Music producer Jermaine Dupri has admitted he missed a major opportunity by passing on Bruno Mars before the singer became a global superstar.
After attending one of Mars’ recent concerts, Dupri sent him a message praising the performance. Mars jokingly replied that Dupri should have signed him, prompting the producer to agree and share their exchange on Instagram.

The case stems from a 2024 lawsuit filed by former Donda Academy security guard Benjamin Provo, who accused the rapper of discrimination, retaliation and labour violations. Ye has denied wrongdoing in the case.

The announcement came when F1 revealed Monaco as one of ten sprint locations in its newly released 2027 calendar. The decision raised eyebrows, since the harbor-front track — while known for producing thrilling qualifying sessions — typically results in races that are hard to overtake on and often play out exactly as the starting grid predicts.
