Bruno Mars is Officially a Star: ‘Nothing On You’ singer busted for drug possession

Sandra Rose September 20, 2010

It’s official: singer/songwriter Bruno Mars is now more famous than rappers B.o.B and Cee-Lo, who he wrote songs for.

The singer/songwriter who rose to fame by writing and performing on such songs as “Nothing On You” by B.o.B, was busted at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Vegas early this morning for possession of 2.6 grams of cocaine, according to TMZ.

Be prepared to see Bruno Mars’ fame reach dizzying heights now that he’s got his street cred.

I never heard of Bruno Mars until after the 2010 MTV VMAs (which I didn’t watch). That’s when I learned that the catchy tune I was listening to in my car every weekend was actually a B.o.B. song.

Radio DJs hardly ever announce the artist’s name anymore. I guess they assume everyone already knows who the song is by.

But I had no clue that “Nothing On You” or “Airplanes” were by B.o.B. I had always wondered why those two singers allowed a rapper to ruin their songs. I’m not hating, I’m just being real.

Bruno just released the music video for his song “Just The Way You Are.”

If you have any doubts in your mind that Bruno can throw down vocally, listen to this live acoustic performance of “Billionaire” on the Dick in the Morning Show.

Blehhhh

I like his features. “Nothing on You” was the shyt

Drug tests must work in “reverse” fashion in the music industry. If you’re found to be clean you’re fired.

Sandra, you’re right too, DJ’s never give the name of the artists. I guess they worried people will stop listening and get that chit of the internet.

I was thinking the same thing. Bruno said he didn’t want his songs to sound too 90s. Boy stop! You could have had yourself a hit without having to split that publishing check.

What is with all these people getting busted with coke? Are we back in the 80’s again? Ima need Whitney messy self to come preach to these young chilrens. This boy is too talented and cute to be caught up in this mess.

Congrats on becoming a star!

Now, your next step is to get a woman with a ridiculous body. Preferably a stripper or porn star. I think that chick “Pebbles” or whatever is the PERFECT candidate. Oh, and of course “start beef” with another, more popular, singer.

You are on the way, you are on the way dawg.

Sandra when u make comments like this I REFUSE to believe that u are THAT behind on who is hot at the moment. I havent watched 106 in Park or TRL (does that even come on anymore) since I graduated college in 2005 and the only time I listen to the radio is in the morning to tune into Rickey Smiley and I know who this guy is…Its your job to keep up with the celebs and it always cracks me up when u are clueless on some folks, but then again u could be being sarcastic

On another note, what is up with Hollywood? Soon as folks get on is a couple crack rocks apart of the welcome packet? Dang!!! They all are on something!!!

I went home for lunch, turned to CBS and wondered why “The Price Is Right” was on, (As The World Turns ended Friday). Why did these ladies have on T-Shirts that said “Drew’s Buffalo Diva’s?

I wonder if that’s why Bob isn’t coming back. He does want to come out of retirement, the ratings do suck but the ppl will embarass you. I use to think Oprah was being funny, when you look at her audience everyone is dressed nice and don’t need their grill/replaced, repaired.. LOL.

Gotcha…Sometimes when I’m forced to listen to the YT stations at the gym I tune out the rap cause lately they throw a rap on N-E-THING and it gets old. I guess that since “Nothing on You” was so catchy I had to know who it was by…He is catchy and not a 1 trick pony like alot of artist out today which is a good thing…Easier to cross over and make that long money…Notice how Jay Z didnt REALLLY get big til he started experimenting with rock beats like when he did that live performance with incubous I remember alotof yt folks started really paying attention to him…
mackatty

“But I had no clue that “Nothing On You” or “Airplanes” were by B.o.B. I had always wondered why those two singers allowed a rapper to ruin their songs. I’m not hating, I’m just being real.”

Like I said on Twitter, I feel bad for B.o.B bec the hooks are the best parts of his songs & he doesn’t sing the hooks.

I’m surprised Hard Rock security turned Bruno Mars into the police. I figured most places turned a blind eye to that from celebs. Bruno better straighten up, he has a promising career on him if he drops the Lohan act.

why don’t these celebs do their dirt from the privacy of their own homes instead of going out and getting busted with drugs on them? IDIOTS
