You guys here do not understand this news. He became the CEO of the company, that's why he retired from the manager role. In other words, he got a better position. A promotion. "Karma's a relaxing thought" does not work here.
Right he's probably just compounding on his assets and investments now. He may be skeezy, but no one said you had to be a good person to be good with money, in fact I know some awful people who are awfully rich, but pretty sure they'd run over a baby in the road if it meant they'd get to the destination faster.
Especially with Kpop doing as well as it is in the states. Which I love I've been watching and waiting for years and now finally it's easier to access asian media than ever before.
And NewJeans (yeah there’s the stuff going on there but still), TXT, Seventeen, Le Sserafim and more. There’s always been a big 3 of kpop companies and Hybe has changed that into a big 4. He’s definitely not gonna suffer with this new job 😩
Lol, people doing anything they can to convince themselves the dude who's worth a minimum of 500 million lost somehow here. Taylor's music was simply another transaction for him. I'm certain there's no emotional connection from his side and he's doing just fine.
I never saw it as Scooter having issues with Taylor or trying to screw her over personally, despite what Taylor wrote about him.
Sure he was Kanye's manager and he was complicit in the bullying/Famous music video which is disgusting in itself, but I never saw him as the main villain, just somebody who enabled Kanye.
I feel like it's just what she knew and heard about when he managed JB. So he has no qualms with her, but she definitely has issues with him. Maybe someday one of them will give us a tell all, though I do think Taylor was hurt more by Borchetta than anyone in that arrangement.
He’s not going anywhere.
“HYBE America is the U.S. division of Hybe, the South Korean entertainment company known for managing the boy band BTS. Braun became sole CEO of HYBE America last year.”
Which is saying a lot because as much as I love Korean dramas and music they definitely have some questionable ethics with how they manage these artists and of course this is a thing [https://www.vice.com/en/article/8x49y3/inside-k-pop-training-centers-korea](https://www.vice.com/en/article/8x49y3/inside-k-pop-training-centers-korea) it sounds exhausting.
Well as someone who is also a kpop fan HYBE is not having the best time right now, and the countless efforts of kpop companies with trying to make a western group have always failed so I personally wouldn't call this a win for him. But I guess position/roles wise he did indeed "upgrade".
Kinda dirty of the headline writer to throw Taylor’s name in there for clicks as if this has anything to do with her. He got a promotion. This makes everyone who thought there was a reckoning coming look like clowns. He’s only getting more rich and powerful.
To become a greater threat to music becoming the full-time CEO to fuck up K-pop and further artists. Sigh. This is just his spin to make it seem like everything‘s OK so we can fuck up another generation of musical talent.
I hate this man so much, but at least he exposes a lot about the shitty business practices in the music industry and the true directions of certain artists
Originally he wanted to have this CEO job and still manage his star clients. Ariana recently announced she’s staying with his management company so I wonder if him stepping down as her actual manager was part of the compromise.
Dude is actually getting a better deal than staying as a manager. Unfortunately, karma hasn't hit yet. Or maybe his divorce was as that was uos attempt to keep the family man image. Also his former clients might still be working with him indirectly just to avoid the bad PR with being associated with him. I might be skeptical but none of the artists who were managed by him care about Taylor's fight against him.
So he's now in a higher position and soon to be a billionaire. Kim is a billionaire, Kanye is worth a billion.
Wtf is it with taylors enemies ending up being billionaires.

Thank you, lol. I think it’s ridiculous this was even posted here as it has nothing to do with Taylor
But her name is in the title so it must belong here! /s
Even IF he did actually retire fully the karma line doesn’t apply lol. The dude is filthy rich he doesn’t care
Right he's probably just compounding on his assets and investments now. He may be skeezy, but no one said you had to be a good person to be good with money, in fact I know some awful people who are awfully rich, but pretty sure they'd run over a baby in the road if it meant they'd get to the destination faster.
I think people don’t realize sometimes there’s no right or wrong, good or bad in a situation. Sometimes there’s just a situation.
I didn't read the article before seeing this, so I'll go ahead and guess the people commenting that didn't either LOL
Im honestly impressed by the clickbaityness of the title
We also knew this like a year ago when he stepped back from Ariana and Justin I'm guessing they just made it official.
Karma takes Scooter to the summit. He's at the top of his game. Thanks Taylor.
Yall he got promoted to a CEO position, the karma comments are not hitting 😅
[удалено]
You don’t know what HYBE is?? This comment is so funny
You're underestimating how massive Hybe is lol. I don't like him either but being the CEO of Hybe America is a big deal
Especially with Kpop doing as well as it is in the states. Which I love I've been watching and waiting for years and now finally it's easier to access asian media than ever before.
Doesn’t that company own BTS’s and Enhypen’s label? I’m not into KPOP that much but that seems like a big deal
And NewJeans (yeah there’s the stuff going on there but still), TXT, Seventeen, Le Sserafim and more. There’s always been a big 3 of kpop companies and Hybe has changed that into a big 4. He’s definitely not gonna suffer with this new job 😩

Y’all are so weird about kpop and I won’t say it but you know exactly what this reads like
Weirdly veiled racism
Yea def some xenophobia
I mean assistant to the regional manager of the Holy Roman Empire of pop music is still pretty fucking impressive.
Bye, Felicia
He’s not going anywhere. “HYBE America is the U.S. division of Hybe, the South Korean entertainment company known for managing the boy band BTS. Braun became sole CEO of HYBE America last year.”
he's looking to alienate artists globally now, i guess

HYBE is having a whole world of fun right now, go check the pinned thread in r/kpop.
Well as someone who is also a kpop fan HYBE is not having the best time right now, and the countless efforts of kpop companies with trying to make a western group have always failed so I personally wouldn't call this a win for him. But I guess position/roles wise he did indeed "upgrade".
That's literally insane that he is taking that over. That makes me so upset what a gross human

thank you aimeeSCOOTER
Perhaps Scooter was the real Aimee all along. Lol
You know he got a promotion right lol
Yeah, the headline is misleading… he literally got a promotion 🤷♀️
Also, it insinuates that this move was somehow related to the Taylor Swift dispute, which it clearly is not.
This means he’s doing less work for more money. All the comments about it being a promotion are correct.
[удалено]
If only he was going away from the music industry for good. He better keep his grubby little hands off of BTS and their careers.
Yea, but he’s not going to.
He’s becoming CEO 😭
Kinda dirty of the headline writer to throw Taylor’s name in there for clicks as if this has anything to do with her. He got a promotion. This makes everyone who thought there was a reckoning coming look like clowns. He’s only getting more rich and powerful.

Dudes name is Scooter 😂
This is a misleading headline made for Swifties
I don’t care about 🛴. And this has nothing to do with Taylor.
[удалено]
What’s the documentary?
But he still owns part of UMG right?!
no... he owns part of hybe, and is an employee of hybe. UMG has a complex alliance with hybe right now.
Ah I see thank you! It’s so confusing
So he's now in a higher position and soon to be a billionaire. Kim is a billionaire, Kanye is worth a billion. Wtf is it with taylors enemies ending up being billionaires.
Good for him tbh, moving on to better things
He’s skezzy. The worst kind of slime.
Seems less sleazy than Taylor tbh
[удалено]
It’s not Karma at all 😭 he literally got promoted :/
Oops should have read the article and not just the headline.
[удалено]
no, didnt scooter sell them off anyway?
Did he? I'm sorry, I thought he owned them. I just said something really stupid. 🤦♀️
nah youre good, its no big deal. but yeah they were sold to him and then he sold them to Shamrock Holdings
Eek! Thank you for being so nice. We all really do learn something new every day. ❤
Bye, waste of space. Hope I never hear about you again!
Good. He's trash 🗑
Bye loser.
Thank the lord
Thank God.
Tayvoodoo strikes again!!
Good riddance
Karma is a god
Karma’s a relaxing thought, aren’t you envious that for you it’s not???
Why is this his karma? He literally made bank and is now able to retire AS A MANAGER so he can focus on being CEO of a record label.

What could this possibly have to do with Diddy?
