Bruno Mars has subtly addressed speculation surrounding his interaction with BLACKPINK’s Rosé following the GRAMMYs.
On February 1, Rosé and Bruno attended the awards ceremony, where their collaboration “APT” was nominated in several categories but ultimately went home empty-handed. This marked the first time in six years that Bruno had not won a GRAMMY, sparking heightened attention and online chatter about his demeanor around Rosé. Some social media users misinterpreted his reactions, suggesting he was displeased with the singer.
Netizens quickly defended Rosé, and it now appears Bruno has weighed in himself. On February 4, he shared several posts on Instagram, including footage of his solo performance at the GRAMMYs and a screenshot of a Korean article highlighting K-Pop’s notable impact at the awards, featuring a photo of him performing alongside Rosé.
He also shared a fan-made post joking about his height compared to Rosé, which many interpreted as his lighthearted response to the online criticism and the loss of the award. Fans viewed these updates as Bruno’s subtle way of shutting down negativity and showing support for his collaboration with Rosé.
