According to TMZ, Braun turned down the offer – choosing to keep his other high-profile clients including Justin Bieber and Ariana Grande.
After the news broke online, Scooter Braun appeared to respond on Twitter, writing: “A man’s loyalty is truly tested when he is willing to stand by someone who will never show that same respect.
“Don’t show love and loyalty waiting for reciprocation... do it because your integrity demands it.”

“I no longer have a manager,” he said. “I can’t be managed.”

yes I got rid of my last lawyer why? Because he wouldn't come to work full time. I also asked my last manager to come work full time for Yeezy of course the last lawyer and manager said no. So now I hired a CEO and a CFO and i have two full time lawyers as of now.
