Bruno Mars continues to embrace the Internet's enduring joke about his purported gambling debt, which has supposedly spiraled wildly out of control. Rumors surrounding the "Talking to The Moon" crooner claimed he amassed a staggering $50 million in gambling debts during his Las Vegas residency. Instead of refuting these speculations, the singer encouraged his fans to keep streaming his music, quipping that it would help him "climb out of debt in the blink of an eye."
Mars recently provided an update after making a delightful surprise appearance at BLACKPINK's Rose's DEADLINE concert in Los Angeles. In an Instagram video, Mars once again poked fun at the situation with characteristic playfulness. Captioning the post with a lighthearted jab about his debt rumors, he wrote, "Almost debt-free, BehhhhBehhhh!!! Thank you, ROSAAAAYYYYYY!!!! [party emoji]."
Previously, a source told NewsNation that Park MGM in Las Vegas had "practically adopted" Mars following the alleged accumulation of his $50 million gambling debt. However, MGM swiftly refuted the claim, celebrating its partnership with the 16-time Grammy Award winner.
This isn't the first time Mars has lightened the mood about these allegations. Earlier in January, as he marked a historic milestone as "the first artist to reach 150 million monthly listeners on Spotify," he posted on social media, urging fans, "Keep streaming! I’ll be debt-free in no time!"
Despite the ongoing chatter about his alleged debt, Mars is set to captivate audiences at Dolby Live at Park MGM on select dates in August and September 2025.
