
He continued: 'I think the person that I knew wasn't someone who says those things. Sometimes the hardest thing to do with someone you care about is mourn them while they're still here. The person that I knew is not the person that I'm seeing, so I don't have a relationship anymore.'
When asked if he thinks the Bound 2 rapper can claw his way back, he dodged the question and insisted: 'I have three beautiful kids that need a dad to focus on them and make sure they're prepared and strong in this world. That's going to be my focus.'

Melbourne's hottest dining pop-up is hidden in a synagogue and opens once a week
In Australia and many other countries, younger generations are less religious than ever before, despite the best efforts of religious leaders. So what's the real secret to getting them back through the doors? If Rintel's Diner is anything to go by, perhaps it's food. The Thursday night pop-up, run by chef Gitai Ifergan and collaborator Babs Rapeport, has been operating out of the East Melbourne Synagogue since mid-May thanks to a deal with the resident rabbi, Dovid Gutnick. (Rapeport previously ran an art gallery in the same space.) It's regularly booked out for a month ahead (even following an arson attack on the synagogue on July 4), though walk-ins early in the evening are welcome. There's some congregation crossover, but most of the seats are filled by younger diners, from within and outside the Jewish community. They say they're drawn by the restaurant's DIY ethos, accessible pricing (at the time of writing, no dish costs more than $21), and a menu that highlights Jewish diaspora dishes, including the stew cholent, rarely seen in Melbourne.

‘Completely performative': Zyklon heiress joins Gaza flotilla
GT Communications' Gemma Tognini reacts to Marlene Engelhorn taking part in Gaza activism after inheriting $40 million from her grandma, who profited from making Zyklon B, the gas used to exterminate Jewish people. 'Clearly, she doesn't care … she has the money to do whatever she wants to do,' Ms Tognini told Sky News host Andrew Bolt. 'People like that … they don't actually care what their reputation may or may not be amongst the general public. 'It's completely performative.'
