Justin Bieber slams Taylor Swift for ‘crossing a line’ with Scooter Braun

Washington: Singer-songwriter Justin Bieber defended long-time manager Scooter Braun’s after singer Taylor Swift released a statement criticising him for buying her music catalogue.
Her statement came in response to Braun’s acquisition of Big Machine Records, which holds the rights to Swift’s first six albums. On Sunday morning, the ‘You Belong With Me’ singer revealed that the music manager will soon own her entire music catalogue.
After Swift’s post, the ‘Sorry’ singer issued his statement on the matter. While he apologised to the singer for sharing “hurtful” Instagram post in 2016 of him FaceTiming Braun and Kanye West, who is famously involved in a long-time feud with Swift, Bieber defended his manager.
“Hey Taylor. First of all i would like to apologize for posting that hurtful instagram post, at the time i thought it was funny but looking back it was distasteful and insensitive.. I have to be honest though it was my caption and post that I screenshoted of scooter and Kanye that said “taylor swift what up” he didnt have anything to do with it and it wasnt even a part of the conversation in all actuality he was the person who told me not to joke like that,” he wrote apologising for his old post.
Defending the music manager, he said, “Scooter has had your back since the days you graciously let me open up for you.! As the years have passed we haven’t crossed paths and gotten to communicate our differences, hurts or frustrations. So for you to take it to social media and get people to hate on scooter isn’t fair.” “What were you trying to accomplish by posting that blog? seems to me like it was to get sympathy u also knew that in posting that your fans would go and bully scooter. Anyway, One thing i know is both scooter and i love you. I feel like the only way to resolve conflict is through communication. So banter back and fourth online i dont believe solves anything. I’m sure Scooter and i would love to talk to you and resolve any conflict, pain or or any feelings that need to be addressed,” he continued.
