Justin Bieber Reportedly Sells Music Catalog Amid Rumours of Financial Issues:”Celebs Dey Suffer”

• Canadian singer-songwriter Justin Bieber has reportedly sold his music catalogue owing to supposed financial difficulties
• The Baby breakout star known as one of the world's best-selling singers reportedly sold his music catalogue has triggered reactions online
• According to reports, Justin Bieber's former manager, Scooter Braun, advised against the contract

Reports emerged stating that Justin Bieber is reportedly on the point of financial ruin as he sold his music collection for $200 million two and a half years ago, amid new details about his breakup with his ex-manager.

According to TMZ on Thursday, the pop musician, who recently boasted about drug usage in a shameless tweet, made between $500 million and $1 billion but wasted it all and was in financial issues before selling to Blackstone-backed Hipgnosis Songs Capital.

Justin's sources said that he was on the edge of 'financial collapse' in 2022, forcing him to sell the rights to his songs at the end of the year.

Insiders further claim that his manager Scooter Braun advised him not to sell so early in his career or to wait until January 2023 to receive a tax credit, but Justin refused to wait and ended up selling in December 2022.

Justin remains the youngest artist to have ever sold their catalog, and the publication reports that being in desperate financial straits played a significant role in the decision.

He rose to prominence as a 15-year-old with the release of the 2010 single Baby.

Celebrity Net Worth reports that the A-lister has a net worth of $300 million, while his wife Hailey Bieber has a $200 million fortune.

It's worth noting that Hailey is considering selling her skincare brand Rhode for $1 billion, nearly three years after it was founded in June 2022.

The 28-year-old model, who has been the subject of fan speculation about her marriage to musician Justin Bieber, sells skincare and a limited line of beauty items, including blush and peptide lip treatment.

According to reports, the celebrity has hired J.P. Morgan and global investment bank Moelis to help her uncover potential $1 billion deal alternatives.

Since its launch, Rhode's sales have been projected to reach approximately $200 million. However, for a buyer, a sale may be tough because the brand is exclusively available online - despite promises of the company collaborating with a shop in the future.

One insider stated, 'They're too risk-averse, particularly in this environment. The market is just too uncertain to write that big of a check.'
