Is Bruno Mars in huge debt because of gambling?
The News Nation website claims that the successful singer has accumulated a heavy debt of up to about 50 million dollars to the MGM casino in Las Vegas.
Mars, who also appeared in Israel this year, has been appearing in the casino complex for the past nine years and previously talked about his love for gambling.
The report, to which the musician has yet to respond, is based on an anonymous source, who claimed: "He owes MGM millions. In fact, he belongs to them."
According to reports, Mars earns about $90 million annually according to his contract with the complex, but the source claimed that after taxes and offsetting debts and expenses - he doesn't have much left.
Mars is one of the biggest pop stars of the last generation.
He is behind huge hits like "Uptown Funk", "Just the Way You Are", "Grenade", and "The Lazy Song" and was also involved in the songs "Nothin' on You" by BoB and "Billionaire" by Travy McCoy.
In recent years he has been part of the duo Silk Sonic, together with rapper Anderson Paak.
He performed in Israel on October 4, 2023, and was supposed to give another performance here on October 7 - but it was canceled due to the massacre and the war that broke out in its wake.
Although he was in Israel on the day of the massacre and was supposed to appear, until now he has not commented on the events of Black Saturday.
