The “Treasure” singer, 39, shared an Instagram clip from his onstage appearance the day after and wrote, “Almost out of debt BehhhhhBehhhhh!!! Preciate You ROSAAAAYYYYYY!!!! 🥳.”
Mars’ video showed him running on the stage at SoFi Stadium as confetti fell. He joined Rosé to sing the K-Pop girl group’s hit “APT” on their DEADLINE World Tour.
“THE CAPTION LMAO🤣🤣🤣🤣,” one fan wrote in the comments section.
“I can’t with the caption😂😂😂,” another fan said.
“ALMOST OUT OF DEBT ☠️,” a third follower added.
In March 2024, a source alleged to NewsNation that Mars owed millions in gambling debt to MGM Resorts. The Grammy winner has had a residency at Park MGM in Las Vegas since 2016.
“[MGM] basically own him,” the insider claimed.
However, MGM Resorts quickly denied the allegations about Mars.
“We’re proud of our relationship with Bruno Mars, one of the world’s most thrilling and dynamic performer,” the hospitality empire said in a statement to The Post.
“MGM and Bruno’s partnership is longstanding and rooted in mutual respect. Any speculation otherwise is completely false; he has no debt with MGM,” the statement continued. “Together, we are excited to continue creating unforgettable experiences for our guests.”
Mars previously made light of the gambling debt allegation during a major career milestone in January.
After Mars “became the first artist to reach 150 million monthly listeners in Spotify history,” he reposted the announcement and wrote, “Keep streaming! I’ll be out of debt in no time!”
He was also asked if he wanted to speak on the gambling rumors during an interview with the Las Vegas Review-Journal last summer.
“Absolutely not! I love the lore that I am a Las Vegas lounge singer in debt to the mob. I can work with that,” Mars stated.
Mars’ successful Vegas residency was supposed to end in August 2023 before he kept adding more shows.
The NewsNation report claimed he makes $90 million ($1.5 million a night) in his current deal with MGM.
Mars has upcoming performances slated at Dolby Live at Park MGM up to Sept. 6.
