Bruno Mars is facing controversy over fake claims linking him to BLACKPINK’s Rosé after their GRAMMYs loss.
The drama started after the February 1 GRAMMYs, where Bruno’s album APT. didn’t win any awards. This broke his 6-year winning streak. Fans quickly targeted Rosé, accusing her of somehow causing Bruno’s loss.

로제 억까 왤케 심하지 해외에서 로제 때문에 브루노 마즈가 그래미를 못받았다는 언론이 이어지고 있고, 브루노가 그래미 이후 로제를 언팔했다는 루머도 돌고 있는데
팩트는 애초에 서로 팔로우를 하지도 않았음. 그리고 그래미 이후 브루노가 둘의 셀카도 올림.
작작해 진짜..

Why is the hate toward Rosé so insanely bad? Overseas, there are media outlets saying Bruno Mars didn’t win a GRAMMY because of Rosé, and there are even rumors going around that Bruno unfollowed Rosé after the GRAMMYs.
The facts: they weren’t even following each other in the first place. And after the GRAMMYs, Bruno literally posted a selfie of the two of them.
Seriously, enough already.
— OP
Contrary to the narrative being pushed by unwashed social rejects, Bruno Mars and #ROSÉ never got to follow nor unfollow each other on instagram.

Rosé’s Instagram follower count has been zero for a while—she doesn’t even follow her BLACKPINK groupmates.
