Bruno Mars Continues to Joke About Alleged Gambling Debts
Fans of Bruno Mars can always count on the singer to keep the jokes flowing, especially when it comes to his rumored gambling debts. The 39-year-old Grammy winner recently surprised fans at Blackpink’s concert in Los Angeles when he joined RosĂ© on stage to perform their hit single, “APT.” Taking to social media to share the moment, Mars couldn’t resist poking fun at the ongoing speculation about his financial troubles.
In an Instagram video posted on July 14, Mars can be seen energetically running around the stage at SoFi Stadium with the caption, “Almost out of debt BehhhhhBehhhhh!!! Preciate You ROSAAAAYYYYYY!!!! 🥳.” This is just the latest instance of Mars addressing the rumors that he owes a significant amount of money to MGM, the company behind his Las Vegas residencies. Reports last year suggested that Mars owed $50 million to MGM and was renewing his Vegas contracts to pay off his gambling debts. However, MGM vehemently denied these claims.
A spokesperson from MGM Grand made a statement emphasizing their positive relationship with Bruno Mars and refuting any debt allegations. The spokesperson stated, “MGM and Bruno’s partnership is longstanding and rooted in mutual respect. Any speculation otherwise is completely false; he has no debt with MGM.” Despite these denials, Mars continues to make light of the situation, joking about his supposed debts during his concerts and even in interviews.
In a recent interview with the Las Vegas Review-Journal, Mars admitted that he finds the rumors entertaining and enjoys the idea of being a Las Vegas lounge singer in debt to the mob. He even made a playful reference to his Spotify milestone, quipping on Instagram, “KEEP STREAMING! I’ll be out of debt in no time.” It’s clear that Mars has a good sense of humor about the situation and isn’t afraid to play along with the ongoing speculation.
Overall, Bruno Mars’ playful attitude towards the rumors surrounding his alleged gambling debts adds an extra layer of humor to his already charismatic persona. While the truth behind these rumors remains unclear, one thing is for certain – Mars will continue to entertain his fans both on and off the stage with his infectious energy and witty banter.
