He talked about his own failings, noting that he couldn't give her the strong support she needed as her work grew.

He said that he was not as good at handling artists as he was at one point. He said that Ariana Grande had told him this herself, saying he was not the same boss as he used to be. He agreed that she was right, and others saw it too.

He knew that a boss's main job is to always be there for the artist, to meet their changing needs and to help them get better.

What do the netizens say?

As Braun made this comment, fans flooded social media with comments:

"he didn’t need to admit this for us to know this btw," a user commented.

"Accountability hits hardest when it’s overdue. Braun owning up shows growth-but for Ariana, it came after the silence hurt,” another netizen expressed.

"Bro made billions from them and didnt care that much in the end," a user wrote.
