Justin Bieber hires Kardashians' lawyer Michael Rhodes. Will he take his former manager Scooter Braun to court?

Justin Bieber's rumored return to music has sent the internet ablaze, with fans of the pop sensation eagerly anticipating new releases after a four-year hiatus. However, before launching a full-scale comeback, the singer appears to be prioritizing resolving his outstanding legal matters, suggesting that he wants to tie up loose ends ahead of his return to the music scene. According to the Daily Mail, the singer has hired a new lawyer, Michael Rhodes, who has previously represented the Kardashians, to sort out his legal troubles.

Justin Bieber hires new lawyer amid anticipated comeback

It's been a while since Justin Bieber has released any new music, with his last major project being the 2021 album Justice. The singer's career was further put on hold after he announced in 2022 that he had been diagnosed with Ramsay Hunt syndrome, a condition that forced him to cancel shows of his Justice World Tour.

According to Matthew Belloni's What I'm Hearing newsletter, sources suggest that Bieber may be making a comeback in 2025, driven by a need to revive his career and financial situation. As reported, the global pop sensation is motivated by the fact that he "needs the money and wants to work.".

As the Peaches crooner preps for his eagerly awaited comeback, he has hired high-powered lawyer Michael Rhodes, who has a track record of representing A-list clients such as the members of the Kardashian family and Madonna. The move comes amid his ongoing tussle with his former manager, Scooter Braun, with many speculating that the singer may have planned to fight it in court with him.

The literary crowd that had a hell of a lot to say about Harvey Weinstein before he was convicted has been strangely muted in its response to multiple accusations against Neil Gaiman from young women who'd never met, yet - as with Weinstein - tell remarkably similar stories.

Justin Bieber to sue his managers

Reports last October indicated that Justin intends to sue his past managers over claims that they mismanaged his fortune, and he ended up losing a 'ton of money.' This came on the heels of his alleged feud with his long-time manager Braun, who is also credited with discovering the pop icon when he was just a teen. However, it remains unclear if the talent manager is one of the people he intends to sue.

Justin's long-standing rift with his managers

Justin Bieber and his past managers are locked in a long-standing rift. According to a TMZ report, the Baby singer feels his managers made some pretty terrible decisions that cost him a fortune.

Bieber's been upset about his mismanaged finances for years, and now he's discussing the possibility of suing the managers responsible. Notably, the artist sold his catalogue for an incredible $200 million in 2023; however, he reportedly still owes AEG a sizeable amount following the cancellation of the Justice World Tour.
