According to Page Six, in an independent audit conducted by PricewaterhouseCoopers (PWC) - a leading accounting firm - over 6 months, it was discovered that Justin Bieber owed Scooter Braun more than 8,806,000 USD (more than 228 billion VND).
A source told Page Six that the debt comes from a loan for Justin Bieber to cover expenses after canceling his Justice tour in 2022 for health reasons. Scooter Braun is said to have stepped in to help Justin Bieber.
Business manager Lou Taylor confirmed that Scooter Braun received a commission that was too high, up to 26 million USD (674 billion VND). Previously, Hybe Company conducted an internal audit and concluded that Justin Bieber actually owed Scooter Braun more than 1 million USD (25.9 billion VND).
According to TMZ, Justin Bieber's side said that Braun's audit showed signs of corruption, leading to Hybe hiring PWC to audit, causing the male singer to owe the singer more than 8 million USD.
Justin Bieber's representative denied financial problems, asserting: "This is just an unnamed agency-based suspense game, and it is clearly unverified.
When Justin has his own direction, fabricated stories and inaccurate assumptions will continue. But they will not be able to stop him from continuing to pursue the path he has chosen."
