**Las Vegas, NV** – Bruno Mars is celebrating a major achievement on Spotify, becoming the first artist to reach 150 million monthly listeners. The singer-songwriter took to Instagram to share the news, jokingly adding that he’ll be “out of debt in no time,” a playful jab at recent, debunked rumors.

Last year, NewsNation reported that Mars owed MGM Resorts over $50 million in gambling debts, allegedly using his lucrative Las Vegas residency earnings to pay it off. MGM Resorts International vehemently denied these claims, stating that their partnership with Mars is strong and that he has no outstanding debt.

Mars himself addressed the rumors last June, laughing them off and embracing the “lore” that he’s a Las Vegas lounge singer in debt to the mob. He expressed his continued love for the city and hinted at future projects in Las Vegas. His recent collaborations, including “Fat Juicy & Wet” with Sexyy Red, and his continued success, with “Die with a Smile” nominated for two Grammys, further illustrate his flourishing career. The singer’s success seems to be proving the rumors unfounded.
