Scooter Braun gives verdict on Justin Bieber album two years after cutting ties
Scooter Braun has shared his thoughts on Justin Beiber's seventh studio album, titled Swag - which has been released two years after they stopped working together Scooter Braun has delivered his verdict on Justin Bieber's new album - two years after their working relationship came to an abrupt end. Music manager Scooter, 44, helped discover Justin, 31, when he was just a 13-year-old boy singing songs on YouTube. Over the years, Scooter helped craft Justin's career - which included smash hits such as Baby, What Do You Mean?, and Sorry. But the boys went their separate ways in 2023 following the release of Justin's album, Justice, which topped the charts in 2021. On Friday, Justin stunned fans when he dropped his seventh album, Swag, without previously promoting it. The record drew favourable reviews from critics and left fans picking through the lyrics to find clues over the state of his marriage to Hailey Bieber as the pair have appeared strained in recent months. The Canadian pop star collaborated with a string of musicians and producers on the album, including Sexyy Red, 2 Chainz, Dijon, and more. And while Scooter was not involved in the making of the album, he has endorsed the record - branding it Justin's finest effort to date. Taking to social media on Saturday, the music manager lavished praise on his protégé and urged fans to give the album a listen. In a glowing Instagram Stories post, he wrote: 'Been having a beautiful start to the weekend and been getting a lot of texts about how I feel about Justin's new album. 'So I will just leave this here.. This is without a doubt, the most authentically Justin Bieber album to date. It's beautiful, raw, and truly him. And that matters.' He continued: 'I've had the privilege of witnessing his growth for almost two decades. Along every journey, there comes a time when an artist fully steps into their own — and that's what he's done here. He's poured his soul into this project, and you can feel it in every single run. 'The way he chose to release it is just as intentional as the music itself — and I'm happy to see him do it this way. I have played no roll in this one, but as someone who's always believed in him, I'm incredibly proud and impressed and genuinely enjoying the music." Scooter added: "Justin has a special tone that I have witnessed for almost 2 decades. It's the best in the world. And because of that special tone, I have to say daisies is probably my favorite record on the album." In a final call to action, and update on the rest of his day, Scooter concluded: "Stream Swag and support and authentic voice. Now I'm off to take my kids to watch Superman. Have a great weekend." Fans have delighted in Justin's new album - which contains revealing tracks including Go Baby which shows him praising his wife, Hailey. The couple, who share a baby son named Jack, have faced scrutiny in recent months with fans fearing for their marriage. But Justin's lyrics heap praise on his wife - and takes aim at the gossip surrounding their romance. His lyrics begin: "That's my baby, she's iconic, iPhone case, lip gloss on it / And, oh my days, she keeps 'em talkin', it's comedy, just block it, oh, my baby." Other tracks show the singer reflecting on his past and future - while lyrics also show him opening up about his faith and deep belief in Christianity.

Justin Bieber opens up about his 'anger issues' in candid Instagram post
Justin Bieber had taken a swipe at wife Hailey last month on social media amid a worrying period, during which fans have expressed their concern for the popstar Troubled popstar Justin Bieber has confessed to being "broken" and "angry". The singer opened up about his "anger issues" in a new post on Instagram, the latest in a string of self reflections he has uploaded in recent months. Fans have become concerned for the star's mental health after disturbing social media posts included close-up selfies and blurry images. But in a candid post today, Bieber, 31, said: "People keep telling me to heal. Don't you think if I could have fixed myself, I would have already? I know I'm broken. I know I have anger issues... I tried to do the work my whole life to be like the people who told me I needed to be fixed like them. And it just keeps making me more tired and more angry. The harder I try to grow, the more focused on myself I am. "Jesus is the only person who keeps me wanting to make my life about others. Because honestly, I'm exhausted with thinking about myself lately. Aren't you?" Concern has also been shared for Bieber's relationship with wife Hailey, following spats played out on social media. Bieber blanked his wife on Mother's Day and, consequently, she chose not to wish him a public happy Father's Day on Sunday. They married in South Carolina in September 2019 and, in August last year, model and socialite Hailey gave birth to a son. Since then, the Biebers have had anything but domestic bliss and, earlier this year, the Canadian popstar admitted on social media he struggles with feeling like a "fraud". It is a far cry from Bieber's heady days as a confident 16-year-old prodigy when Baby, his track with Ludacris, peaked at third in the UK charts and fifth in the US. He would, within five years, top both charts with What Do You Mean?, a fun and summery number blasted out at parties across the world. Fans - reminiscent of that successful Bieber era - took to social media themselves recently to post messages of support. One person said: "Awh good love him seriously struggling it's looking like Liam Payne and Britney [Spears] someone needs to help him before it's to late." As a second wrote: "So hard and sad to watch. Why are the people around him not helping him when he's clearly struggling. He's not clear at all and hurting." "Babe. Please go get help," another chimed in, as a fourth commented: "Omg men u need therapy ur case is serious." "Bro you're 31, get some therapy for your sons' sake. Or divorce Hailey then get therapy idk man but you need to get yourself together for Jack," one added, with another writing: "I love you and I'm praying for you. You're so many peoples idols. You have an amazing voice. You're a father, whatever you're going through I hope you can heal."

Justin Bieber is never not in the news. Now the Baby singer is keeping it real about losing friends who do not understand him, and is cutting off those who think he's 'lashing out'.

If you don't like my anger you don't like me,' making clear case for his boundaries and expectations from his friends. 'My anger is a response to pain I have been thru,' he added. 'Asking a traumatized person not to be traumatized is simply mean.' Justin Bieber's Friend Reveals What Caused the Conflict According to the messages, Justin Bieber's friend in question was worried about the singer's anger issues and tried to calm him down, 'I'm not used to someone lashing out at me.

Another photo featured a shirtless Justin sitting on a couch looking intently at a child that appeared to be Jack. The child's face was not visible in either photo. Several other photos showed Justin engaged in various activities such as exploring the woods, hanging out with friends, texting on his phone, smoking on a couch and lying on asphalt in the sun. He captioned the post, 'Gonna be a good summer 🫶🏼' Justin Bieber Gives Son Jack a Sweet Kiss in Black-and-White Photo Justin and his wife Hailey Bieber, 28, welcomed their son in August 2024. Announcing the happy arrival at the time, Justin wrote 'WELCOME HOME' alongside a photo showing their son's foot wrapped in a blanket via Instagram.

They have been through a lot, but have been in a good place these last few months.' The source also told Us that while fatherhood was 'an adjustment' for Justin, the new role has also led to some encouraging changes amid continual drama making headlines. 'When his son was born, everyone was hoping that would be a positive influence for him,' a second insider explained to Us. 'It's what's made him really want to heal and reflect on everything.'

Justin Bieber calls out 'jealousy' over his marriage with Hailey in statement
Justin Bieber has lashed out at social media users who have speculated he and wife Hailey Bieber are heading for divorce. The duo, who welcomed their first child Jack in August, have endured a turbulent few months, with Justin's worrying online behaviour and speculation mounting that they are on the rocks after seven years of marriage. With many fans worried about Justin – and others commenting on the status of his relationship – the Baby hitmaker, 31, has called out commentators as being 'jealous' of their marriage. In a long and somewhat incoherent Instagram post, he said that feelings of 'guilt' can be relieved by 'not going to church'. 'They treat me like ass out here, but if I remember that I am flawed too and god forgave me,' Justin said, adding: 'It helps to stop feeling better than those people who are mean and hurtful. 'Because when I'm really honest I can be mean and hurtful too.

The star continued: 'And honestly if I was u it would be hard not to be jealous if I saw me and Hailey going as brazzzzyy. 'It's really up for us and that's understandable why people can't stand it,' he said. 'I don't blame em. Hailey and I are the Jones' that are impossible to keep up with.' This post is the latest in a string of erratic social media ramblings from the Canadian singer, whose behaviour and dishevelled appearance has raised eyebrows in recent months. Concern grew when he was spotted smoking an unidentified roll-up next to his teenage brother at Coachella, with fan footage also showing him hunched over and bobbing along loosely to his 2015 song What Do You Mean?, appearing to look unsteady on his feet. Years after he rocketed into the spotlight at a young age producing hits including Sorry, Yummy, Love Yourself and One Less Lonely Girl, fans have become worried about Justin Bieber. His last few years have seen big changes in the star's life. In 2022, he was diagnosed with facial paralysis condition Ramsay Hunt syndrome, and last year he became a dad for the first time after welcoming baby boy Jack with wife Hailey Bieber. Justin called the concern about his behaviour 'exhausting', but continued to post worrying social media content. In one, he declared that he was 'changing' and 'letting go'. He wrote: 'Not trying harder! Are you tired of trying to follow all of the rules in hopes to get the results you crave?' Explaining that love was 'more powerful than rules', he insisted: 'It's time to grow up. Changing is about letting go! 'I tried to follow the rules. I'm not good at it. But u don't need to follow rules to enter into a life of love. U just receive so enter love living! 'God always grants us love! It's one of his promises! Upon receiving God's love! U start to change and start following love. 'Today I'm letting go and remembering the weight isn't on me to change. The weight is on God. So I give all my insecurities and my fears to him this morning. Because I know he gladly takes it. Asking Jesus to genuinely help me with simply the next step today [sic].' Earlier this year when fans noticed Justin had unfollowed his wife on social media, he claimed that someone had accessed his account without his knowledge. In a short message before re-following Hailey, he fumed: 'Someone just went on my account and unfollowed my wife. 'S**t is getting suss out here.' Earlier this year a source told The Daily Mail that Hailey, 28, doesn't know 'where to turn' for 'help' as Justin becomes more withdrawn. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video 'It's like he doesn't care about his well-being anymore,' they continued. 'He's moodier too. People are worried that he's lost any motivation, even for his music.' More Trending They claimed he 'won't listen' to Hailey as he stops eating, drinking, and working — including when it comes to music which he used to love. 'He won't listen to her when she tries to help,' the source added. 'Hailey struggles with where to turn. 'It's not as if she can ask his family for help – or hers for that matter. They've both experienced estrangement from them.' Got a story?
