"In a universe where Abel didn’t exist, Bruno could’ve been more loved and respected but I feel like people just aren’t checking for him," one fan claimed.

"21x Platinum…Bruno Mars didn’t just release a song, he wrote a national anthem. Record books officially shook," a fourth user gushed.

Blackpink's Rose says she had a huge fight with Bruno Mars while filming: Read more

Notably, Bruno Mars' name was dragged into the spotlight just days ago when Rose revealed she had a fight with him while filming the music video for their mega-hit song Apt.

During a recent conversation with Vogue, she was asked to tell a story about herself and the singer that "no one else knows." Revealing that they had the "biggest fight," the Blackpink member, legally known as Roseanne Park, recounted:

"Me and [Bruno Mars], oh my gosh, I don't know if I'm allowed to say this," the 28-year-old began. "I had the biggest fight with Bruno right before the music video shoot, but we made up on set, so it was alright."

However, she insisted that they are now good friends.

"Oh my God, he's going to kill me... let's not fight. Let's be friends," she smiled.

As reported by Uproxx, she previously explained the meaning behind her track, noting that APT is a Korean drinking game she plays with her friends back home.

"It’s so simple, puts a smile on your face, and breaks the ice at any party. One night in the studio I taught my crew how to play the game. Everyone was fascinated, especially when I started the chant, so we played around with it and I said we should make a song out of it… and after [Bruno Mars] joined the track, the rest became history!”
