Kanye West reportedly has a new manager and it’s not mother-in-law Kris Jenner!
Billboard reported that Kanye is now a client of Justin Bieber’s manager Scooter Braun. Braun has been partially responsible for the Bieber’s success and stardom throughout the years and Kanye wants a piece of the pie! The Billboard report is saying that though there is no formal agreement on the table, Kanye is being consulted by Braun who has helped Bieber land millions of dollars from marketing campaigns and sponsorships.
Kanye is nearing 40 and is probably wanting a new, young perspective on his career and brand and Braun is just the guy for it. Braun,34, is four years younger than Kanye with loads of experience. Sources say that Kanye’s longtime manager Iggy Zivkovic is going anywhere though. Instead Ye will have two managers working together to handle his brand.
It doesn’t look like Kanye is gonna let wife Kim Kardashian take the reins and lead the family empire any time soon. Is this new manager a good look for Yeezy or is it about time for him to take a back seat?
