Justin Bieber’s $31M Braun Debt Tied to Rhode Sale
- Justin Bieber’s $31M debt to Scooter Braun’s HYBE hinges on Rhode’s $1B sale funding.
- Hailey’s rep insists her brand success is unrelated to Justin’s finances.
- Legal fees and spending left Justin’s $200M catalog sale insufficient for the debt.
- The settlement grants Justin full ownership of his music masters.
Justin Bieber and Scooter Braun’s long-running financial dispute has taken a surprising turn. New reports indicate that the singer’s $31 million debt payment will be delayed, thanks to a special clause linked to his wife Hailey Bieber’s lucrative beauty brand sale.
Although the settlement was agreed upon this month, the Peaches singer won’t pay Braun until Rhode’s $1 billion deal with e.l.f. Cosmetics is finalized. This loophole helps keep Justin’s finances and his marriage secure.
TMZ revealed an important detail in the settlement: Justin is only required to pay Braun’s former company, HYBE, after he gets his $50 million share from Rhode’s sale. The beauty brand, started by Hailey in 2022, was sold in May, but the funds have not been received yet.
A source familiar with the transaction said, “Probably in a month or two,” which gives Justin some breathing space. However, Hailey’s team quickly emphasized that her success is unrelated to Justin’s debts, stating,
Why Justin’s $200 Million Music Rights Sale Didn’t Solve the Debt Issue“The historic sale of Rhode is a huge accomplishment for Hailey and is completely separate from her husband and his business affairs.”
Fans may wonder why the singer’s $200 million music rights sale in 2023 didn’t take care of the debt. Insiders say that taxes, legal expenses, and significant spending have drained the funds. One source even mentioned that Justin once had trouble getting a credit card due to his unpredictable spending.
Despite this, his representative denies any financial trouble, describing such claims as
“an unflattering portrait… which bears no resemblance to reality.”
The settlement also secured Justin’s music masters, which is a significant win for his artistic control.

Days after the settlement, Braun publicly praised Justin’s new album Swag, calling it
“the most authentically Justin Bieber album to date.”
Fans speculated that this praise might be more about appearances than genuine support, especially after Hailey shared a side-eye selfie with Mariah Carey’s “Obsessed” playing in the background a seeming jab.
Braun, who hasn’t benefited from the HYBE deal, acknowledged that their relationship has changed but stated that he respects Justin’s independence.
