Scooter Braun: The Man Behind Justin Bieber – Details Interview!!

JB’s manager Scooter Braun interview with Details.

DETAILS: As a 25-year-old newbie manager, you discovered a 12-year-old Justin Bieber on YouTube, persuaded him and his mom to move to Atlanta, and, despite constant rejection, got him a record deal. What role has chutzpah played in your career?

Scooter Braun: It’s funny—since I was a kid, I’ve been convinced I was going to die at 32. So I believed I needed to achieve as much as I possibly could while I’m young. And I had my 33rd birthday last week—I made it! The week before, I’d told friends, “Get doctors on call.”

DETAILS: Where does that combination of fatalism and motivation come from?

Scooter Braun: My grandparents were Holocaust survivors. They lived normal lives, and then, in one moment, it was all taken away from them. Growing up in Connecticut, I dealt with someone carving a swastika into the side of my car. So chutzpah, for me, was like, “Okay, there’s never been a Jewish class president at my high school, so I’m going to be the first one.”

DETAILS: Were you a well-behaved kid?

Scooter Braun: I did a lot wrong. A lot. I was arrested for speeding and fighting. . . . [Laughs] My father used to call Justin “my revenge on you,” because I was such a difficult kid.

DETAILS: How has your relationship with Bieber changed over the years?

Scooter Braun: I go through the same experiences as someone raising a child, just with heightened sensitivities, because when he does something dumb, it’s front-page news. When you’re young, you idolize the older man in your life and do anything he says. As you get older, you want to be more independent. You’ve got to let them make the mistakes, then be there to help them when they fall.

DETAILS: Of course. But one of the mistakes he makes could be fatal. How do you balance that risk?

Scooter Braun: If I was the parent, I’d have been there for the first 13 years. I’m picking up the pieces. He’s 20. Ariana Grande, who I also manage, is 21. When they make a mistake, I have to literally look them in the eye and say, “It doesn’t matter that you pushed me away, I’m here to help you now.” I said this to two of my artists the other day, as a joke: “Maybe it’s time for me to have my own kids and stop raising other people’s poorly.”

DETAILS: Because your clients are teen pop stars, you encounter a lot of fans going crazy. Have you ever felt threatened?

Scooter Braun: It’s never the kid who’s over the top—it’s always the parent. People do crazy, fucked-up shit for their kids. I’ve seen parents fistfight—two mothers arguing over who’s in line for a meet-and-greet and a full-on brawl breaks out. I’ve seen moms try to sneak their kids in by hiding in a Dumpster.

DETAILS: David Geffen is one of your idols. By the time he was your age, he’d discovered Jackson Browne and worked with the Eagles, Bob Dylan, and Joni Mitchell. Where’s your Joni Mitchell?

Scooter Braun: I make very successful records today, he made successful records then. I feel I have amazing artists. Carly Rae Jepsen is one of the best songwriters I know. Ariana has one of the most incredible voices I’ve ever heard.

DETAILS: Do you care whether you ever get respect from the music snobberati?

Scooter Braun: I have artists that have touched people and affected lives around the world. People just want to hate. I’ll give you an example: “Gangnam Style.” I meet this guy Psy, a slightly overweight man from Asia who’s dancing around in a video. Everyone told me I was out of my mind to sign him. The song goes No. 1 for weeks and weeks, all over the world. You know what people said? “Bet they can’t do it again.” What the fuck is wrong with you? The fact we did it once is amazing!

DETAILS: You spend a lot of time around tweens and teens. What do you think defines kids today?

Scooter Braun: They’re a very self-promoting generation. They’re told, “Get as many social-media followers as you can. Take selfies.” And they have to deal with issues I never had. In my generation, if you were bullied at school, it sucked, but it stopped when you went home. These kids, if they’re bullied, they’re bullied 24-7—on Facebook, on Twitter. This year, a kid from my high school committed suicide on the second day of school because he was bullied. Shot himself in the head. Even though they’re learning self-promotion, we need to help them with self-preservation.

DETAILS: Do you have an inner teenager?

Scooter Braun: Look, my name is Scooter. And I wear Mickey Mouse T-shirts from time to time. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve introduced myself, “Hey, I’m Scooter,” and the adult I’m talking to is like, “For real?” And I go, “I know, it’s a piece-of-shit name.” My wife calls me Scott. But the name’s advantageous, because when you show people that you can be playful, they open up and drop their guard. I am what I am.

Scooter is an amazing manager and person generally. I hope that Justin and Scooter will forever be close and nothing will ever come between them. If, they treat each other like family they will always have a strong bond.

Justin Wishes Scooter Braun A Happy 33rd BirthDay!!

Happy belated B.day Scooter! The older he gets, the wiser.

Usher, Scooter Braun, Soulja Boy defend Justin Saying He's Not Rascist, It Was All A Stupid Mistake!!

It’s been a rough few days for Justin Bieber and his team, following two videos of JB making racist jokes have been released to the public that he later on apologised for.

Popular radio host Elvis Duran has some sound advice for Justin Bieber after two damaging videos broke recently — one showing a reportedly 15-year-old JB telling a racist joke, and one of him using the N-word and joking about joining the Ku Klux Klan.

Elvis Duran tells ET bluntly:

I really think it’s a good time for Justin — as a very talented artist, which we’re totally forgetting about — it’s time for him to go away for a while. He needs to just disappear, grow up some, love life, learn how to be a guy and be a man, and come back and put an album out and it’ll be number one.

He also thinks people have become somewhat immune to JB’s highly publicized antics:

My theory about Justin in that there’s something awful being written about him every week – it’s to the point where I don’t even think people hear it anymore. As awful as these tapes are, I think people are saying, “Oh, well, no surprise there,” because there’s so much negative there about Justin.

Justin responded to the second video released Wednesday — featuring him laughing while singing an N-word filled racist parody of his 2009 song One Less Lonely Girl — by posting a Bible verse on his Instagram about sins and forgiveness.
And how does Elvis feel about his response?

You know what, he’s not — he’s not an awful guy. He makes bad decisions — makes him look bad — but the things he’s posting in his defense, I think he’s just trying to figure out what to do.

Drake Bell wants to know why people are defending Justin Bieber after the release of old footage showing him saying racist jokes. The former Nickelodeon star posted the below tweet.

@DrakeBell

Donald Sterling caught saying racist thing and ruins career. @justinbieber gets caught and the excuse “He doesn’t know any better” is used.

In a blog post for BlackAmericaWeb.com, CNN Anchor Don Lemon responds to two videos that showed Justin Bieber using the N-Word.

Some are saying Bieber is racist. Is he? I don’t know.

But I do know that this is the danger of the proliferation of the use of the n-word. Clearly Justin Bieber, a young man who by the way, has immersed himself in black, Hip Hop culture should not be saying the n-word.

So the question is, if you want people like Justin Bieber to stop using (N-word) and to stop making excuses for using it, shouldn’t you (African American) do the same?

In a statement released to E! News, Justin said:

Facing my mistakes from years ago has been one of the hardest things I’ve ever dealt with. But I feel now that I need to take responsibility for those mistakes and not let them linger.

I just hope that the next 14-year-old kid who doesn’t understand the power of these words does not make the same mistakes I made years ago. At the end of the day I just need to step up and own what I did.

Justin, who is now 20, also looked to his faith to help him as he faces the backlash for his youthful ignorance. He Instagrammed an excerpt from Jesus Calling, a daily devotional by Sarah Young, that encourages sinners to confess their wrongdoings to God, and not to seek “refuge in the darkness” or indulge “in self-pity, denial, self-righteousness, blaming, and hatred.”

Scooter posted this on instagram

Soulja Boy is the latest artist to come to JB’s defense in the wake of racist joke scandal … saying Justin should be forgiven for his mistakes.

Soulja tells TMZ:

I talked to Justin yesterday. I called him. He’s in Cancun (in Mexico). We spoke about it. It’s really just so old man. He was 15… The footage was super old. It was a very touchy, serious situation, but we all slip up, we all make mistakes and I told him, man I said, ‘You’re a great person…’ He said, ‘Thank you… for having my back.’ It is what it is. Let the kid live. We all slip up, we all make mistakes. Y’all know he’s not racist. I’m his homie, all his homies is black… he’s not racist.

Usher posted a statement (with a throwback photo showing his arm wrapped around Justin) to Instagram on Saturday, throwing his support behind Justin Bieber as footage of him telling racist jokes continues to leak.

At my core, I am a person that supports growth and understands without judgment, that growth often comes as a result of pain and continues effort. As I have watched Justin Bieber navigate difficult waters as a young man, I can tell you that he hasn’t always chosen the path of his greatest potential, but he is unequivocally not a racist.

What he was 5 years ago was a naïve child who did not understand the negative power and degradation that comes from playing with racial slurs. What he is now is a young man faced with an opportunity to become his best self, an example to the millions of kids that follow him to not make the same mistakes.

Usher’s Instagram comes after a Nylon Guys Magazine interview in which he stood by JB’s other indiscretions.
He told the magazine:

Do I turn my head in shame based off of what I see, what I know? Nah, I don’t because it’s all part of life’s proces. Am I in it with him? Yeah.

This whole situation has been a mess. I can bet that not in a million years did Justin ever think that this would be out on public. It was a stupid mistake that he did 5 years ago. I'm just wondering why it's such a big deal tho, I mean, I'm black, but that word doesnt have the same meaning as it did 50 - 60 years ago, the problem here is who you say it to. You cant just walk up to a random person and use that kidn of language. If you have friends that accept you calling them that because the word nowadays means "friend" or "hommie" or "buddy", which is what most people dont understand. Justin apologised, there is nothing more he can do really. He cant take back his words, but he can be a lesson to all the people who use as it's called, the N- word.
