Fans of Hailey and Justin Bieber think the Rhode founder might have sent an indirect message to record executive Scooter Braun after he praised Justin’s new album following reports that they’d reached a $31.5 million settlement. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Bieber<\/a> and Braun worked together for more than 15 years after the pop star started sharing music, but as they went their separate ways in 2023 Bieber was accused of owing Braun and his company, HYBE, millions of dollars<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The dispute alleged that Bieber agreed to pay HYBE back for the cost of his 2022 Justice World Tour<\/em>, which ended up being canceled. However, People reported<\/a> that Bieber only made one payment, and still had a debt of $26 million three years later.<\/p>\n

Another $11 million was allegedly tacked on to Bieber’s debt as a result of unpaid commissions.<\/p>\n

Neither Bieber nor Braun has shared an update on the dispute themselves at the time of writing (July 14), however, TMZ has reported<\/a> that the two celebrities have reached a financial settlement in which Bieber agreed to pay Braun $26 million for the tour, plus $5.5 million for unpaid commissions.<\/p>\n

Reports of the settlement came as Bieber dropped his latest album, Swag<\/em>, and Braun appeared to suggest there was no bad blood between himself and Bieber as he praised the album in a lengthy statement.<\/p>\n

In a post on his Instagram<\/a> Story, Braun wrote in part: \u201cBeen having a beautiful start to the weekend and been getting a lot of texts about how I feel about Justin\u2019s new album\u2026 so I will just leave this here.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is, without a doubt, the most authentically Justin Bieber album to date. It\u2019s beautiful, raw, and truly him. And that matters.\u201d<\/p>\n

After Braun shared his statement, fans couldn’t help but notice that Hailey<\/a> took to her Instagram Story to share a post of her own.<\/p>\n

The post didn’t mention Braun, but featured Hailey using a filter that zoomed in on her eyes as she gave an undeniable side-eye look, with Mariah Carey’s<\/a> song ‘Obsessed’ playing over the top.<\/p>\n

Fans were quick to jump to conclusions and expressed belief that the post was a response to Braun’s praise of Bieber, with one fan commenting: \u201cHAILEY SAID YOU\u2019RE OBSESSED SCOOTER LMFAOOO.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another shared screenshots of both Instagram Stories, adding: \u201cHailey Bieber\u2019s reaction to Scooter Braun\u2019s paragraphs about Justin\u2019s new album [laughing\/crying face].\u201d<\/p>\n

Braun told his followers he’d had the ‘privilege of witnessing’ Bieber’s growth over the last two decades, adding: \u201cThe way he chose to release [the album] is just as intentional as the music itself – and I\u2019m happy to see him do it this way. I\u2019ve played no [role] in this one, but as someone who\u2019s always believed in him, I\u2019m incredibly proud and impressed and genuinely enjoyed the music.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bieber surprised fans with the release of Swag<\/em>, which is his first album in four years.<\/p>\n
