The recent Grammy Awards failures of Rosé (BLACKPINK) and Bruno Mars have generated significant media attention. Notably, Bruno Mars’s complete absence sparked even more heated public discussion, largely because since 2014, he has consistently been nominated for and won at least one Grammy award. In recent days, many netizens have even blamed Rosé, claiming she broke her senior’s winning streak at the world’s most prestigious awards ceremony.

On the morning of February 4th, the public was once again abuzz when KpopInsider reported that Bruno Mars had unfollowed Rosé’s Instagram account after her humiliating defeat at the 2026 Grammys. This information immediately caused a stir among 3.7 million people on social media platform X alone. Many netizens even speculated that Bruno Mars was so furious that he cut off all ties with BLACKPINK’s lead vocalist after she caused him to go home empty-handed at this year’s Grammys.

However, in reality, Bruno Mars did not unfollow his junior as the rumors suggested, because he never followed her in the first place. It is known that it is quite normal in the entertainment industry for close friends not to follow each other on social media using their official accounts. And this doesn’t reflect the true nature of the relationship between the stars.

From the most recent images after the 2026 Grammy Awards, it can be confirmed that Bruno Mars is still very close to Rosé and there is no truth to the rumors that he was affected by the wave of negative online comments that caused a rift between them.

Previously, Rosé and Bruno Mars were known as a close friendship between two opposite personalities in the entertainment industry. Their beautiful cross-border friendship also received much love and admiration from the audience. Remember Bruno Mars appeared at BLACKPINK’s concert in Los Angeles, USA last July to support Rosé. Backstage, Rosé and Bruno Mars laughed and joked happily in a warm, brotherly atmosphere. The moment Rosé invited her senior to play tower-building games melted fans’ hearts. Furthermore, the two stars showered each other with effusive praise in numerous interviews with the press.

The two popular artists first met at Bruno Mars’ studio in Los Angeles two summers ago, arranged by Atlantic Records. At that time, Rosé was working on her debut solo album, Rosie, and was still getting used to her solo career. Together, they released the global hit APT., and their friendship deepened over time.
