Pop sensation Justin Bieber is reportedly facing mounting financial issues following the abrupt cancellation of his JusticeWorld Tour in 2022. According to recent reports, the singer’s money woes are being compounded by a financial dispute with former manager Scooter Braun.
An independent audit by PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) claims Bieber owes Braun more than $8.8 million in unpaid commissions, stemming from their business relationship during the tour era. The financial fallout is being described as one of the key setbacks for the 31-year-old artist.
However, Bieber’s current business manager, Lou Taylor, disputes those findings. Speaking to TMZ, Taylor asserted that the numbers presented are misleading. She claimed Braun was actually overpaid by as much as $26 million, and even Braun’s own company, HYBE, reportedly concluded that the actual amount owed was closer to $1 million — an amount Braun allegedly chose to waive.
Lavish Spending Habits Raise Eyebrows
While the dispute with Braun has captured headlines, insiders say it’s Bieber’s excessive lifestyle that is fueling deeper concerns. One source claimed the “Peaches” singer’s monthly expenses are sky-high, suggesting that his spending habits are unsustainable.
“At one point, he couldn’t even get approved for a credit card,” the source alleged. “There are people around him who don’t have his best interests at heart.”
Inner Circle Reportedly Worried About His Wellbeing
Another insider close to Bieber said those in his inner circle are growing increasingly concerned about his mental and emotional state, with some fearing he’s starting to “disintegrate” under pressure.
The latest developments come after a challenging few years for the Grammy-winning artist, who has dealt with health issues, tour postponements, and shifts in his professional team.
What’s Next for Justin Bieber?
As fans continue to express support online, the focus remains on Bieber’s next steps — whether that includes new music, resolving his financial situation, or simply taking time to prioritize his health.
