“It looks to me like Scooter Braun and his financial backers, 23 Capital, Alex Soros and the Soros family and the Carlyle Group have seen the latest balance sheets and realized that paying $330 MILLION for my music wasn’t exactly a wise choice and they need money. In my opinion just another case of shameless greed in the time of coronavirus. So tasteless, but very transparent,”.

“This is not a new release. All that’s being done is taking existing music that’s been available through YouTube and Target for over a decade and distributing it to all streaming services so fans can enjoy wherever they listen.”
