<p>The "Treasure" singer made light of rumors that he accumulated more than $50 million in gambling debt during his Las Vegas residency</p>
<p>MGM Resorts International denied the allegations, praising its working relationship with the star</p>
<p>Bruno Mars is making money and having a bit of fun with the rumor mill.</p>
<p>The "24K Magic" singer, 39, surprised fans at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles on Sunday, July 13, when he joined Rosé onstage to perform their hit "APT." during BLACKPINK's DEADLINE World Tour.</p>
<p>The day after the show, Mars showed off his sense of humor in an Instagram post, writing, "Almost out of debt BehhhhhBehhhhh!!! Preciate You ROSAAAAYYYYYY!!!! 🥳."</p>
<p>His post, which featured a video of him smiling while running onstage as confetti fell, appeared to be a reference to a March 2024 NewsNation report where a source told the outlet that MGM Resorts "basically own[ed]" Mars after he allegedly racked up over $50 million in gambling debt during his residency at Park MGM in Las Vegas.</p>
<p>MGM Resorts International was quick to refute the allegations, praising its partnership with the "Treasure" hitmaker.</p>
<p>"We're proud of our relationship with Bruno Mars, one of the world's most thrilling and dynamic performers. 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," they said in a statement to PEOPLE.</p>
<p>"MGM and Bruno's partnership is longstanding and rooted in mutual respect. Any speculation otherwise is completely false; he has no debt with MGM," the statement continued. "Together, we are excited to continue creating unforgettable experiences for our guests."</p>

<p>Monday's social media post isn't the first time the 16-time Grammy winner has made light of the claim.</p>
<p>In late January, the "Leave the Door Open" singer celebrated a music milestone while making mention of the ordeal. He reposted Spotify's announcement that he "became the first artist to reach 150 million monthly listeners in Spotify history."</p>
<p>"Keep streaming! I'll be out of debt in no time!" he wrote alongside the post.</p>
<p>Mars has mostly let MGM Resorts International do the talking when it came to the claims that he was in debt with the company.</p>

<p>During an interview with the Las Vegas Review-Journal last June, he was asked if he wanted to address the gambling rumors that had been circulating on the internet.</p>
<p>"Absolutely not! I love the lore that I am a Las Vegas lounge singer in debt to the mob. I can work with that," Mars said.</p>
<p>His residency was initially set to wrap in August 2023 before he added five additional shows in December of that year, followed by five more in February 2024.</p>
<p>Mars is still set to perform at Dolby Live at Park MGM on select dates in August and September 2025.</p>
