Music executive Scooter Braun responded to the mass exodus of his A-list stars like Justin Bieber, Ariana Grande, and more <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/ariana-grande-demi-lovato-ditch-manager-scooter-braun-justin-bieber-insists-hes-staying-despite-rumors-of-split" target="_blank" rel="noopener">amid rumors</a> that he&#8217;s getting out of the management business.
The 42-year-old talent manager seemed to make light of the <a href="https://pagesix.com/2023/08/22/scooter-braun-claims-justin-bieber-and-ariana-grande-are-still-his-clients/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">headlines</a> about him reportedly being fired when he posted a <a href="https://twitter.com/scooterbraun" target="_blank" rel="noopener">message on X</a> to his 3.5 million followers that read, &#8220;Breaking news … I&#8217;m no longer managing myself.&#8221;

Breaking news… I’m no longer managing myself

The post came about after multiple reports surfaced this week on social media that his clients Bieber, Grande, Idina Menzel and Demi Lovato <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-12431211/Ariana-Grande-dumps-Scooter-Braun-Hollywood-managers-career-crisis-7-Ringers-singer-joins-Demi-Lovato-J-Balvin-severing-ties-Justin-Bieber-insists-standing-him.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">have split</a> from the famed music manager. But the reason has yet to be shared.
A source close to Braun disputed the reports and told <a href="https://pagesix.com/2023/08/22/scooter-braun-claims-justin-bieber-and-ariana-grande-are-still-his-clients/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Page Six</a> that his pop star clients are all still &#8220;under contract&#8221; and the music exec is just taking on a new role.
&#8220;All of Scooter Braun&#8217;s clients are under contract, and negotiations have been going on for several months as Scooter steps into his larger role as Hybe America CEO,&#8221; the source said. &#8220;People are spreading rumors based on what they know, but they are off. Scooter&#8217;s team at SB Projects are still handling both Justin and Ariana as they work through what this new structure looks like.&#8221;
Insiders said Braun was stepping away from day-to-day duties and is &#8220;getting out of management&#8221; altogether, <a href="https://variety.com/2023/music/news/scooter-braun-justin-bieber-ariana-grande-management-1235702184/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Variety</a> noted.
&#8220;He has been for years,&#8221; the source said. &#8220;That&#8217;s the real story.&#8221;
On Monday, <a href="https://www.billboard.com/pro/demi-lovato-leaves-manager-scooter-braun-sb-projects/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Billboard</a> reported that the &#8220;Side to Side&#8221; hitmaker and Bieber had dropped Braun amid reports of trouble between the &#8220;Baby&#8221; hitmaker and his longtime manager. Grande, who worked with Scooter for a decade, reportedly has &#8220;outgrown him and is excited to go in a different direction,&#8221; the <a href="https://people.com/justin-bieber-hasnt-talked-scooter-braun-months-working-new-album-without-him-exclusive-7749937?hid=4f90b78dc31e627328d98338e1fa49d03b364abc&amp;did=10058380-20230823&amp;utm_source=ppl&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_campaign=people-news_newsletter&amp;utm_content=082323&amp;lctg=4f90b78dc31e627328d98338e1fa49d03b364abc" target="_blank" rel="noopener">outlet</a> noted.
However, reps for both of the singers have denied anything is wrong. While other sources told Page six &#8220;where there&#8217;s smoke, there&#8217;s fire.&#8221;
One insider told <a href="https://people.com/justin-bieber-hasnt-talked-scooter-braun-months-working-new-album-without-him-exclusive-7749937?hid=4f90b78dc31e627328d98338e1fa49d03b364abc&amp;did=10058380-20230823&amp;utm_source=ppl&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_campaign=people-news_newsletter&amp;utm_content=082323&amp;lctg=4f90b78dc31e627328d98338e1fa49d03b364abc" target="_blank" rel="noopener">People</a> magazine that for the first time in nearly two decades, Bieber was working on new music without Braun and that the two have not spoken in almost a year.
&#8220;Justin&#8217;s been working on his new record for the last six months,&#8221; an insider said. &#8220;Scooter and SB Projects have not set up one session or done one thing for this [new] record. The relationship with Scooter has run its course.&#8221;
Other insiders said Menzel and Braun parted ways earlier this year and the &#8220;Heart Attack&#8221; hitmaker split from him in July.

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/hailey-bieber" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hailey Bieber</a> discussed how she feels about the idea of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/motherhood" target="_blank" rel="noopener">becoming a mom</a> after years of speculation from fans over when or if she would get pregnant.
Hailey, the daughter of actor Stephen Baldwin, has been married to Canadian recording artist <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/justin-bieber" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Justin Bieber</a> since November 2018. The 26-year-old model addressed the thought of having children in a recent <a href="https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/hailey-bieber-i-want-kids-so-bad-but-i-get-scared-p37k0plv7" target="_blank" rel="noopener">interview</a> with The Sunday Times.
&#8220;I literally cry about this all the time,&#8221; Hailey said while laughing. &#8220;I want kids so bad but I get scared. It&#8217;s enough that people say things about my husband or my friends. I can&#8217;t imagine having to confront people saying things about a child.&#8221;
&#8220;We can only do the best we can to raise them,&#8221; she said of having children. &#8220;As long as they feel loved and safe.&#8221;
Hailey also talked about the mini-stroke she experienced in March 2022. The celeb said it’s vital for women to &#8220;get the information they need&#8221; from their doctors.
&#8220;The day after I was hospitalized, it was on the internet,&#8221; Hailey said. &#8220;I wanted to talk about what happened in my own words because so many people were making assumptions.&#8221;
&#8220;If you let things like that silence you, you&#8217;re allowing people to dictate how you live your life,&#8221; she continued. &#8220;Sometimes I do just want to curl up and be a hermit, like, &#8216;If this is how people feel maybe I should just stay home.&#8217; But I&#8217;m really not that kind of person.&#8221;
This isn’t the first time the Biebers brought up the idea of having kids. Hailey <a href="https://www.harpersbazaar.com/culture/features/a40771923/hailey-bieber-fashion-icon-interview/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">gushed over</a> her marriage in August, saying of Justin, &#8220;He&#8217;s still the person that I wanna be rushing back to. I might fly somewhere and go do a job, but I can&#8217;t wait to come back and hang out.&#8221;

&#8220;I feel like that&#8217;s because of the effort that&#8217;s been put in on both sides,&#8221; she said at the time. &#8220;At the end of the day, like, he&#8217;s my best friend, but it still does take a lot of work to make it work. And then I know eventually, when kids come in the picture, that&#8217;s going to be a whole other season of navigating how to make that work.”
Justin echoed the desire to become a father, saying the total number of kids he wanted was “as many as Hailey is wishing to push out.”
&#8220;I&#8217;d love to have myself a little tribe. But, yeah, it&#8217;s her body and whatever she wants to do. &#8230; I think she wants to have a few,” the singer <a href="https://people.com/parents/justin-bieber-hailey-baldwin-kids-following-her-lead-ellen-degeneres-show/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> during a 2020 appearance on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show.”

Hailey Bieber opened up about her current mental health struggles and admitted she&#8217;s had &#8220;some of the saddest, hardest moments&#8221; in her life in 2023 after she suffered a mini-stroke last year.
The <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/hailey-bieber">26-year-old</a> model and wife of pop singer <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/justin-bieber">Justin Bieber</a> got personal in a Thursday post on her <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CrQ5lKYMYo3/?igshid=MDJmNzVkMjY%3D">Instagram Stories</a>, sharing with her 49.5 million followers that she&#8217;s been having a &#8220;hard time&#8221; and feeling &#8220;fragile&#8221; this year.
&#8220;I like to make jokes about how I feel because sometimes it&#8217;s easier than admitting I&#8217;m having a hard time,&#8221; Bieber wrote.
&#8220;But truthfully since 2023 started I have had some of the saddest, hardest moments I&#8217;ve ever had in my adult life and my mind and emotions have been fragile to say the least,&#8221; she added. &#8220;And I know so many other people feel the same way I feel, so just know you&#8217;re not alone.&#8221;

&#8220;That being said, let&#8217;s keep being there for one another,&#8221; Bieber continued. &#8220;Let&#8217;s be there for loved ones and friends and family and strangers. Let&#8217;s just be there for people &#8230; let&#8217;s keep showing up for each other even when it&#8217;s hard. We&#8217;re better together.&#8221;
Her post comes following some social media drama between her fans and those of Justin Bieber&#8217;s ex, Selena Gomez. Both celebrities have shown support for each other and called for the negativity to end, <a href="https://people.com/style/hailey-bieber-saddest-hardest-moments-2023/">People noted</a>.
In January, Hailey opened up about the mini-stroke she suffered while visiting Palm Springs, California, in March of 2022, calling it &#8220;terrifying&#8221; and &#8220;jarring&#8221; and saying that the experience had left her with a &#8220;bit of PTSD,&#8221; as previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/hailey-bieber-opens-up-about-terrifying-and-jarring-mini-stroke-that-left-her-with-some-ptsd">reported</a>.
&#8220;It was definitely the scariest thing I&#8217;ve ever gone through,&#8221; Hailey explained. &#8220;Even the first couple of times coming back [to Palm Springs] after was a little bit of a strange triggering kind of feeling for me because you just remember exactly how everything happened in that moment. But I think the bright side for me was that it led me to find out I had this hole in my heart.&#8221;

&#8220;I struggled with a lot of anxiety after,&#8221; she added. &#8220;I struggled with a little bit of PTSD [Post Traumatic Stress Disorder] of just like the fear of maybe it was gonna happen again. And it was just a feeling that I was, like, I never want to experience that ever again. I mean, it was so terrifying, so jarring, so discombobulating in every single way that you could imagine.&#8221;

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/justin-bieber" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Justin Bieber</a> got everyone&#8217;s attention on Wednesday when he posted a video that showed the status of his partial face paralysis after being diagnosed with Ramsay Hunt syndrome in June 2022.
The 29-year-old singer posted a clip on his Instagram Story showing him looking side to side and lifting his eyebrows before giving a big full grin, the &#8220;Today&#8221; <a href="https://www.today.com/health/news/justin-bieber-shares-update-facial-mobility-ramsay-hunt-syndrome-diagn-rcna75210" target="_blank" rel="noopener">show</a> reported. He captioned his post, &#8220;Wait for it&#8230;&#8221;

In June, Bieber revealed that he had to leave the tour after being diagnosed with the rare disorder that left him paralyzed on one side of his face.

&#8220;No action is required to obtain a refund,&#8221; the tweet read.  &#8220;It will be processed to the original method of payment used at time of purchase, once funds are received from the Event Organizer, which is usually completed within 30 days.&#8221;

&#8220;At only 28 years of age, he is one of a handful of defining artists of the streaming era that has revitalized the entire music industry, taking a loyal and worldwide audience with him on a journey from teen phenomenon to culturally important artist,&#8221; he added.
&#8220;This acquisition ranks among the biggest deals ever made for an artist under the age of 70, such is the power of this incredible catalog that has almost 82 million monthly listeners and over 30 billion streams on Spotify alone,&#8221; Mercuriadis continued. &#8220;Scooter Braun has helped him build a magnificent catalogue, and it&#8217;s a pleasure to welcome Justin and his incredible songs and recordings to the Hipgnosis family.&#8221;
The &#8220;Baby&#8221; hitmaker has yet to comment on the reported sale of his master recordings and neighboring rights. However, Bieber&#8217;s manager of 15 years, Braun, called the deal &#8220;historic.&#8221;
&#8220;When Justin made the decision to make a catalog deal we quickly found the best partner to preserve and grow this amazing legacy was Merck and Hipgnosis,&#8221; Braun explained. &#8220;For over a decade now Justin Bieber has entertained us and moved us with some of the biggest songs in the world.&#8221;
&#8220;Justin is truly a once in a generation artist and that is reflected and acknowledged by the magnitude of this deal,&#8221; he added. “For 15 years I have been grateful to witness this journey and today I am happy for all those involved. Justin&#8217;s greatness is just beginning.&#8221;

Hailey Bieber opened up about the mini-stroke she suffered while visiting Palm Springs, California, in March of 2022, calling it &#8220;terrifying&#8221; and &#8220;jarring&#8221; and saying that the experience had left her with a &#8220;bit of PTSD.&#8221;
During the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/hailey-bieber">26-year-old</a> model&#8217;s appearance on the latest show of &#8220;The Run-Through with Vogue&#8221; <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/hailey-bieber-never-sleeps-in-her-makeup-plus-reforming/id1526206712?i=1000592607552">podcast</a>, Justin Bieber&#8217;s wife talked about struggling to feel like everything would be okay after she suffered a blood clot in her brain that sent her to the hospital with stroke-like symptoms.
At the time, she was diagnosed with a PFO, which is a hole in her heart that didn&#8217;t close after birth, that sent a clot into her brain, as <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/hailey-bieber-details-terrifying-life-altering-mini-stroke-she-suffered-and-procedure-to-close-hole-in-her-heart">The Daily Wire</a> previously reported. The TV personality later underwent a procedure to close the hole.

&#8220;It was definitely the scariest thing I&#8217;ve ever gone through,&#8221; Hailey explained. &#8220;Even the first couple of times coming back [to Palm Springs] after was a little bit of a strange triggering kind of feeling for me because you just remember exactly how everything happened in that moment. But I think the bright side for me was that it led me to find out I had this hole in my heart.&#8221;
&#8220;I struggled with a lot of anxiety after,&#8221; she added. &#8220;I struggled with a little bit of PTSD [Post Traumatic Stress Disorder] of just like the fear of maybe it was gonna happen again. And it was just a feeling that I was, like, I never want to experience that ever again. I mean, it was so terrifying, so jarring, so discombobulating in every single way that you could imagine.&#8221;
Bieber admitted even months after she went through it, it was still &#8220;really hard to talk about.&#8221;
&#8220;It brings back the feelings for me of going through that experience,&#8221; the supermodel explained. &#8220;It gets easier, and easier with time to be able to talk about it. And I&#8217;m just really grateful that I was able to have amazing doctors, and nurses, and people that helped me heal and get to the bottom of what actually happened.&#8221;
&#8220;Just now starting to come out of that kind of fight or flight feeling of being nervous about something bad happening again,&#8221; she added. &#8220;I look back at it and it could&#8217;ve been so much worse. So many worse things could have happened in that moment. I&#8217;m just grateful that I&#8217;m okay.&#8221;
The &#8220;Baby&#8221; hitmaker&#8217;s wife previously shared that doctors last year called it a &#8220;perfect storm&#8221; that lead to hospitalization after the model had COVID-19, just traveled &#8220;to Paris and back in a very short amount of time,&#8221; and was dealing with a combination of birth-control issues, as previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/hailey-bieber-details-terrifying-life-altering-mini-stroke-she-suffered-and-procedure-to-close-hole-in-her-heart">reported</a>.

Hailey Bieber Opens Up About ‘Terrifying’ And ‘Jarring’ Mini-Stroke That Left Her With Some PTSD

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/justin-bieber" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Justin Bieber</a> spent a small fortune on a Bored Ape <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/nft" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NFT</a> in January, but less than one year later the value has plummeted due in part to the collapse of Sam Bankman-Fried’s FTX, according to a report from Business Insider.
The 28-year-old pop star purchased the non-fungible token for 500 of the cryptocurrency ethereum, which is equivalent to $1.3 million. However, the value of the NFT has dropped to only 58 ethereum, or $70,000, Business Insider <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/justin-bieber-bored-ape-nft-value-dropped-after-ftx-collapsed-2022-11" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>.
It’s all related to the collapse of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/cryptocurrency" target="_blank" rel="noopener">crypto</a> exchange company FTX, which was headed by big-time Democrat donor Bankman-Fried. The company&#8217;s implosion affected crypto prices across the board, which in turn decreased the value of Bored Ape&#8217;s NFTs.
Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC), known informally as Bored Ape, is an NFT art collection with a value of more than $1 billion. The NFTs are recognizable as they feature profile pictures of cartoon apes that are generated by an algorithm.
Besides Bieber, other celebrities who have purchased Bored Ape NFTs include Jimmy Fallon, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Gwyneth Paltrow, Madonna, Neymar, Paris Hilton, Timbaland, and DJ Steve Aoki. 
Crypto messaging company XMTP founder and CEO Matt Galligan explained the Bored Ape phenomenon, telling <a href="https://www.newyorker.com/culture/infinite-scroll/why-bored-ape-avatars-are-taking-over-twitter" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The New Yorker</a>, “It became a status symbol of sorts, kind of like wearing a fancy watch or rare sneakers.”
The founder said he and his business partner chose apes because putting significant capital into new crypto currency or NFTS is called “aping in,” and they also “just like apes.”
But even the popularity of Bored Ape NFTS wasn&#8217;t enough to withstand the spectacular downfall of FTX. The Bahamas-headquartered company was launched in 2019 and grew to more than one million users by 2022. 
When it was revealed that both FTX and Alameda research had overlap on their balance sheets, users demanded $6 billion in withdrawals and <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/billionaire-ftx-founder-who-lost-entire-fortune-gave-massive-sum-to-democrats-before-empire-collapsed">tanked</a> the value of the company. Bankman-Fried went from having a $15.6 billion net worth down to being broke in the span of two days.

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/judge-judy-sheindlin">Judge Judy</a> claims pop singer <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/justin-bieber">Justin Bieber</a> was frightened of her when the two were neighbors several years ago.
&#8220;He&#8217;s scared to death of me,&#8221; TV personality Judy Sheindlin, better known as Judge Judy, told &#8220;<a href="https://www.accessonline.com/videos/judge-judy-says-former-neighbor-justin-bieber-is-scared-to-death-of-me-exclusive">Access Hollywood</a>.&#8221; 
&#8220;There was a period of time before he grew up – when he was foolish, and doing foolish things,&#8221; she continued.
Sheindlin is known for starring in the popular courtroom <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/entertainment">TV series</a> “Judge Judy,” which shows her presiding over real-life small-claims cases inside a televised courtroom. The 80-year-old judge was known for her tough, no-nonsense demeanor in court.
Judge Judy said Bieber went as far as having his security team tell the pop star when she was coming and going so he could avoid seeing her outside.
&#8220;I must have said something about it, and then, I understood that he was paying the front door people to let them know when I was there, coming and going, so he wouldn&#8217;t have to bump into me,&#8221; she told the outlet.
Sheindlin had previously called out Bieber’s antics following his DUI arrest in 2014. 
“Being a celebrity is a gift,&#8221; the TV personality <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/losangeles/news/reality-tv-star-judge-judy-reflects-on-fun-career-speaks-mind-on-justin-beiber/">told</a> CBS Los Angeles at the time. &#8220;You could either treat it reverently or you could make a fool out of yourself. And he&#8217;s doing a very good job of making a fool out of himself.&#8221;
She went on to say how wasteful it was to see someone like Bieber wasting his fame and talent.
&#8220;I think it&#8217;s sad. And nobody&#8217;s going to remember that he was a marginal singer. But they&#8217;re going to remember a young kid who had a chance to have it all and who is blowing it by acting like a fool.&#8221;
Bieber later apologized for his actions and has since leaned into his Christian faith and stayed out of trouble. He married Hailey Bieber in 2018 and is now living a quieter life.
&#8220;7 years ago today I got was arrested, not my finest hour,&#8221; the “Never Say Never” composer shared in a 2021 Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CKZnd17nzOS/?hl=en">post</a>. &#8220;Not proud of where I was at in my life. I was hurting, unhappy, confused, angry, mislead, misunderstood and angry at God.&#8221;
&#8220;All this to say God has brought me a long way,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;From then til now I do realize something.. God was as close to me then as he is right now. My encouragement to you is to let your past be a reminder of how far God has brought you. Don’t allow shame to ruin your ‘today’ let the forgiveness of Jesus take over and watch your life blossom into all that God has designed you to be.&#8221;

Hailey Bieber addressed claims that she &#8220;stole&#8221; Justin Bieber from singer Selena Gomez or was some kind of &#8220;homewrecker&#8221; and said she never did — and won&#8217;t discuss the subject ever again.
During the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/hailey-bieber">25-year-old</a> model&#8217;s appearance on the &#8220;Call Her Daddy&#8221; <a href="https://open.spotify.com/episode/0EBTCiYZl535zGYjbC6LXo?si=Of9yn09SS-uAjJEiqlepaA">podcast</a> that aired Wednesday, Hailey told host Alex Cooper that there is zero truth to the idea that she and <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/justin-bieber-gives-fans-update-on-tour-plans-after-cancelling-over-face-paralysis">Justin</a> were ever &#8220;romantically&#8221; involved at the same time the &#8220;Baby&#8221; hitmaker and Gomez were together.
&#8220;No, not one time,&#8221; Bieber&#8217;s wife explained. &#8220;When him and I ever started, like, hooking up or like anything of that sort, he was not ever in a relationship — ever, at any point. &#8230; It&#8217;s not my character to mess with someone&#8217;s relationship, I would just never do that.&#8221;
&#8220;I was raised better than that,&#8221; she added. &#8220;I&#8217;m not interested in doing that and I never was. I think that there are situations where you can still kind of have back and forth with someone but even that was not the situation.&#8221;

&#8220;I can say period, point-blank, I was never with him when he was in a relationship with anybody,&#8221; Bieber continued. &#8220;That&#8217;s the end of it. And I had been involved with him since I was 18. &#8230; I understand again, how it looks from the outside and there&#8217;s a lot of perception there, but that was a situation where I know for a fact that it was the right thing for them to close that door.&#8221;
The supermodel reiterated once again that Bieber and Selena were &#8220;not in a relationship at that time, but of course there&#8217;s a very long history there and it&#8217;s not my relationship.&#8221;
She shared that she doesn&#8217;t want to speak on behalf of either one of them ever again because it&#8217;s their relationship and she honestly respects that &#8220;very deeply.&#8221;
&#8220;I just, yeah, I respect her,&#8221; the model shared later.  &#8220;There&#8217;s no drama &#8230; it&#8217;s all love.&#8221;
Hailey, who&#8217;s the daughter of actor Stephen Baldwin and Kennya Baldwin, and the &#8220;Yummy&#8221; hitmaker got married in 2018.

Superstar Justin Bieber announced he was once again canceling his &#8220;Justice World Tour&#8221; because he needs to make his &#8220;health a priority&#8221; — and he didn&#8217;t specify when it would be back on.
In a message shared on his <a href="https://www.instagram.com/stories/justinbieber/2921449770934239473/">Instagram Stories</a> Tuesday, the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/justin-bieber">28-year-old</a> singer talked about how exhausted he was after getting off the stage following his show in Rock in Rio over the weekend and said that he gave &#8220;everything he had to the people in Brazil.&#8221;
&#8220;Earlier this year, I went public with my battle with Ramsay-Hunt Syndrome, where my face was partially paralyzed,&#8221; Bieber explained in his announcement. &#8220;As the result of this illness, I was not able to complete the North American leg of the Justice Tour.&#8221;
&#8220;After resting and consulting with my doctors, family and team, I went to Europe in an effort to continue with the tour,&#8221; he added, as he shared that the six shows took a real &#8220;toll&#8221; on him.
&#8220;After getting off stage, the exhaustion overtook me and I realized that I need to make my health the priority right now,&#8221; the superstar singer continued. &#8220;So I&#8217;m going to take a break from touring for the time being. I&#8217;m going to be ok, but I need time to rest and get better.&#8221;
The &#8220;Baby&#8221; hitmaker closed out his post noting how proud he&#8217;s been to bring &#8220;message of Justice to the world&#8221; as he thanked fans for all their prayers and support through all he&#8217;s been going through. The tour dates left on the <a href="https://www.justinbiebermusic.com/tour">schedule</a> include dates through early December 2022 — after which he was supposed to return to Europe in early 2023 — with the last show planned for March 21, 2023 in Poland.

The &#8220;Peaches&#8221; hitmaker finally returned to the stage in August — he walked away from his world tour two months earlier after suffering partial face paralysis, as <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/justin-bieber-suffering-from-full-paralysis-on-this-side-of-my-face-diagnosed-with-rare-syndrome-cancels-concert-dates">The Daily Wire</a> previously reported.
In June, Bieber revealed that he had to leave the tour after being diagnosed with the rare disorder that left him paralyzed on one side of his face. But his condition apparently progressed in more recent weeks to the point that he could perform again. The rare disease is connected to having the chicken pox/shingles virus.
The &#8220;Ghost&#8221; hitmaker is married to 25-year-old supermodel Hailey Bieber.

‘Health A Priority’: Justin Bieber Cancels World Tour Again

Health

Not long after <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/celebrities">JoJo Siwa</a> went viral for dissing <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/candace-cameron-bure">Candace Cameron Bure</a>, the 19-year-old singer is at it again, but this time she’s calling out pop star <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/justin-bieber">Justin Bieber</a>.
Siwa posted a video on TikTok that showed her standing in front of a picture from 2018 when she shared a photo of her first car on Instagram. The text on the video says, “POV you’re Justin Bieber when I got my first car…”
Meanwhile, Siwa played a clip from “Vampire Diaries” that included the line, “Burn it. Did I say, ‘Stand there and look stupid?’ No, I said, ‘Burn. It.&#8217;” 
She added the caption, “This audio was made for me.”
It all goes back to December 2018 when the “Dance Moms” alum posted a photo of her new car which had a giant picture of her face on it. At the time, Bieber commented “burn it,” which inspired Siwa’s mom Jessalynn Siwa to clap back saying he should burn his stuff instead. Siwa was 15 when this all happened. 
The incident was resolved when Bieber apologized a few days later, saying he took issue with the color of the car, not the face sticker, according to <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/jojo-siwa-calls-out-justin-bieber-making-fun-first-car-viral-tiktok-trend">Fox News</a>. The pop star said he hoped Siwa “didn’t think it was malicious or mean spirited.”
It’s unclear why Siwa is bringing this up now. Fans were equally confused when Siwa accused Bure of being the “rudest celebrity” she ever met. 
“Honestly, I was shocked when I saw the TikTok on Sunday, and I had no idea where it came from,” Bure said in a video response after the TikTok about her went viral in July. “I immediately tried to reach out to her through a mutual friend … because I didn’t know what happened — I didn’t know.”
Bure immediately tried to rectify the situation with Siwa, The Daily Wire originally <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/i-called-her-candace-cameron-bures-all-class-response-after-jojo-siwa-trashes-her-as-rudest-celebrity">reported</a>.
“I called her,” the “Fuller House” actress said. “We had a great conversation.”
“I didn’t think this was gonna go viral … It was just a silly TikTok trend,” Siwa told Bure at the time. “I didn’t think it was a big deal.”
Siwa went on to say she was upset that Bure allegedly snubbed her when she asked for a photo on the red carpet during a “Fuller House” premiere.
“You weren’t even mean,” Siwa told Bure, the actress said,  “I get it now as an adult … but at that time, I was 11.”
Bure said the two worked it out.
