"I thought he would die," said Justin Bieber's manager Scooter Braun in an interview on Van Lathan's The Red Pill podcast.
Braun opened up about how he managed Justin during his low phase in life. Braun was worried about the singer's life as he lived a very unhealthy lifestyle. Braun went onto say that Justin had hit rock bottom but gave him credit for turning his life around despite all his troubles.
"There was a time where I would go to sleep almost every night when he had money to fly away from me, and I was worried every night that I was gonna lose him," Scooter revealed in the interview. "There was the time where I was telling him he's not allowed to work. He used to yell and scream at me. He wanted to put music out, he wanted to tour, but I thought if he did that, he would die. I just refused."
"I didn't want him to work because I wanted him to get healthy. I thought he was going to die…thought he was going to go to sleep one night and have so much crap in his system that he would not wake up the next morning. I'd try to monitor him from a distance and would fly after him at times."
Braun got candid during the interview and said how he tried to help the 'Baby' singer through his tough times by even attending alcoholics anonymous meetings. But that did not help much. He goes on to say that many people give him the credit for making Justin a better man. But Braun does not take credits for it, he said Justin deserves all the credit for making hard decisions and changing his life.
Well, everything turned out for the best. The 'Love Yourself" singer is happily engaged to the love of his life - Hailey Baldwin.
