Jennifer Lopez called out Bruno Mars for $5M performance fee: wedding planner
Jennifer Lopez called out Bruno Mars for his multi-million-dollar performance fee.
During a podcast interview, celebrity wedding planner Marcy Blum shared Lopez’s reaction when she discovered how much it would’ve cost to book a performance with the “24K Magic” singer.
“We were working with J.Lo and A-Rod before they broke up, and they were going through a list of musicians, and she goes, ‘What about Bruno Mars?'” Blum explained on “The Skinny Confidential Him & Her Podcast.“

Blum recalled telling Lopez that she had “just worked with” Mars on another wedding event. The “Marry You” singer received $5 million to sing for 45 minutes to an hour, according to Blum.
“Don’t be ridiculous!” Blum recalled Lopez’s shocked reaction.
