Recently, Rose (Blackpink) and Bruno Mars had an explosive performance at Blackpink's concert at SoFi Stadium ( Los Angeles, USA), within the framework of the Kpop girl group's Deadline world tour.
Rose and Bruno Mars performed the hit song APT. live together for the first time in front of the audience, after 9 months of the songs release. The live performances of APT. by the two artists caused a storm on social networks and received huge interactions.
After the show, Rose posted a series of photos including moments taken with Bruno Mars on stage and behind the scenes. The female singer wrote a witty status line: "Look at me and this male god". Bruno also responded with an agreed comment: "What about male spirituality? Prepare.
After that, the American male artist posted a short video while he was running on stage, with the content: "I'm about to pay off all the debt, thank you very much, Rose".
Bruno Mars' status directly refers to the rumor that he had to bear a gambling debt of more than 50 million USD that spread last year. NewsNation reported that Bruno Mars signed a 9-year performance contract at the MGM Resorts International resort and resort in Las Vegas (USA) to pay off his debt.
The news agency also revealed that the MGM contract signed with Bruno Mars is worth $90 million/year, but the male singer uses most of this money to pay off debts, pay taxes and continue gambling.
Although Bruno Mars' representatives and MGM have denied the information that the male artist is in debt for gambling, many people still believe this.
Bruno Mars has repeatedly used humorous ways to respond to gambling debt rumors, and his thanks to Rose are among them.
Fans joked that Bruno thanked the Blackpink singer for it, which was reasonable, because the song APT. he collaborated with Rose became a global hit right after its release.
KBS Joy's "20th Century Hit Song" program once said that Rose had a salary of 9.7 million USD after only 2 weeks of releasing the song "APT." online. Therefore, Bruno Mars can also receive a "huge" revenue from the copyright and streaming on fixed music platforms of this song.
According to the International Federation of Record Industry (IFPI), APT. is ranked 17th in the list of 20 best-selling songs globally in 2024, after less than 3 months of release.
APT. has now surpassed 1.8 billion streams on Spotify and 1.8 billion views on YouTube.
The male artist has won 16 Grammy awards and Rose still maintains a close relationship. Last year, Bruno attended the 2024 MAMA awards ceremony with Rose.
Rose also thanked her senior for giving her many useful tips and guidance, helping her in the process of making the album "rosie".
