Over the last weekend, singer-songwriter Billie Eilish’s manager Danny Rukasin took to X to like, repost, and later delete a tweet that read, “Taylor Swift breaking her neck doing everything to prevent other artists from shining.”

The post was originally made by @jdkaknak and also contained an image comparing Taylor Swift’s rumored competition with fellow musicians. It claimed that in June 2017, Katy Perry released a new album following which the Blank Space songstress reportedly “put up entire discog on Spotify.”

Likewise, in January 2023, after SZA was “predicted at #1 for a fourth week,” Swift allegedly dropped “new album versions to block SZA.” The post further claimed that in the wake of Billie Eilish’s new album Hit Me Hard and Soft in May 2024, Taylor allegedly dropped “new digital versions” of her latest album The Tortured Poets Department “to block Billie.”

Danny Rukasin has been a prominent music manager for the last 23 years and has represented artists, producers, and songwriters alike. He began his career in the late 1990s as a trombone player for the pop-punk band The Hippos but later became a full-time manager in the early 2000s.

He is the partner and co-owner of the Los Angeles-based management, publishing, and recording label Best Friends Music, which he co-founded in 2019 and represents artists like Bishop Briggs.

He co-manages Billie Eilish and her collaborator and producer brother Finneas with Brandon Goodman. He first met the brother-sister duo in late 2015.

Danny Rukasin also manages singer-songwriter Role Model and folk/ R&B/ soul duo Oliver Riot. Besides, he is the co-manager of up-and-coming artist Jordan Suaste and represents North America for Australian singer-songwriter and producer flowerkid.
