Bruno Mars allegedly owes MGM Resorts $50 million in gambling money
It was previously reported by an unnamed source that Bruno Mars owed millions to MGM Resorts, claiming that the company essentially owned him.
However, MGM Resorts firmly denied these allegations, affirming their positive and mutually beneficial relationship with the renowned singer.
Bruno Mars, known for hits like "Just the Way You Are" and "Locked Out of Heaven," has been performing a residency at the iconic hotel for nine years.
His current deal with MGM is reported to earn him $90 million, with each performance night netting him $1.5 million.
While Bruno Mars is recognized for his musical talents, he has also revealed in the past that he used to play poker to pay his rent before his music career took off.
However, MGM Resorts' response makes it clear that there are no outstanding gambling debts owed by the artist.

Bruno can buy his own casino, one user said.
No one read the article. MGM says he has no debt with them. MGM pays him 90 mil per year for his partnership, the second replied.
I honestly thought it was a PR stunt to get his name out there again and remind people of his residency which was extended through this summer. Good chance it's just sensationalism too I guess, the third explained.
