HAILEY Bieber reportedly had a huge influence on her husband, Justin Bieber, deciding to cut ties with his manager, Scott Braun, aka Scooter.
This week, many other A-list celebs have allegedly let Scooter, 42, go as their manager – Demi Lovato, Idina Menzel, and Ariana Grande – just months after J Balvin also walked away.
"Justin has officially let Scooter go as his manager and has been taking meetings with other managers for three years," a source told UsWeekly.
Justin, 29, has worked with Scooter for over 16 years after he scouted him when he was just 13.
The insider also claimed that Hailey, 26, "led the charge that led Justin to leave him for another manager."
However, another source told the news outlet that Scooter's clients are under contracts and negotiations.

"[They] have been going on for several months as Scooter steps into his larger role as Hybe America CEO. 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 second source said.
In response to the claims, Scooter took to X - formerly known as Twitter - to share his thoughts.
"Breaking news… I’m no longer managing myself," he said.

POWER WIFE
Amid the rumors, Hailey is expected to participate in her hubby's business meetings.
The Rhode founder will reportedly take on a bigger role and have a direct influence on Justin's operations, according to Page Six.
An insider told the outlet: “Hailey has taken control and is heavily involved.
"She’s a part of meetings, and she’s talking a lot for him.“
The insider closed: "She’s the voice. They’re becoming this power couple.
"She’s a big part of everything he’s doing."
Other sources close to the situation claimed Hailey is moving up the ranks because the Canadian singer might be feuding with his longtime manager, Scooter Braun, who supposedly set everything up "since he was a kid."
Reps for Justin and Scooter confirmed the two are still working together, but another source claimed "there are issues" between them.
A rift supposedly came about because the Baby singer “has started asking questions."
SCOOTERS EMPIRE
Scooter has many other clients through his entertainment company SB Projects.
Other artists under his watch are Carly Rae Jepsen, Ava Max, and Tori Kelly.
Scooter is also the CEO of Hybe America - a subsidiary of the South Korean entertainment company, which was previously named Big Hit Entertainment.
