AceShowbiz - Despite recent allegations, TMZ has confirmed through MGM Resorts International that singer Bruno Mars has no outstanding gambling debt with the casino giant. MGM vehemently denies the claim that Mars owes them $50 million.
Despite his previous gambling habits, MGM insists that Mars is in good standing with the resort. The casino is confident in their continued partnership with the Grammy-winning artist, whose residency at the resort is set to begin soon.
"We're proud of our relationship with Bruno Mars, one of the world's most thrilling and dynamic performers," an MGM Resorts spokesperson said. "Any speculation otherwise is completely false; he has no debt with MGM. Together, we are excited to continue creating unforgettable experiences for our guests."
The rumors circulated after a report claimed that MGM held a massive gambling bill over Mars's head. However, MGM has swiftly come to Mars's defense, praising their longstanding partnership and expressing eagerness for future collaborations.
While Mars has not publicly addressed the allegations, he has acknowledged his past interest in gambling. In a 2016 "Carpool Karaoke" interview with James Corden, Mars revealed that he used to play poker to pay his rent in Los Angeles.
