Bieber’s Drew House Collapses After Braun Clash & Pastor Power Play
Attention, caffeine junkies—brace yourselves because the inside scoop on Drew House’s sudden demise is steaming hotter than my fourth espresso! Justin Bieber’s cozy fashion line folded almost as fast as this aunt burns through coffee grounds, and the messy fallout? It involves a legendary feud with Scooter Braun and an overbearing pastor swooping in like he owns the joint. According to TMZ, whispers started last spring when Scooter Braun, Bieber’s longtime manager-turned-nemesis after the 2019 catalog battle, demanded tighter financial controls over Drew House’s quirky streetwear empire. Bieber, notoriously laid-back about spreadsheets, bristled at Braun’s suit-and-tie attitude, an insider told People Magazine, noting that every budget meeting felt more like a corporate takeover than a creative pow‑wow.
But wait—there’s more caffeine-fueled chaos. Variety uncovered that Bieber’s spiritual mentor, Pastor X (name withheld for privacy), insisted on approving designs and marketing campaigns, claiming divine inspiration gave the tees their “healing vibes.” Designers reportedly felt stuck between Braun’s bean‑counting edicts and the pastor’s holy dress code. One former art director confided to People Magazine, “I’d get a midnight text asking why our slogan didn’t include a Bible verse. It was bonkers.” Meanwhile, TMZ sources confirm internal memos circulated blaming “external pressures” for shipping delays and retail pullbacks at major retailers like Urban Outfitters and PacSun—yep, that’s where those pastel smiley‑face hoodies vanished.
By July 2024, the tensions detonated. Scooter Braun allegedly sent Bieber an ultimatum: ditch the pastor’s approval chain or lose Braun’s marketing muscle. Bieber, prioritizing his spiritual growth (and sick of budget line items), sided with his faith leader—and Braun walked. Without Braun’s industry contacts, distribution deals evaporated overnight. As Variety reports, sales slumped by 60 percent in Q3, and the once‑buzzed‑about brand began hemorrhaging money.
Despite a last‑ditch attempt to rebrand as “Drew Spirit” with influencer pranks and pop‑up chapels (yes, really), creditors swooped in early 2025. Court filings obtained by TMZ show Bieber personally guaranteed millions in startup loans, exposing him to serious losses. Bieber’s team quietly shuttered the operation late April, citing “creative differences” but insiders say the real casualty was that awkward triangle between Bieber, Braun and a pastor who took “hands‑on approach” too literally.
I’m officially wired, but what a roller coaster! Now I need a decaf just to settle my buzzing thoughts. Stay tuned, because if there’s one thing we know—Justin’s next move won’t be half as chill as this Drew House fallout was wild!
