Wall Street Journal reports that the deal would be the company's biggest deal. This after Blackstone-backed Hipgnosis Songs Capital reportedly bought Timberlake's catalogue earlier this year.

The news has been met with mixed reactions from social media users. Peeps said Bieber should not sell his catalogue is worth more than the money.

@TheMimiReign said:

"He’s too goated to sell it for that little.$200M is cheap."

@DJSCHEME_ wrote:

"Technically he’s selling his % in what he owns for the music. The label owns some and probably usher or whoever brought him to the label owns % on his early tracks im sure."

@HelloitsmrChase noted:

"I’m no expert…but giving up the possibility of collecting money for life from your catalogue for a lump sum is kinda risky. I understand just being in this position is crazy on it’s own, but wouldn’t it be best to own your master & always have an income even when you retire?"
