Lil Twist Says That Scooter Braun Planted Stories About Him To “Protect” Justin Bieber

Business Insider did a deep investigation into manager supreme Scooter Braun who manages Justin Bieber, Ariana Grande, and Demi Lovato. Insider looked into and scrutinized and I think that his arch-nemesis, Taylor Swift, will be pleased with the findings because it seems like the consensus is: Scooter sucks. He’s been accused of planting stories about Lil Twist, Justin’s former friend who has alleged in the past that Scooter convinced him to take the fall for some drug charges. And another source says that Scooter “personifies hypocrisy.” Did Taylor Swift sponsor this investigation? Or did BI just have the time on their hands?

Lil Twist spoke to Insider about all the shit that Scooter pulled on him, and Insider found stories that back his claims that Scooter planted stories about him. One story they cited from 2013 of TMZ’s claimed “Bieb’s people are blaming his Black friend Lil Twist for his bad behavior.” And apparently, it was found that Scooter also had convinced TMZ founder and Hellspawn, Harvey Levin, to not publish a video of Justin dropping an N-word. But it was all in the name of protecting Bieb’s squeaky image, via Vulture:

Twist told Insider that Braun planted negative coverage of him during that time “to protect Justin… He did his job, but he did it wrong, in ways of hurting other people to get things done,” Twist told Insider.

Braun’s response? His attorney, the litigious Hollywood lawyer Marty Singer, sent 13 negative stories about Twist when asked about the allegation, Insider reported, calling the rapper a “demonstrably unreliable source.”

…Elsewhere in the story, anonymous sources spoke about Braun’s work and reputation in Hollywood. “He personifies hypocrisy at the highest level,” one source said, in reference to the nice-guy image the manager tries to cultivate.

A person who worked with Braun added, “People with the most severe addiction problem will never understand just how absurdly powerful an addiction to fame and power is. It’s the single most wicked, evil, and disastrous addiction you can think of.”

And one source specifically had thoughts on the Kid Laroi leaving Braun’s management last year: “It’s embarrassing. You don’t lose Kid Laroi.”

“You don’t lose Kid Laroi,” has the same energy as “September is the January in fashion,”–don’t ask me why.

Anna Silman, the writer of Insider’s Scooter Braun exposé says that Marty Singer accused her of being a Swiftie!

this was one of the hardest stories i’ve ever reported. many were afraid to go on the record, citing braun’s rep for litigiousness. for months insider received threatening letters from braun's lawyer marty singer — including one claiming i had “deep ties” to the taylor swift camp pic.twitter.com/IlHVOMw7Mh

Can’t wait for Marty Singer to point out that if you replace one “t” with an “f” in Lil Twist’s name, and then rearrange the letters, it spells: “SWIFT,” which obviously means that Lil Twist is a Swiftie agent that she planted to take Scooter down! Taylor Swift, playing the long game!
