Rosé Blackpink and Bruno Mars appeared and performed the song "APT." at the Grammy Awards ceremony 1. 2. 2026 (local time). However, "APT." did not win in the nominated categories. This caused many speculations on social networks, in which Rosé became the target of negative comments.
One of the rumors is that Bruno Mars "unfollowed" Rosé on Instagram after "APT." went empty-handed. However, many users quickly pointed out that this is not true because in fact Bruno Mars and Rosé have never followed each other on social networks, so there is no "unfollow" as rumored.
Previously, a video claiming that Bruno Mars ignored Rosé when she was wrapped around her shoulder backstage at the Grammys was also widely shared. In the video, Bruno Mars freely took pictures when the camera lens was pointed at him and there was no interaction with the Blackpink member while she was hugging him very intimately. After this video went viral, many people thought that these were just short moments and the relationship between Bruno Mars and Rosé was still very close.
The proof is that Bruno Mars shared pictures of eating pizza with Rosé (Blackpink) after the 2026 Grammy Awards ceremony. In the photo, the two leaned on each other very closely, they were still wearing the outfits they wore at the Grammy party. "Don't worry, after the performance, Big Bad Rosie and I will go out to eat pizza right away! Thank you Grammy for letting us have a fun time. Congratulations to everyone!", Bruno Mars wrote and tagged Rosé's account. Bruno Mars also appeared in Blackpink's concert to duet Rosé's song "APT. ".
On social networking platforms, many viewers expressed outrage at deliberately attributing the relationship between the two artists to just a few moments or a few photos/videos. Previously, Blackpink was also rumored to be "inseparable" just because of short moments spread on social networks.
