Bruno Mars Jokingly Addresses $50M Gambling Debt Rumor in IG Post
Bruno Mars recently responded to the persistent rumor of his supposed $50 million gambling debt with a lighthearted Instagram post

Bruno Mars recently addressed the long-standing rumor regarding his alleged $50 million gambling debt in a playful manner using an Instagram post meant to celebrate his fresh Spotify success.
“KEEP STREAMING. I’ll Be Out of Debt in No Time”
The 39-year-old Grammy-winning artist shared a post highlighting his achievement as the first artist to reach 150 million monthly listeners on the platform.
Accompanied by a dancing emoji, Mars wrote, “KEEP STREAMING. I’ll be out of debt in no time,” humorously referencing the ongoing speculation surrounding his finances.
This post came shortly before Mars’ residency extension with MGM Resorts.
As reported by Billboard, the “Locked Out of Heaven” singer inked a contract for seven additional shows at Park MGM Las Vegas, set for late May and early June 2025.
Tickets for these performances will go on sale later this week.
Mars has been in the spotlight lately, especially with the success of his collaborations. His duet with Lady Gaga, “Die With A Smile,” topped the Billboard Hot 100 for four consecutive weeks.
Another iconic collaboration with BLACKPINK’s ROSÉ for “APT.” also made a lot of waves, reaching the third spot on the Billboard chart and marking a historic achievement for K-pop.
MGM Resorts: “Any Speculation Otherwise Is Completely False”
The rumors about Mars’ gambling debt first surfaced in March 2024 when News Nation reported that he allegedly owed millions to MGM Resorts, claiming his debt had reached as high as $50 million.
According to an unnamed Las Vegas source, Mars was so deeply in debt to the casino that MGM “basically” owed him.
The rumors were related to his particularly lucrative MGM deal, which was reportedly earning him $90 million per year.
The same source also claimed that Mars’ enormous debt was deducted from his earnings after taxes and that the artist was making $1.5 million per night from his residency performances.
However, MGM Resorts quickly responded, denying these claims. A representative told TMZ that Mars did not have a $50 million debt with the casino, emphasizing the positive, ongoing relationship between the two parties.
“We’re proud of our relationship with Bruno Mars,” the rep said. “Any speculation otherwise is completely false.”
They also mentioned the opening of The Pinky Ring lounge at Bellagio, a venue designed to embody the essence of contemporary Vegas glamour, further solidifying the partnership between Mars and MGM.
