Hailey Bieber took charge of all her husband Justin Bieber’s business affairs, making him fire his long-term manager Scooter Braun.
A report published by Puck News first speculated that the Peaches singer and the controversial manager haven’t spoken in months, leading many to theorize that the two have parted ways.

Confirming the report, a source now spilt to Us Weekly that Justin has “officially let Scooter go as his manager” while alluding that he took the decision under Hailey’s influence.
Hailey Bieber “led the charge that led Justin to leave him for another manager,” the source claimed, adding, Justin “has been taking meetings with other managers for three years.”

“People are spreading rumors based on what they know, but they are off. Scooter’s team at SB Projects are still handling both Justin and Ariana as they work through what this new structure looks like,” the insider added.
While some insiders still insist that the speculations are baseless, other sources are of the view that “where there’s smoke, there’s fire.
