Adam Leber: Celebs Rumors

Jazz Tangcay Artisans EditorOn YouTube, the Emmy-nominated song from HBO’s “Euphoria” by the show’s star and producer Zendaya and composer Labrinth “I’m Tired” has amassed over 17 million views. On Spotify, its streaming tally sits at 81 million, and on TikTok, scores of covers live on the platform. It’s a testament to the impact of the show’s music, and when it came time to score and soundtrack its second season, Labrinth looked to the fans and asked what they wanted to hear.

The Toronto Film Festival said Friday that Lil Nas X: Long Live Montero, a documentary shot during over the course of 60 days of the Grammy-winning rapper’s first global concert tour, will make its world premiere next month at the fest.

Shirley Halperin Executive Editor, MusicThe saga of The Kid Laroi’s management continues. The Australian singer has re-signed with Scooter Braun for management, a month after deciding to exit Adam Leber’s Rebel Management, Variety has confirmed.Braun’s SB Projects roster includes Justin Bieber, Ariana Grande, Demi Lovato, J Balvin, Dan + Shay and Tori Kelly, among others.Laroi first signed with Braun in June 2021, then left three months later due to, what Billboard described as “significant problems” with the firm — namely that Braun himself was not involved enough in making career decisions.According to a source, Laroi and his mother, Sloane Howard, recently re-approached Braun and signed a management agreement about a week ago with the assurance that Braun will be directly involved in overseeing all aspects of the artist’s career. Braun then flew to Australia to see Kid Laroi at his May 26 show at Sydney’s Qudos Bank Arena, the first of seven concerts in the area — and a sell-out with 42,000 tickets sold.

Shirley Ju The Kid Laroi’s “Stay,” his monster hit with Justin Bieber, is creeping up on 1 billion on-demand streams, per data from Luminate, with its official music video racking 546 million views on YouTube and counting. To say that Laroi has officially arrived would be an understatement.At only 18 years old, the Australian singer-songwriter has accomplished what many musicians aspire to inin a lifetime: signed to Columbia Records, whose roster includes Adele, Bruce Springsteen and Harry Styles, he’s been nominated for a Grammy, performed on “Saturday Night Live” (alongside Miley Cyrus for his breakout hit, “Without You”) and collaborated with his idol, the late Juice WRLD.Laroi’s most recent release, “Thousand Miles,” written about his current girlfriend before they started dating, made another big splash when it debuted in April, thanks in large part to a TikTok promoting the record, which featured images of Laroi’s former manager Scooter Braun, implying that Braun was a “mistake.” (Braun was in on the hoax, he later revealed; and Laroi has since parted with his most recent representative, Adam Leber.) Variety spoke with Laroi in Culver City, Calif., where he was performing virtually for Kid Cudi’s Encore app.

The Kid Laroi is switching up his management team again. Some seven months after signing with Adam Leber’s Rebel Management, the Australian singer has exited the firm, sources confirm to Variety.

Is there beef between The Kid LAROI and his former manager Scooter Braun?! It seems like it, at least according to the singer’s new TikTok video!

The Kid LAROI has referenced his former manager, Scooter Braun, in a new TikTok promoting his forthcoming single, ‘Thousand Miles’.The rapper – real name Charlton Howard – has posted frequent TikTok teasers of the single, which is set to arrive April 22, throughout the week. Now, in a new video posted April 13, Howard shared another snippet from the single, asking fans to share their “last mistake” set to that audio.For his own example of his last mistake, set to the refrain, “Here goes another mistake I know I’m gon’ make, I know I’m gon’ make tonight“, Howard cycled through photos of Braun.4/22 ♬ THOUSAND MILES – kid laroi Howard first started working with Braun and SB Projects last year, just ahead of the release of ‘Stay’, his collaborative single with Justin Bieber.

The Kid Laroi’s fans are all abuzz after the Australian rap phenom took to TikTok on Wednesday, April 13 with a brief video asking fans to “show me ur last mistake.”

In a recent TikTok, The Kid LAROI appeared to throw a jab at his former manager, Scooter Braun, while promoting his latest song “Thousand Miles” — perhaps also popping off a new viral trend in the process. The short video posted April 13 features The Kid’s ostensible new single, with the refrain, “Here goes another mistake I know I’m gon’ make, I know I’m gon’ make tonight,” as he bops his head along to the beat. The singer asked fans to share their “last mistake” while using the sound in the clip, then cutting to numerous photos of Scooter for some, well, not-so-subtle shade.

Not mincing his words. The Kid Laroi has something to say about his former manager, Scooter Braun, and he isn’t holding back.
