The singer celebrated becoming the first artist to reach 150 million monthly Spotify listeners while humorously addressing debunked claims of a massive gambling debt.

Bruno Mars became the first artist in Spotify history to surpass 150 million monthly listeners, marking a significant milestone in his music career.
On Instagram, Mars joked about the long-disputed rumor of a $50 million gambling debt, telling fans to 'Keep streaming! I’ll be out of debt in no time!'
The gambling debt rumor originated in 2024, with claims that Mars owed millions to MGM Resorts, but the company has repeatedly denied these allegations.

The achievement follows the release of his latest music, including collaborations with Sexyy Red, Lady Gaga, and Blackpink’s Rosé, which have contributed to his record-breaking streaming numbers.
