Bruno Mars might be in some hot water with MGM.

 

The “24K Magic” singer announced a multi-year residency with MGM Resorts International in 2016, performing at the hospitality giant’s Park MGM resort in Las Vegas.

 

However, the relationship between the 38-year-old and the hospitality giant may have gone sour as the singer’s gambling has allegedly racked up large debts at the poker tables in Las Vegas, according to NewsNation.

 

“He owed millions to the MGM,” a Vegas insider told the outlet. 

 

Another source added that the debt is as high as $50 million.

 

“[MGM] basically own him. He makes $90 million a year off of the deal he did with the casino, but then he has to pay back his debt,” added the insider, claiming that the singer only makes $1.5 million per night after taxes.

Makes sense why he’s not been eager to make an album. He’s clearly got other things on his mind.

First the coke and now this

[Aston Martin]

Gambling addiction is obviously no joke. I hope he and every one else dealing with it can get appropriate help before they’re completely financially ruined 

 

Spoiler

Though if he wants to send a few thousand my way first, I won’t turn it down

[M.R.]

[KatyPrismSpirit]

I understand getting addicted to crack but gambling? Dayum

[Katamari]

A stadium tour would fix that tbh

[Rogue]

[Armani?]

Wow that's sad to hear. His show does really well and he could do the Sphere and make more. But if this is true MGM will keep him tied up.

[naval23]

[Johnny Jacobs]

Sid he seriously spent hundreds of millions like that? 

 

[Elusive Chanteuse]

Sad. Hopefully this leads to more interesting music

[Tovitov]

The title is sending me 

 

edit: That's not to make light of gambling addiction, just the absurdity of someone "debuting" something horrific and debilitating as a positive development is humorous.

The worse thing is that for paying his debt he has to continue performing in Vegas and that way he is never going to heal…

When you’re $50m in debt with sky high interest, yes. Everything is relative.
