Braun went on to outline the accomplishments of the 18-year-old singer who released his third album "Believe" in 2012 along with a sold out tour.
"The kid delivered. Huge successful album, sold out tour, and won people over," Braun tweeted. "...This time he deserved to be recognized and I don't really have any kind, nice, positive things to say about a decision I don't agree with."
Some fans of the singer took to Twitter to agree with his manager.
"He deserved it more than anyone," one fan tweeted. "I don't know any artist who works so hard like he does every single day!"
Another fan agreed with Braun, but expressed their pride in Bieber's accomplishments.
"Justin did the best he could and he made it. If the Grammy board doesn't see it then screw it," the fan tweeted Braun. "We've got more chances."
After his rant, Bieber's manager made sure to tweet a positive message to the singer's fans.
"To his fans...looks like we get to stay the underdog a little longer. #BRINGIT," Braun tweeted. "I got a lot more I can say but for now....I'm gonna leave it at that. Congrats to all those who got nominated including our own CRJ."
