With Bieber cutting ties with numerous long-term collaborators, attention has turned to estate manager Caldas, who has also crewed for Eric Clapton and Janelle Monáe

Pop singer Justin Bieber, who has been raising concerns among fans for his unusual behaviour lately, is re-evaluating the company he keeps. After drug-use allegations surfaced – and were denied shortly before Bieber posted social media photos and videos of himself apparently smoking marijuana – TMZ reported, last month, that the new dad had been ending “several close friendships and business relationships that no longer served him”.

Now, The Sun has revealed that the “Love Yourself” crooner’s assistant and estate manager, Mateo Caldas, who also worked for Bieber’s wife Hailey, has apparently quit. However, per TMZ, Caldas was never employed as a personal assistant by Bieber, but rather managed his Los Angeles estate … and was fired by the double Grammy winner five years ago. Bieber has also cut connections with other long-time collaborators, including manager Scooter Braun and Ryan Good, co-founder of his clothing line Drew House, per the Daily Mail.
