Bruno Mars unfollowed Rosé? Grammys loss sparks fan debate, rumors
What's the story
The 2026 Grammy Awards sparked a massive fan debate over APT, the hit collaboration by Bruno Mars and Rosé. Despite dominating global charts for months, the song surprisingly didn't win any awards. This unexpected outcome led to a split among fans, with Blinks (Rosé's group BLACKPINK's fandom) expressing disappointment and sparking unfair allegations. Some netizens started calling the Korean singer unlucky for Mars, leading to rumors that the American singer-songwriter unfollowed Rosé on Instagram after their losses.
Unfollow rumors
Unfollow rumor sparked by viral post
The unfollow rumor was fueled by a viral screenshot on X, which allegedly showed an Instagram Story from Rosé asking why her message to Mars was undelivered and why his profile picture had disappeared. The post quickly gained millions of views and thousands of comments, igniting speculation among fans. Many pointed out that Mars had blocked her, so she wasn't able to see his profile picture, although a major chunk still questioned the screenshot and its authenticity.
Rumor debunked
Mars never followed Rosé
However, the speculation quickly fizzled out when fans discovered that Mars had never followed Rosé on Instagram. This revelation made it impossible for him to have unfollowed her in the first place, proving the screenshot was fake. The unfounded rumors and memes about their alleged fallout continued to spread on social media platforms, though.
Celebration together
The duo was spotted celebrating together after the awards
Adding to this, Mars and Rosé were seen celebrating together after the Grammy Awards. Mars shared a photo of Rosé eating pizza on his Instagram, captioning it, "Count on me and Big Bad Rosie to be eating a pizza after a show! Thank you to everyone at the grammys for letting us have some fun. Congrats to all!" The two were also spotted at an after-party in West Hollywood, appearing comfortable with each other.
Future projects
Mars hinted at future collaborations with Rosé last year
Earlier in December 2025, Mars had hinted at future collaborations with Rosé during an interview with Billboard Music. He said, "Oh, yeah, there is. And we love that song that we worked on - I won't say the title... We're just trying to figure out when or how." So, we can rest assured all is well between the two artists.
