Camila Cabello has officially ended her nearly decade-long collaboration with manager Roger Gold, a new report confirms. Gold began guiding Cabello’s career in 2016 after her departure from Fifth Harmony.
Under his stewardship, Cabello achieved several major milestones including two #1 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 chart—”Havana” and “Señorita.” Gold’s influence extended beyond day-to-day management for the artist, he also helped Cabello navigate the complexities of leaving a successful group, launching a solo career, and transitioning between major labels.
Cabello’s latest album C,XOXO is her first with Geffen and Interscope following her exit from Epic Records. Cabello’s decision to part ways with Gold mirrors a broader pattern among high-profile artists who have chosen to part ways with long-serving representatives—especially as their careers evolve.
Taylor Swift famously split from her management team including Big Machine Label Group and manager Roger Allen when seeking greater control over her music and business. Bruno Mars took the same step in splitting from his long-time manager Brandon Creed in 2016, moving his management operations in-house.
Harry Styles also split from Modest Management with the One Direction hiatus; he’s now represented by Full Stop Management. Lady Gaga also parted ways with a long-time manager, Troy Carter, back in 2013 as she shifted her artistic direction and business strategy. But splits don’t always remain permanent, Adele’s separation from Jonathan Dickin’s September Management was short-lived before reconciling.
Such splits between artists and their managers are usually driven by creative ambitions or contractual shifts—sometimes even the desire for a new professional dynamic. Cabello’s split with Roger Gold appears to open a new chapter following her artistic reinvention and label transition. Expect a new chapter from the “Havana” singer while Gold continues managing his other clients under Gold Music Management. Gold is also a Co-Founder of 300 Entertainment, whose roster includes Young Thug, Fetty Wap, Mary J. Blige, and many more.
