Both Bieber and Hipgnosis have yet to comment publicly on the reported deal.

It is normally uncommon for companies to purchase catalogues from newer artists, but Hipgnosis has made a habit of the unconventional practice. In recent years, the company purchased music rights for Justin Timberlake, Jack Antonoff, Mark Ronson and Timbaland.

Despite the potential payout, it hasn’t been an easy year for Bieber.

In June, the singer postponed part of his Justice World Tour after he was diagnosed with Ramsay Hunt syndrome, which left half of his face temporarily paralyzed. The tour was originally slated for 2020 but had to be delayed several times due to COVID-19 and Bieber’s health.

It’s unclear if Bieber’s current health status has anything to do with this potential deal.
