Bruno Mars's alleged $50 Million debt report
These clarifications emerged in response to rumors circulating about MGM potentially exerting control over Bruno due to an alleged gambling debt amounting to tens of millions. The source told News Nation about Bruno Mar's debt that, “He owed millions to the MGM.”

Although Bruno has not directly addressed these rumors, MGM emphasized the integrity of their relationship with him and rejected any insinuations of impropriety. It is noteworthy that Bruno is scheduled to undertake a residency at the resort in the near future.
While Bruno has previously acknowledged his fondness for poker before his rise to musical stardom, using it to supplement his income and cover rent in Los Angeles, MGM assured that they have no intentions of pressuring him regarding any purported debts. They underscored their positive working rapport with Bruno and expressed eagerness for forthcoming collaborations.
