After being arrested recently, many people discovered that Trung Cúc from BTS unexpectedly has a connection with a hip-hop mogul. This has caused fans of the artists to worry about whether their idols might get dragged into this situation. In mid-September, the entertainment mogul Sincom was arrested at the Park Hotel in New York, bringing to light the dark side of the American music industry. The 54-year-old man, Nam Rabber, holds a billion-dollar business empire with the Bad Boy label, which dominates the music industry and is facing serious allegations outlined in a 14-page indictment in his hip-hop case, pulling numerous A-list names into the mix.
Celebrities such as Beyoncé, Rihanna, Jennifer Lopez, and Queen Latifah were named in the scandal, where the mogul known as Diddy is also linked to several leading figures in the American and European music scene. Recently, K-pop fans have paid attention to the relationship between Diddy and Scooter Braun, the CEO of H America and a key figure in Trung Cúc’s success with the album “Golden.” The president of the label disclosed that Trung Cúc might not have released his solo album without Scooter Brown’s influence, emphasizing that Scooter’s contribution to “Golden” was so significant that if he hadn’t participated, the album’s release would have been very difficult.
K-pop fans are showing concern as Scooter Brown has a very close relationship with Diddy. Scooter is known as a successful manager who has brought many artists to the top, such as Justin Bieber, Ariana Grande, Demi Lovato, Martin Garrix, David Guetta, and Steve Angello. Justin Bieber has also been assisted by Scooter since the early years of his career, leading to many appearances together. In 2016, the prince of hip-hop shared a photo with K. West, Diddy, and Scooter Brown forming a prayer circle backstage at the Prus tour.
When mentioning Scooter Brown, the public will immediately recall the infamous copyright dispute in the American music industry involving singer Taylor Swift. Scooter was the one who caused Taylor to lose the rights to her debut studio album in 2020. Scooter Brown’s conflicts with Taylor Swift and his relationship with Diddy have made fans of the artists from the label anxious.
Many are concerned whether the artists will be drawn into parties or have contact with Diddy through Scooter Brown after the 54-year-old rap mogul was arrested with a lengthy indictment, prompting the public to discuss once again the dark side of the music industry being exposed. Behind the glamorous music videos, billion-dollar albums, and world tours are exchanges that lead artists to desperate situations, organizing depraved parties lasting several days under the influence of drugs known as “freed ups.” The music mogul used his entertainment empire to lure participants, both male and female, including minors, into an inescapable trap.
Documents describe that the parties were often recorded with devices, and two of Diddy’s mansions were searched, leading to the seizure of 1,000 bottles of baby oil, lubricants, banned substances, and guns. The 54-year-old rap mogul is currently detained in a Brooklyn, New York jail, awaiting trial and has been denied bail despite offering a $50 million bond. Diddy’s lawyers have reiterated his innocence, firmly denying the allegations of misconduct and defamation, claiming he has not sexually assaulted anyone, including minors. He hopes to prove his innocence and clear his name in court, where the truth will be revealed through evidence and not speculation, according to his lawyer.
