Bruno Mars has joked about his rumoured debt as her performed with Blackpink’s Rosé in Los Angeles.
Bruno, 39, delighted fans on July 13 as he made a surprise appearance on stage during Blackpink’s Deadline World Tour Show.
The singer, real name Peter Gene Hernandez, jumped onstage to perform with band member Rosé to perform their hit song APT.
Celebrating the moment on social media, Bruno shared a clip of himself bounding across the stage as confetti fell from the ceiling.
The star cheekily captioned the post: ‘Almost out of debt BehhhhhBehhhhh!!! Preciate You ROSAAAAYYYYYY!!!! 🥳’
Fans loved the joke from the artist and laughed along with his cheeky quip.
‘ALMOST OUT OF DEBT lmaoooo 😭😭,’ clarinha_lximenes. ‘BRUNO YOUR SENSE OF HUMOR IS ICONIC ✨️✨️’
The joke was a hilarious callback to the rumours from 2023 that the singer was in millions of pounds of debt, after gambling $50million (£37.4m) away at MGM Casinos.
It was then alleged that the singer’s long-term performance partnership, which has been in place with the company since 2016, was put in place to offset the money the star owed.
MGM Resorts International denied the claims, stating: ‘MGM and Bruno’s partnership is longstanding and rooted in mutual respect.’
The group continued in a statement in March 2024 to E! News: ‘Any speculation otherwise is completely false; he has no debt with MGM.
‘We’re proud of our relationship with Bruno Mars, one of the world’s most thrilling and dynamic performers. Together, we are excited to continue creating unforgettable experiences for our guests.’
The song APT has been a huge hit for Bruno and Rosé, with nearly two billion streams on YouTube and 1.8billion streams on Spotify.
