Now getting on into the latest.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
If we're speaking about things happening, there is new music
that is dropping we have or dropped at this point.
By the time you guys hear this podcast, Justin Bieber
has dropped his new album called Swag, which was it
was a surprise album. But you know, fans have been
speculating for some time that Justin was going to come
out with some new music. And honestly, fans have been
(01:32):
wanting Justin Bieber to come out with new music because
Justin Bieber has been He's been.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
All over the place. Recently.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
There has been rumors that him and his wife, Haley Bieber,
were separated and altogether, there has been rumors that Justin
Bieber is allegedly going through financial issues that he's in
like millions and millions of dollars with a debt. There
have been rumors that Justin Bieber, you know, is allegedly
going through you know, people felt like it was was
(02:00):
like a mental health crisis because it's some of the
things that he was posting online, the way he was
posting online, and you know, it's just been a lot.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
There's been a lot of conversation around Justin Bieber.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
There was also the last running where we saw him
on camera getting into it with the paparazzi.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
Let's take a listen to this.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
My car is when I got back, I probably.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
Get out of work out on the.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
Sidewalk, on the sidewalk, on the sidewalk, and.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
I don't think you can work. There's a lot of
people before that.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
Boundaries.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
Just know that to set boundaries. Don't do this.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
It's not official. Before sidewalk, you padwalk.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
I'm a father of a son.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
No, I'm a warmer. Really stand.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
And now you are.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Somehow like what she sent.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
Starts tapping me on with that.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
That's the real family.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
Now that running happened not too long ago.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
That was actually June twelfth, right, So he's getting into
it with the paparazzi in the midst of all these
things that I just told you guys. So fans have
been like, okay, it's Justin, all right, Like, somebody go
check on Justin. We need to know what's going on.
Let's get some music, because that's where you talk to
us as where you let us in.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
We need to hear from you. Wink.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
If you Okay, so Justin Bieber dropping swag and on
the album, Justin Bieber addresses a lot. He does address
you know, people thinking thinking that he's crazy, and he says,
you know, he's doing just fine, but the paparazzi does
suck through a skit that he does with Drew Ski
Committee and Drew Ski. He also very clearly addressed the
(03:50):
whole him and Hailey Bieber breakup rumors, because are divorce
rumors because they're married.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
If they you know, not together, it's a divorce.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Because first of all, let me just tell you, guys,
surprise album, the art for the album. Fans are definitely
you know, talking about the fact that the album art
is giving. This is his version of Mister morale A
Big Suppers, which is a Kendrick Lamar album that dropped
in twenty twenty two. Now, this album art was dropped
and it was shot by a photographer named Renel Mendrano.
(04:20):
So this photographer shot various photos and if you go
to I believe Complex News covered this, we'll have these
photos posted on the Brown Girl Grinding Instagram. It's brown
Girl Grinding, which is common spelling Instagram. So you guys
could take a look at it from here on the
podcast for all the low riders that actually want to
see the art I'm talking about. But this photographer shot
(04:42):
this art back in twenty twenty two of Kendrick Lamar
and his newborn baby at the time and his significant
other as well. And then Justin Bieber drops his art
for Swag this surprise album and the last twenty four hours,
and it is very much the same. Like you have
the couch shot, there's the whole family shot with the baby.
(05:03):
You know, it's it's very much the shame, very much,
you know, very much the same. Clawing is not exactly
the same, but you can see the inspiration. I don't
know this has not been concerned confirmed by Justin Bieber
if this Kendrick Lamar mister Moran in the Big Steppers
cover photo was the actual inspo. But you can invert
for sure, y'all take a look and let me know
(05:24):
what y'all think. But anyway, on that album all Kendrick
Lamar's Mister Moran and the Big Steppers, he gets into
a lot of things we find out that he has.
You know, this is the first time we see one
of his newborn kids. He just gets very into personal
in this and Justin Bieber you know, attempted to do
that in this album as well with addressing things like
you know, is the paparazzi driving him crazy right now?
Speaker 3 (05:46):
But while all of this is going on, Justin.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Bieber is also currently in the latest of headlines because
he has just recently settled a very huge financial dispute.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
So there's a guy named Scooter Bron.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Scooter Bron and Usher together discovered Justin Bieber. Scooter Bron
was acting like a manager of sorts for a very
long time.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
For Justin Bieber.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
And TMZ is reporting from sources with direct knowledge that
Justin Bieber and Scooter Bron hammered out a crazy settlement
on a large amount of money that is alleged to
have been old to Scooter Bron by Justin Bieber. And now,
Scooter Bron is a guy that's been in the music
game for some time. He's also the guy that you
guys will remember Taylor Swift had some issues with about
(06:31):
you know, he was buying or he bought her catalog
and she was saying that it was done unfairly because
she was never getting them a chance to buy it.
And you know that whole thing. He worked around Little
John for some time. He came up in Atlanta area
throwing parties, and then he also discovered Tory Kelly as
well too, and then he grew to be this like
huge force in music, in music management and discovering artists
(06:53):
as well. So he is him and Usher brought us
Justin Bieber and they've been working together for some time.
And when conversations came out about Justin Bieber and Scooter
Brown potentially having issues, it was almost unbelievable because they
had been close in business for so long that we
the fans and you know, just onlookers who knew their
(07:14):
relationship looked at them as family. But it had always
been rumored that there were some issues. And then some
years ago, I was actually still at TMZ when I
worked on this story. No matter of fact, it was
right when I left TMZ. TMZ had actually did a
story that. Let me go and find that. Matter of fact,
hold on, let me see if I can find that,
because it was about their relationship.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
Brown Girl Grinding.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
Brown Girl Grinding is our platform on social So you know,
I'm Laura La Rosa.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
This is the latest with Laura Rosa. But I do
post news.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
And you know, conversation topics via social media, even when
I'm at the center of the conversation or you know,
I'm not speaking on the news, just you know, breaking
things via social media on X Lauren Rose on X
and then I you know, have conversations and bring the
news on Instagram via my platform, Brown Girl Grinding. I
broke a story about Justin Bieber and Scooter Bron. So
(08:09):
the story was about Scooter Bron. Scooter Bron also worked
with Ariana Grande. When I tell y'all, force and music,
huge force in music. So this was back on August
thirty first, twenty twenty three. Earlier that day, TMZ had
actually reported that Ariana Grande and Scooter Bron had went
their separate ways because he was managing her and she
decided to go elsewhere. And then in that same story,
(08:30):
they had mentioned that Justin Bieber and Scooter Bron were
still in a contract and that was on paper basically,
like you know what I mean, Like they Scooter Bron
was listed on paper still as Justin Bieber's manager and
they recently had a new deal. Now, the reason why
TMZ did this story is because when Ariana Grande announced
(08:52):
that she was officially splitting ways with Scooter Bron. There
had already been conversation around because he also represents works
with Demmi la He had Ariana Grande and he had
Justin Bieber all at the time at the same time, right,
so there was rumors that him and Demi Levado were splitting,
and then that came out to not be true, and
then there was a conversation around him and Ariana Grande
(09:13):
going their separate ways that came out to be true.
And then on top of all this, there have been
a conversation that Scooter Bron and Justin Bieber were not
seeing eyed eye. So this story that they did was
kind of like clearing up, you know, who's working with
who and who's not. I then was told when this
story broke, and this was an exclusive that I broke
back in August twenty twenty three, that although on paper,
(09:35):
Justin Bieber was still listed as Scooter Bron's talent, like
you know, Scooter Bron was still managing Justin Bieber and
there was still recently a deal in play. I was
told that that was true on paper, but that Justin
Bieber is not at all at the time, he was
not at all happy about working with Scooter. I was
told that the relationship at that point, back in August
(09:56):
of twenty twenty three was obsolete. Now my source had
put it to me, like Justin is not even interested
in being in the same room as Scooter. So that
was a clear telltale sign that there was something wrong,
because you go from you know, this man discovered you
as a kid, and you guys are they literally were like.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
Family like you would see.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
And Scooter seems to be close to I don't know
him personally, but Scooter bron seems to be close to
all of his artists, and it seems like, you know,
he takes all of his artists.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
Under his wing.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
I don't know what the disconnect here between him and
Justin Bieber was. Well at the time, I didn't We
didn't found out some more information now, which is what
we're going to get into, but there was clearly a
disconnect at this time. So I was told that they
didn't even want to be in the same room together
back in August of twenty twenty three, and then I
was also told that there is little to know. At
that time, there was little to no direct communication between
(10:42):
Justin Bieber and Scooter Brian. At that point, all they
were doing was business dealings and that was being done
through a legal department.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
So that was a huge telltale sign.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Now fast forward, we were in you know, the second
week of July. It's early July twenty twenty five, so
this has been brewing for some time. And again there's
all these rumors of money issues and all these things.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
So what TMZ was told was.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
That there was a forty million dollar advance from AEG
that Justin Bieber was given for his Justice tour.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
For his Justice tour, but when.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
Justin Bieber decided to not do the tour, early AG
demanded that Justin Bieber repaid them twenty six million dollars
at that advance. Scooter's company HIBE, agreed to pay that
amount to AEG that was old and then Justin agreed
to repay HIBE over ten years. From what TMZ is reporting,
they're legend that Justin Bieber only made one payment to
(11:40):
Scooter Broun and then he completely stopped paying. But now
Justin Bieber has made good on that debt plus another one.
They said that there was an additional debt. So according
to their sources. They say the settlement terms also called
for Scooter to get back Scooter bron to get back
half of eleven million dollars that he said Justin owed
him in various unpaid the missions that are piled up
(12:01):
over the years, because like I told you guys, from
what my source had told me, they were only doing business,
you know, through attorneys, but there was no direct contact.
But Justin wasn't happy, even though they were still working
with each other on paper, Justin was not happy. So
I can kind of see where the communication slipped. But yeah,
so you know, things have been settled and now Justin
Bieber comes out with this surprise album. Now again, it's
(12:26):
been some time since Justin Bieber has dropped the music,
right and Justin Bieber, you know, being discovered by Scooter
Braun and Usher being brought to the forefront by Usher.
For a lot of people, a lot of people think
that Usher solely is who discover Justin Bieber. But that's
because Usher really put him under his wing, like tremendous,
tremendously I mean from the way that Justin Bieber performs
(12:49):
to you know, some people will say to how he
sings to his musical selection on all of his projects.
He is very much the brainchild of Usher and and
a you know like that that Atlanta soul. Now, let
me tell you how Justin Bieber might have got himself
in trouble on this album, right, because there's a skit
on this project with comedian Drewski.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
There's a couple of them.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
There's a believer about two one of them is toward
the end of the album and Drew Ski is being
you know, funny Drew Ski. And he does a lot
of like play on like race culture, right, Like you
know he did he did the white face and he
dressed up as like the white frat guy before, and.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
He's done other things.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
So in this skit, he's talking to Justin Bieber about
Justin Bieber being black.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
Let's take a listen.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
No, I said, this album kind of sounds You've got
some soul on this album to you kind of sound
black on this motherfucker. Man, you played that last song,
I said, damn, you got a little Hey. I'm telling
you you more than two percent on this album. Right here,
I can hear the soul. Thank you. Your soul is black.
Your skin white, but your soul black. Justin, I promise you, man,
(13:58):
thank you. Damn you're sure you don't want no black
and mouth.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
When I tell y'all, the people were upset. Okay, Justin
Bieber was trending all morning because he dropped the music
and it's been a while, but the people were like,
when I got to this skit, I turned it off
and I knew because Justin Bieber says thank you in
that skit like he laughs it off, but he says
think it. I'm sure Justin Bieber has heard this a lot,
because Justin Bieber is one of them people that I know,
(14:32):
and I know Black people hate it when you say this.
Speaker 3 (14:35):
We talk about the invites to the cookout.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
I'm sorry to tell y'all, Justin Bieber not only has
been invited to the cookout, but we allow him to
bring food.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
Okay, y'all gonna be mad at me for saying that
one if y'all mad.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
At Drew Ski for offering Justin Bieber to black and mount,
y'all gonna be mad when I tell y'all he might
can't do the potato salad right because he ain't been
around in a minute.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
I ain't seen him.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
Now, I'm hearing them, I'm like, okay, all right, but
Justin Bieber could hear he definitely bringing no greens, but
he could bring a little you know, Justin Bieber could
bring the baked beans to the potato salad like he's invited,
and he could bring food. I say that to say
jokingly that Justin Bieber has been whether people have loved
to hear or not, Justin Bieber has been synonymous with
(15:18):
soul and the soul sound for a very long time.
Most people equate that soul sound to us two black people.
Now people are upset number one that isn't even being
equated with soul and black people. And I don't know why,
to be honest with you, maybe I'm just not enriched
enriched on my music history enough. But I thought that
that was an obvious known thing because we created so
(15:39):
many different genres of music that stem from such a
soulful place, including rock, including you know, the blues and
jazz and all these things. I never knew we had
an issue of being equated to soul. But then you know,
the girls, the girlies, the people are also in a
very big tizzy because Justin Bieber, just you know, just
(16:02):
the whole thing of you got the two percent black,
and Justin Bier laughed it off and says, thank you.
People are like, we're too inviting to these things, Like
we're way too inviting to these things. And there been
conversation years ago about Justin Bieber using the N word
and you know, the whole forgiving, you know, we forgive
people for things and whatever. I just feel like at
(16:24):
this point with Justin Bieber's he's.
Speaker 3 (16:28):
I'm not offended by Justin Bieber.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
That whole in word conversation of controversy was a long
time ago. I'm not saying that it was right, but
it was a long time ago. But y'all, if y'all
listened to this album, the music is good, the skits
are funny. People just find a reason to be upset
about anything. And if I'm being honest with y'all, ain't
nobody got nothing to be upset about right now. But
Justin Bieber, the mean just had to be about twenty
six million dollars. And now he is free and able
(16:53):
to do his own thing with his music, and nobody
got nothing to be mad about with him twenty six
million dollars.
Speaker 3 (16:59):
That's a rich people problem.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
But that is a heck of a problem to have
twenty six million on top of what that other eleven
million that we talked about. Anybody got nothing to be
bad about, not a dang thing. We also got new
music from the Clips this weekend. Make sure you guys
(17:21):
go and take a listen to let God sort them out.
We talked to the Clips on the Breakfast Club. You
guys can head on over to the Breakfast Club everywhere
on social to take a listen to that. But I
attended the Clips private listening event at the Rock Nation headquarters,
and I mean we weren't allowed to record anything inside
of there, but it was a very intimate setting. There
(17:43):
were probably about like maybe twenty of us in the
room they played. And this was way before they started
having conversations about the songs, way before they started having
conversations about Kendrick being on any music and you know
the Clips talking about they had to leave dev Jim
because they wouldn't take Kendrick off of the music because
Dev Jim didn't want anything Kendrick Lamar and Push your
(18:03):
Tea because of Push your Tea in Drake's Beef, right,
So this was way before any of that So imagine
being in the room and we're listening and everybody thought
that the sneaky surprise verse we were gonna get was
going to be a jay Z verse.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
That had been the rumor for some time.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
Because it was like, you know, the big Clips reunion,
especially because they haven't worked together in like fifteen sixteen years,
as like, you know, this the group, I'm saying the Clips,
but now they're just Clips. But yeah, So, especially after
they did come out and had a conversation about leaving
Dev Jim and coming on over the rock Nation and
all of those things, people really thought that that sneaky
(18:42):
little verse we was gonna get was gonna be jay Z,
and it was not.
Speaker 3 (18:44):
It was Kendrick Lamar.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
The verse went on to end up leaking, you guys,
this was the leak that dropped, and people were pissed
off about the leak because it's you know, they just
feel like, let the artists do their thing, like let's
really get it when we're supposed to get it, because
you can't even to hear it, like you literally can't
even you can't really get the vibe for it, right,
But imagine being in that room and not knowing that
(19:06):
and in boom the Kendrick Russ drops and then you're
hearing like the music is so good. This was probably
I'm not gonna lie to you guys. I'm not like
a huge Clips fan, Like I'm not a Clipster that's
what they call their fan group.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
Of course.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
I you know know how legendary and iconic and great
the the duo you know are together and even separately.
But I'm not somebody that can like spit down all
their albums and their songs and all those things. But
this album right here has been a NonStop for me
since I've been able to stream it for.
Speaker 3 (19:37):
The first listening party. So take a you know, this weekend.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
Make sure y'all get into all the good music, you
know what I mean, having a good time. And even
if you're not hearing this on the weekend, even if
you are catching this later on in the week put
on some good music that Justin Bieber album is good.

This has been the first week back from our July
fourth holiday break, and it has been tough.

you know, it'll be festive and we're back to work
on Monday. I'm gonna try and you know, disconnected bit
because I really enjoyed doing that last week and for
the fourth of July. But we'll see what's possible, because
(00:59):
y'all know that it's so much easier said than done
than when you live in a world where things are
happening twenty four seven every minute of the day.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
Now getting on into the latest.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
If we're speaking about things happening, there is new music
that is dropping we have or dropped at this point.
By the time you guys hear this podcast, Justin Bieber
has dropped his new album called Swag, which was it
was a surprise album. But you know, fans have been
speculating for some time that Justin was going to come
out with some new music. And honestly, fans have been
(01:32):
wanting Justin Bieber to come out with new music because
Justin Bieber has been He's been.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
All over the place. Recently.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
There has been rumors that him and his wife, Haley Bieber,
were separated and altogether, there has been rumors that Justin
Bieber is allegedly going through financial issues that he's in
like millions and millions of dollars with a debt. There
have been rumors that Justin Bieber, you know, is allegedly
going through you know, people felt like it was was
(02:00):
like a mental health crisis because it's some of the
things that he was posting online, the way he was
posting online, and you know, it's just been a lot.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
There's been a lot of conversation around Justin Bieber.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
There was also the last running where we saw him
on camera getting into it with the paparazzi.
Speaker 3 (02:15):

Just know that to set boundaries. Don't do this.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
It's not official. Before sidewalk, you padwalk.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
I'm a father of a son.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
No, I'm a warmer. Really stand.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
And now you are.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Somehow like what she sent.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
Starts tapping me on with that.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
That's the real family.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
Now that running happened not too long ago.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
That was actually June twelfth, right, So he's getting into
it with the paparazzi in the midst of all these
things that I just told you guys. So fans have
been like, okay, it's Justin, all right, Like, somebody go
check on Justin. We need to know what's going on.
Let's get some music, because that's where you talk to
us as where you let us in.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
We need to hear from you. Wink.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
If you Okay, so Justin Bieber dropping swag and on
the album, Justin Bieber addresses a lot. He does address
you know, people thinking thinking that he's crazy, and he says,
you know, he's doing just fine, but the paparazzi does
suck through a skit that he does with Drew Ski
Committee and Drew Ski. He also very clearly addressed the
(03:50):
whole him and Hailey Bieber breakup rumors, because are divorce
rumors because they're married.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
If they you know, not together, it's a divorce.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Because first of all, let me just tell you, guys,
surprise album, the art for the album. Fans are definitely
you know, talking about the fact that the album art
is giving. This is his version of Mister morale A
Big Suppers, which is a Kendrick Lamar album that dropped
in twenty twenty two. Now, this album art was dropped
and it was shot by a photographer named Renel Mendrano.
(04:20):
So this photographer shot various photos and if you go
to I believe Complex News covered this, we'll have these
photos posted on the Brown Girl Grinding Instagram. It's brown
Girl Grinding, which is common spelling Instagram. So you guys
could take a look at it from here on the
podcast for all the low riders that actually want to
see the art I'm talking about. But this photographer shot
(04:42):
this art back in twenty twenty two of Kendrick Lamar
and his newborn baby at the time and his significant
other as well. And then Justin Bieber drops his art
for Swag this surprise album and the last twenty four hours,
and it is very much the same. Like you have
the couch shot, there's the whole family shot with the baby.
(05:03):
You know, it's it's very much the shame, very much,
you know, very much the same. Clawing is not exactly
the same, but you can see the inspiration. I don't
know this has not been concerned confirmed by Justin Bieber
if this Kendrick Lamar mister Moran in the Big Steppers
cover photo was the actual inspo. But you can invert
for sure, y'all take a look and let me know
(05:24):
what y'all think. But anyway, on that album all Kendrick
Lamar's Mister Moran and the Big Steppers, he gets into
a lot of things we find out that he has.
You know, this is the first time we see one
of his newborn kids. He just gets very into personal
in this and Justin Bieber you know, attempted to do
that in this album as well with addressing things like
you know, is the paparazzi driving him crazy right now?
Speaker 3 (05:46):
But while all of this is going on, Justin.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Bieber is also currently in the latest of headlines because
he has just recently settled a very huge financial dispute.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
So there's a guy named Scooter Bron.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Scooter Bron and Usher together discovered Justin Bieber. Scooter Bron
was acting like a manager of sorts for a very
long time.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
For Justin Bieber.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
And TMZ is reporting from sources with direct knowledge that
Justin Bieber and Scooter Bron hammered out a crazy settlement
on a large amount of money that is alleged to
have been old to Scooter Bron by Justin Bieber. And now,
Scooter Bron is a guy that's been in the music
game for some time. He's also the guy that you
guys will remember Taylor Swift had some issues with about
(06:31):
you know, he was buying or he bought her catalog
and she was saying that it was done unfairly because
she was never getting them a chance to buy it.
And you know that whole thing. He worked around Little
John for some time. He came up in Atlanta area
throwing parties, and then he also discovered Tory Kelly as
well too, and then he grew to be this like
huge force in music, in music management and discovering artists
(06:53):
as well. So he is him and Usher brought us
Justin Bieber and they've been working together for some time.
And when conversations came out about Justin Bieber and Scooter
Brown potentially having issues, it was almost unbelievable because they
had been close in business for so long that we
the fans and you know, just onlookers who knew their
(07:14):
relationship looked at them as family. But it had always
been rumored that there were some issues. And then some
years ago, I was actually still at TMZ when I
worked on this story. No matter of fact, it was
right when I left TMZ. TMZ had actually did a
story that. Let me go and find that. Matter of fact,
hold on, let me see if I can find that,
because it was about their relationship.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
Brown Girl Grinding.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
Brown Girl Grinding is our platform on social So you know,
I'm Laura La Rosa.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
This is the latest with Laura Rosa. But I do
post news.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
And you know, conversation topics via social media, even when
I'm at the center of the conversation or you know,
I'm not speaking on the news, just you know, breaking
things via social media on X Lauren Rose on X
and then I you know, have conversations and bring the
news on Instagram via my platform, Brown Girl Grinding. I
broke a story about Justin Bieber and Scooter Bron. So
(08:09):
the story was about Scooter Bron. Scooter Bron also worked
with Ariana Grande. When I tell y'all, force and music,
huge force in music. So this was back on August
thirty first, twenty twenty three. Earlier that day, TMZ had
actually reported that Ariana Grande and Scooter Bron had went
their separate ways because he was managing her and she
decided to go elsewhere. And then in that same story,
(08:30):
they had mentioned that Justin Bieber and Scooter Bron were
still in a contract and that was on paper basically,
like you know what I mean, Like they Scooter Bron
was listed on paper still as Justin Bieber's manager and
they recently had a new deal. Now, the reason why
TMZ did this story is because when Ariana Grande announced
(08:52):
that she was officially splitting ways with Scooter Bron. There
had already been conversation around because he also represents works
with Demmi la He had Ariana Grande and he had
Justin Bieber all at the time at the same time, right,
so there was rumors that him and Demi Levado were splitting,
and then that came out to not be true, and
then there was a conversation around him and Ariana Grande
(09:13):
going their separate ways that came out to be true.
And then on top of all this, there have been
a conversation that Scooter Bron and Justin Bieber were not
seeing eyed eye. So this story that they did was
kind of like clearing up, you know, who's working with
who and who's not. I then was told when this
story broke, and this was an exclusive that I broke
back in August twenty twenty three, that although on paper,
(09:35):
Justin Bieber was still listed as Scooter Bron's talent, like
you know, Scooter Bron was still managing Justin Bieber and
there was still recently a deal in play. I was
told that that was true on paper, but that Justin
Bieber is not at all at the time, he was
not at all happy about working with Scooter. I was
told that the relationship at that point, back in August
(09:56):
of twenty twenty three was obsolete. Now my source had
put it to me, like Justin is not even interested
in being in the same room as Scooter. So that
was a clear telltale sign that there was something wrong,
because you go from you know, this man discovered you
as a kid, and you guys are they literally were like.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
Family like you would see.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
And Scooter seems to be close to I don't know
him personally, but Scooter bron seems to be close to
all of his artists, and it seems like, you know,
he takes all of his artists.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
Under his wing.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
I don't know what the disconnect here between him and
Justin Bieber was. Well at the time, I didn't We
didn't found out some more information now, which is what
we're going to get into, but there was clearly a
disconnect at this time. So I was told that they
didn't even want to be in the same room together
back in August of twenty twenty three, and then I
was also told that there is little to know. At
that time, there was little to no direct communication between
(10:42):
Justin Bieber and Scooter Brian. At that point, all they
were doing was business dealings and that was being done
through a legal department.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
So that was a huge telltale sign.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Now fast forward, we were in you know, the second
week of July. It's early July twenty twenty five, so
this has been brewing for some time. And again there's
all these rumors of money issues and all these things.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
So what TMZ was told was.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
That there was a forty million dollar advance from AEG
that Justin Bieber was given for his Justice tour.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
For his Justice tour, but when.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
Justin Bieber decided to not do the tour, early AG
demanded that Justin Bieber repaid them twenty six million dollars
at that advance. Scooter's company HIBE, agreed to pay that
amount to AEG that was old and then Justin agreed
to repay HIBE over ten years. From what TMZ is reporting,
they're legend that Justin Bieber only made one payment to
(11:40):
Scooter Broun and then he completely stopped paying. But now
Justin Bieber has made good on that debt plus another one.
They said that there was an additional debt. So according
to their sources. They say the settlement terms also called
for Scooter to get back Scooter bron to get back
half of eleven million dollars that he said Justin owed
him in various unpaid the missions that are piled up
(12:01):
over the years, because like I told you guys, from
what my source had told me, they were only doing business,
you know, through attorneys, but there was no direct contact.
But Justin wasn't happy, even though they were still working
with each other on paper, Justin was not happy. So
I can kind of see where the communication slipped. But yeah,
so you know, things have been settled and now Justin
Bieber comes out with this surprise album. Now again, it's
(12:26):
been some time since Justin Bieber has dropped the music,
right and Justin Bieber, you know, being discovered by Scooter
Braun and Usher being brought to the forefront by Usher.
For a lot of people, a lot of people think
that Usher solely is who discover Justin Bieber. But that's
because Usher really put him under his wing, like tremendous,
tremendously I mean from the way that Justin Bieber performs
(12:49):
to you know, some people will say to how he
sings to his musical selection on all of his projects.
He is very much the brainchild of Usher and and
a you know like that that Atlanta soul. Now, let
me tell you how Justin Bieber might have got himself
in trouble on this album, right, because there's a skit
on this project with comedian Drewski.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
There's a couple of them.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
There's a believer about two one of them is toward
the end of the album and Drew Ski is being
you know, funny Drew Ski. And he does a lot
of like play on like race culture, right, Like you
know he did he did the white face and he
dressed up as like the white frat guy before, and.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
He's done other things.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
So in this skit, he's talking to Justin Bieber about
Justin Bieber being black.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
Let's take a listen.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
No, I said, this album kind of sounds You've got
some soul on this album to you kind of sound
black on this motherfucker. Man, you played that last song,
I said, damn, you got a little Hey. I'm telling
you you more than two percent on this album. Right here,
I can hear the soul. Thank you. Your soul is black.
Your skin white, but your soul black. Justin, I promise you, man,
(13:58):
thank you. Damn you're sure you don't want no black
and mouth.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
When I tell y'all, the people were upset. Okay, Justin
Bieber was trending all morning because he dropped the music
and it's been a while, but the people were like,
when I got to this skit, I turned it off
and I knew because Justin Bieber says thank you in
that skit like he laughs it off, but he says
think it. I'm sure Justin Bieber has heard this a lot,
because Justin Bieber is one of them people that I know,
(14:32):
and I know Black people hate it when you say this.
Speaker 3 (14:35):
We talk about the invites to the cookout.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
I'm sorry to tell y'all, Justin Bieber not only has
been invited to the cookout, but we allow him to
bring food.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
Okay, y'all gonna be mad at me for saying that
one if y'all mad.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
At Drew Ski for offering Justin Bieber to black and mount,
y'all gonna be mad when I tell y'all he might
can't do the potato salad right because he ain't been
around in a minute.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
I ain't seen him.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
Now, I'm hearing them, I'm like, okay, all right, but
Justin Bieber could hear he definitely bringing no greens, but
he could bring a little you know, Justin Bieber could
bring the baked beans to the potato salad like he's invited,
and he could bring food. I say that to say
jokingly that Justin Bieber has been whether people have loved
to hear or not, Justin Bieber has been synonymous with
(15:18):
soul and the soul sound for a very long time.
Most people equate that soul sound to us two black people.
Now people are upset number one that isn't even being
equated with soul and black people. And I don't know why,
to be honest with you, maybe I'm just not enriched
enriched on my music history enough. But I thought that
that was an obvious known thing because we created so
(15:39):
many different genres of music that stem from such a
soulful place, including rock, including you know, the blues and
jazz and all these things. I never knew we had
an issue of being equated to soul. But then you know,
the girls, the girlies, the people are also in a
very big tizzy because Justin Bieber, just you know, just
(16:02):
the whole thing of you got the two percent black,
and Justin Bier laughed it off and says, thank you.
People are like, we're too inviting to these things, Like
we're way too inviting to these things. And there been
conversation years ago about Justin Bieber using the N word
and you know, the whole forgiving, you know, we forgive
people for things and whatever. I just feel like at
(16:24):
this point with Justin Bieber's he's.
Speaker 3 (16:28):
I'm not offended by Justin Bieber.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
That whole in word conversation of controversy was a long
time ago. I'm not saying that it was right, but
it was a long time ago. But y'all, if y'all
listened to this album, the music is good, the skits
are funny. People just find a reason to be upset
about anything. And if I'm being honest with y'all, ain't
nobody got nothing to be upset about right now. But
Justin Bieber, the mean just had to be about twenty
six million dollars. And now he is free and able
(16:53):
to do his own thing with his music, and nobody
got nothing to be mad about with him twenty six
million dollars.
Speaker 3 (16:59):
That's a rich people problem.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
But that is a heck of a problem to have
twenty six million on top of what that other eleven
million that we talked about. Anybody got nothing to be
bad about, not a dang thing. We also got new
music from the Clips this weekend. Make sure you guys
(17:21):
go and take a listen to let God sort them out.
We talked to the Clips on the Breakfast Club. You
guys can head on over to the Breakfast Club everywhere
on social to take a listen to that. But I
attended the Clips private listening event at the Rock Nation headquarters,
and I mean we weren't allowed to record anything inside
of there, but it was a very intimate setting. There
(17:43):
were probably about like maybe twenty of us in the
room they played. And this was way before they started
having conversations about the songs, way before they started having
conversations about Kendrick being on any music and you know
the Clips talking about they had to leave dev Jim
because they wouldn't take Kendrick off of the music because
Dev Jim didn't want anything Kendrick Lamar and Push your
(18:03):
Tea because of Push your Tea in Drake's Beef, right,
So this was way before any of that So imagine
being in the room and we're listening and everybody thought
that the sneaky surprise verse we were gonna get was
going to be a jay Z verse.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
That had been the rumor for some time.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
Because it was like, you know, the big Clips reunion,
especially because they haven't worked together in like fifteen sixteen years,
as like, you know, this the group, I'm saying the Clips,
but now they're just Clips. But yeah, So, especially after
they did come out and had a conversation about leaving
Dev Jim and coming on over the rock Nation and
all of those things, people really thought that that sneaky
(18:42):
little verse we was gonna get was gonna be jay Z,
and it was not.
Speaker 3 (18:44):
It was Kendrick Lamar.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
The verse went on to end up leaking, you guys,
this was the leak that dropped, and people were pissed
off about the leak because it's you know, they just
feel like, let the artists do their thing, like let's
really get it when we're supposed to get it, because
you can't even to hear it, like you literally can't
even you can't really get the vibe for it, right,
But imagine being in that room and not knowing that
(19:06):
and in boom the Kendrick Russ drops and then you're
hearing like the music is so good. This was probably
I'm not gonna lie to you guys. I'm not like
a huge Clips fan, Like I'm not a Clipster that's
what they call their fan group.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
Of course.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
I you know know how legendary and iconic and great
the the duo you know are together and even separately.
But I'm not somebody that can like spit down all
their albums and their songs and all those things. But
this album right here has been a NonStop for me
since I've been able to stream it for.
Speaker 3 (19:37):
The first listening party. So take a you know, this weekend.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
