Report: Kanye West Splits With Manager Scooter Braun [Updated]

Published: Tuesday 24th Apr 2018 by Sam

Despite lining up a long-list of new material for release in the coming weeks, Kanye West has reportedly severed ties with mega-manager Scooter Braun.

Full story below…

Via The Blast:

According to sources close to Kanye, Braun, along with music lawyers Howard King and Peter Paterno are no longer working with the star.

We’re told Kanye made an ultimatum to his top confidantes that they had to leave their respective businesses and become “In-house” employees for the Yeezy brand.  Braun and the lawyers refused to abandon their other clients, and decided it was time to move on from Kanye.

We’re told Kanye’s been advised that cutting his team loose while he prepares to drop a ton of new music is not the greatest plan, especially considering the legal hurdles that come with putting out a new album.  For his part, Kanye doesn’t think he needs music management him right now, and plans on going forward without a manager.

The report goes on to cite a source that says many of the folk who supported Yeezy during 2016 “breakdown” are now being pushed out and that there’s an overall concern for his present state.

It’s worth highlighting that the changes come just weeks after Ye parted ways with another of his longtime managers.

UPDATE: Kanye has just confirmed the news in the most “Kanye” way possible:

The timing is certainly…unique.

June is right around the corner, meaning so too is the wealth of new music he promised from himself and several of his artists.

Moving forward without management (should that indeed be his play) doesn’t fill us with hope. But time will tell how all works out.

Your thoughts?

    the music isnt going to live up to the hype — not his solo album and especially not the kid cudi collabo, teyana’s sophomore project or nas’ release. it will ALL be heavily drenched in 1960’s and 1970’s samples — mostly in very inappropriate or random placements. kanye is extremely OVERRATED!

    • Jasmine April 24, 2018

      No one really cares what you think because the albums will release anyway and they’ll be successful. Why must we hate?

        Trol Alert!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Do Not Engage with the blurry pic using S****** Trash Blond. He is using my pic because he is ugly.

    Who. Cares. Kanye’ been played for years but people keep giving passes for whatever reason

  4. S****** Blonde April 24, 2018

    Kanye is another black celebrity that is not going to leave his money to the next generation of black people. Michael, Michelle Williams, Tiger Woods ,etc are all black puppets who will return their money to the white man who gave it them.

    • SMH April 24, 2018

      Sad but true. He’s already bending over for the trump crowd.

  5. Justme April 24, 2018

    He wants to imitate Beyonce’s brand so bad. The releases the team the brand.. everything. People will say no. But everything he wants as in brand and music the way her team is. Is exactly what kanye wants
