LAS VEGAS (KSNV) — You may have seen some rumors circulating on social media over the weekend claiming that singer-songwriter Bruno Mars owed MGM nearly $50 million in gambling debt.

MGM Resorts has debunked those claims, confirming with News 3 that the rumors were false.

MGM and Bruno's partnership is longstanding and rooted in mutual respect. Any speculation otherwise is completely false; he has no debt with MGM. Together, we are excited to continue creating unforgettable experiences for our guests," MGM Resorts International said in a statement.
