Bruno Mars was never in debt. Any claim about the singer owing money to anyone have been debunked by the casino’s management themselves.
MGM Resorts sided with Bruno Mars Monday after the singer was allegedly called indebted to the casino.
A report from NewsNation last week claimed that the Grammy winner was knee deep in gambling debt that had built up to $50 million at MGM.
The news was cited through an anonymous source close to the matter by the outlet, and claimed that Mars allegedly earned $90 million annually, through his residencies at MGM but was exhausting a large amount of that profit to get off his gambling debt.
“[He will] only make $1.5 million per night after taxes,” the report claimed. (“MGM) basically own him,” they added.
Now, according to Variety, a rep for MGM Resorts International debunks all the claims and calls them “completely false” confirming that Mars has “no debt with MGM.”
“We’re proud of our relationship with Bruno Mars, one of the world’s most thrilling and dynamic performers,” they wrote in a statement in light of the multi-year partnership the singer has with MGM Resorts.
Mars has also been performing for Las Vegas residencies since 2016.
They added, “From his shows at Dolby Live at Park MGM to the new Pinky Ring lounge at Bellagio, Bruno’s brand of entertainment attracts visitors from around the globe. MGM and Bruno’s partnership is longstanding and rooted in mutual respect.
Any speculation otherwise is completely false; he has no debt with MGM. Together, we are excited to continue creating unforgettable experiences for our guests.”
