Usher has reportedly now hired the manager who first introduced him to Justin Bieber - Scooter Braun.
Signing on to take charge of the singer's career, he's added him to a huge roster of A-listers that includes amongst the Biebs, Tori Kelly, Carly Rae Jepsen and Kanye West.
Asked to comment on the news at the 73rd annual Cannes Lions on Tuesday, June 21, Usher said only: "I've always been in the Scooter family. We actually have worked together on artists, and worked together in business. So it's just a continuum."
He also recently spoke about upcoming eighth studio album 'Flawed', commenting: "You know, I like to release music the way I feel it, as opposed to having a date. The idea of dates, boxes, categories are very scary for me.
"I find the inspiration every time I find a word: what is 'flawed'? It's something that is not perfect. It's a future relic of some sorts, to grow and blossom and gain texture. But it is those things, those tumultuous occurences and things that happen in your life that define what it is, and in our country and us as people. All of these things are standards, and I became the inspiration. Now I can't tell you yet at the end what it's gonna be, but right now it's 'Flawed'."
