Bruno Mars has responded with humor to rumors that he created his latest hit with Sexyy Red to clear an alleged $50 million gambling debt. The Grammy-winning singer, known for his Las Vegas residency, took to Instagram to joke about the speculation, urging fans to “keep streaming” so he could “be out of debt in no time.”

Bruno Mars, amidst what can only be described as the longest string of bad beats an artist has ever experienced, recently poked fun at his reported gambling debt. The multi-platinum Grammy winner shared an article from Spotify after he made history as the first artist to reach 150 million monthly listeners earlier this week.

Mars was referencing the persistent rumor that he is in severe gambling debt to MGM, the company that hosts his Vegas residencies. Last year, a report claimed that Mars owed $50 million to the corporation and was continuing to play Vegas shows in order to work off his debts. MGM, however, vehemently denied the rumor.
