Bruno Mars Shares Playful Update About $50 Million Debt Rumor

It seems Bruno Mars won’t have to pawn his 24K magic.

Bruno Mars playfully addressed a long-standing rumor about owing a large sum of money to the MGM Casino in Las Vegas while starting his new tour, The Romantic Tour, on April 10th.

During his concert at Allegiant Stadium, Bruno Mars was joined onstage by his Silk Sonic bandmate, Anderson .Paak, for an unexpected performance. In a video shared online, .Paak joked, “I don’t want to make this about me, but thinking about everything it took to get here – all the hard work – really gets to me.”

I couldn’t help but laugh when I heard what Anderson said! Honestly, it was classic Bruno. He basically told Anderson he was sorry to hear about his struggles, then playfully bragged that he’d already taken care of his casino debt ages ago. It was a really lighthearted response, and totally Bruno’s style.

Reports surfaced in 2024 claiming Bruno had accumulated a $50 million gambling debt to MGM, sparking rumors about financial issues.

MGM Resorts International, which has a partnership with him and includes his Pinky Ring lounge, later confirmed that the viral claims were false.

The company expressed its excitement about its partnership with Bruno Mars, calling him one of the most captivating performers worldwide. In a statement to the New York Post in March 2024, they highlighted how his performances at Dolby Live at Park MGM and the new Pinky Ring lounge at Bellagio draw fans to Las Vegas from all over the world.

MGM stated that their relationship with Bruno is strong and based on respect. They confirmed reports suggesting he owes them money are untrue.

Bruno briefly addressed the rumors with a playful comment after performing his song “APT” with Rosé on stage last summer. He posted a clip of the performance on Instagram, jokingly writing, “Almost out of debt BehhhhhBehhhhh!!!”
