Bruno Mars Responds to Speculation of Feud With BLACKPINK’s Rosé Following GRAMMYs Defeat

Rosé is facing backlash over her behavior with Bruno Mars at the 2026 GRAMMYs.
The controversy began after the duo attended the awards show on February 1. Their song “APT” was nominated but didn’t win, marking the first time in six years Bruno didn’t take home a GRAMMY.
Fans started doubting Rosé’s attitude around Bruno, accusing her of causing tension. Some even said Bruno looked unhappy with her during the event.
Soon after, netizens rushed to defend Rosé. Now, Bruno Mars has seemed to respond to the drama himself.
On February 4, Bruno posted several updates on his Instagram. He shared clips of his solo performance and a Korean article praising K-Pop’s impact at the GRAMMYs, featuring a photo of him and Rosé performing together.
Next, Bruno posted a fan-made image joking about his shorter height compared to Rosé, playing along with the height meme.

Fans took this as Bruno shutting down rumors about the supposed tension and the song’s loss at the GRAMMYs.
