HOT: Scooter Braun still has Ariana Grande locked into a contract with him

Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Scooter Braun still has Ariana Grande locked into a contract with him.

As we previously reported, the controversial talent manager’s top artists all started jumping ship earlier this year — artists like Demi Lovato, Idina Menzel, and Justin Bieber were all part of the HYBE CEO’s departures. But unfortunately for the artists who want to leave, it hasn’t been as simple as shaking hands and walking away!

‘She continues to be contractually bound to Scooter as there are several long term contracts still in place.

‘If Ariana were to release a new album tomorrow, she would still be obligated to pay Scooter in addition to Brandon. Nothing has changed there.’

However, it seems that Grande is doing the best she can not to collaborate with Braun, with a second source insisting: ‘She is not working with Scooter.’

In fact, the second insider said that there are currently ‘legal proceedings pending’ over the contract ending, revealing: ‘There are legal proceedings pending over what, if anything, each party is entitled to as a result of the contract ending.’

In fact, last weekend it was even revealed she signed on to Brandon Creed‘s new label Good World Management! A big F.U. since the music exec who created the competing label is Scooter’s friend. But even with her new manager, she isn’t able to completely cut ties with the 42-year-old legally, according to a source for DailyMail.com on Thursday. The insider explained:

“Although Ariana has indeed found new music management, she has not dropped or cut ties with Scooter because she is tied in contractually. She continues to be contractually bound to Scooter as there are several long term contracts still in place. If Ariana were to release a new album tomorrow, she would still be obligated to pay Scooter in addition to Brandon. Nothing has changed there.”
