Having a parent battling an addiction is extremely hard. You gotta take the role of a caretaker when all you want to be is the child. Peace to Mario, I understand.
How can someone with so much pain, suffering and anguish in his family life, come into the world scorned, but has managed to stay handsome and beautiful as for as the outer interior as a youngster, teenager, and a man? His pain is real, but his beauty has not faded, and as an African American man, he is one of the most beautiful, fine, intelligent, smart, and good looking spirits inside and out.
Mario is the truth !! I admire him and truly respect him for opening up about his mother’s struggles and the way it’s affected him and how he handled it ...Thank you for letting us in❤️❤️💯💯😇😇
I met him when he was like 14, before he started recording, he was with manager Troy Patterson I believe. He was actually touring with my uncle who'se in Ruffendz! But he was sooo humble & shy when asked to sing something outside of a college tour! I don't bother telling ppl this because they never believe me anyways!
This kid has overcome a lot !!! I want him to win and he will ... He has gotten stronger and he seems to keep GOD in the center of it all !! He knows this industry is a messy machine
What a stunning young man and so mature. I hope God blesses him with an upright woman who has his back and help bear the weight of his mother. Geez, he's been through so much so young.
Mario never compared himself to Chris Brown, Drake, or the Migos 🙄😒. He was a huge star before any of them so that doesn't even make sense logistically. All I want to know is when we're getting new music 😫.
i like Ebro,he gives great interviews...He's not an ass kisser...I want Mario to win,since the start of his career..But i feel like his time has come n gone,,he 's came back more than twice n each time he ends up lost n the sauce n his comeback songs be hot..
damn i missed mario, let me love you, how do i breathe, crying out for me, i choose you were all real r&b back in the day. he needs to bring out a new album or sum
TheOMasterJ trust me Mario is super underrated lol. He had his time though. Artists need to realize that. It happens lol. He needs to just stay true to himself instead of trying to fit in with today's generation.
My mans was forever adjusting that mic though! Either that mic just couldn't stay that ass in line or Mario's nerves was a little shot! All love though, R&B needs dudes like Mario that can actually sing!
Much respect to Maria. I've been a fan since day 1 and have seen his growth and maturity. God is definitely with him. I wish him all the success and happiness in the world.
Mario, I have nothing but mad respect for you. You definitely have placed GOD in the forefront and He shall bless you and see you through!... You are an AMAZING young man with an AMAZING testimony. You have a fan from day one!... I'm sorry for your loss since we know that your mother since then has passed.
Mario don't sell out. I still appreciate your music and you as an artist. You are extremely underrated. But when all relationships fail, go to Jesus he will never fail you!
great interview by mario he was sincere and honest in all his answers I have a lot of respect for him and his music and I'm excited in the direction of his music
He got that fresh paint job though. I promised myself I wouldn't go this far when my hairline start disappearing I'm going Ebro mode, I know when to let go.
+TJ STEELER He tried to let it go but his head shape was not cooperating, nigga looked like Cashew from the proud family. Ole boi had to catch it back, it don't look too bad though he using hair illusion instead of bigen.
WHATS THE NAME OF THE DAMN SONG!!! EBRO the interview is pointless if you don't include the exact product the artist came to promote at this point in time.
He's an inspiration for the big nosed brothers like me. Was a major fan of his when his debut album came out in '02. He had gems in that album like 2 Train and C'mon. But I just don't know why his career was never consistently in the public eye, with the exception of hits here and there like the "You Should Let Me Love You" joint. I'd venture to say he has one of the top 3 greatest male voices in Hip hop over the last 16 years with Trey Songz and Usher.
Aaron Anderson I agree with this decree. Praying for a mighty encounter with the Holy Spirit, God let Your will be made manifest in his life, in Jesus name amen🙏
Before Chris Brown, There were guys like Mario killing the game. Who remembers "Just a Friend" back 2002?
everybody remembers
just forgot about his music and grammy nom after huh?
+Pooch Luelz Let me love you reggeaton remix
I remember that song Just a Friend, but I really like his songs Get Out and Ooh Baby.
Chick with the braids. What your name is
This dude underrated in the R&B game. Storch and Sean Garrett gave him classics.
Mario is the most underrated singer in the game. his vocal ability is crazy.
so true.
+Cashmera Huddleston yes he is I love his music who else you think is underrated
+Tia Wessells keke wyatt!
Cashmera Huddleston yes who else I think Tyrese
I agree his vocal ability is out cold
He still looks the same as he did in 2003 😂
HE AGE LIKE WINE NEH!
Having a parent battling an addiction is extremely hard. You gotta take the role of a caretaker when all you want to be is the child. Peace to Mario, I understand.
True!!
realitybitesgirl same mad respect for moving in the right direction and not going down the dark path
Agree
Mario, Sammie and Lloyd are some underrated brothers. It's sad that their careers are not where it suppose to be.
And j holiday
Agreed!
True Journey That tells me you haven't listened to his music. Listen before judging my friend.
+BrunoMafiaTV yes you right about that I love Mario music
+Tia Wessells Agreed

Amen 🙏🏾 you took the words outta my mouth and said exactly what I was thinking!!
Mario is the truth !! I admire him and truly respect him for opening up about his mother’s struggles and the way it’s affected him and how he handled it ...Thank you for letting us in❤️❤️💯💯😇😇
Mario and Lloyd are both talented dudes who have hits over the years but disappear for years
I met him when he was like 14, before he started recording, he was with manager Troy Patterson I believe. He was actually touring with my uncle who'se in Ruffendz! But he was sooo humble & shy when asked to sing something outside of a college tour! I don't bother telling ppl this because they never believe me anyways!
Guyanese Girl I believe you
his barber needed a shoutout
Maturity and Well-Spoken alot of young R&B up comers can learn from him
Pretty sure he didn't compare himself to Chrs Brown, Migos or Drake
he could cause he got amazing music he's so underrated he got hits too
ok
Okey Elukeme I think he work with neyo again and if he wanna sign a major Def Jam or epic would be great for him I want him to win
Click bait
haha , I thought my short attention span caused me to miss it
I just miss Mario and his music. The first album is still classic!
turning point is a classic
right. lol.
Sitting Pretty Lolo it definitely isn't
Mario is probably of the truest r&b artist of the 00. DUde maintained the same vocals and music style since day 1
This kid has overcome a lot !!! I want him to win and he will ... He has gotten stronger and he seems to keep GOD in the center of it all !! He knows this industry is a messy machine
I'm sorry, but I didn't care about shit he was talking about, because I was so distracted from how FINE he is. That man is beautiful!
He is fine boy! 😍😍😍😍
What a stunning young man and so mature. I hope God blesses him with an upright woman who has his back and help bear the weight of his mother. Geez, he's been through so much so young.
He still looks young #melaninpopping 🤗
I swear I ain't seen this dude since I was 4
lmao
On g tho
+IgniTionZ Damn youngin...I feel like that but 24
Lmao
His song with Nicki Minaj was off the chain
truee
That song was dope as hell.

Yup that track was dope should've kept up the momentum after that but didn't

Mario never compared himself to Chris Brown, Drake, or the Migos 🙄😒. He was a huge star before any of them so that doesn't even make sense logistically.
All I want to know is when we're getting new music 😫.
Mario, heavy on the Virgo ♍️ energy. That new EP slaps
still remember that gem he dropped a few years ago about investing in experiences rather than purses. enriched my life with that advice.
i like Ebro,he gives great interviews...He's not an ass kisser...I want Mario to win,since the start of his career..But i feel like his time has come n gone,,he 's came back more than twice n each time he ends up lost n the sauce n his comeback songs be hot..
He was under the stress of dealing with his mom so he couldn't fully flourish
damn i missed mario, let me love you, how do i breathe, crying out for me, i choose you were all real r&b back in the day. he needs to bring out a new album or sum
this du always look the same
fr
Black don't crack
+Justin Roman He's balding though
+Official MikeLee Yh bro
Young people fuck around n thinking he's an up and coming artist type shit...
He was tearing up, Mario been through stuff..
Still think this brudda is underrated
+TheOMasterJ Totally agree. Great voice.
***** You heard his Right Way & Wrong Way cover? Some of the notes he hits are a *_madness!_*
+TheOMasterJ he killed that heavily
DJ Poiz Bruv I couldn't believe it lol never heard him sing like that before *_round of applause_*
TheOMasterJ trust me Mario is super underrated lol. He had his time though. Artists need to realize that. It happens lol. He needs to just stay true to himself instead of trying to fit in with today's generation.
Ebro is not a like able guy to me...it's really hard to watch him try to engage with people
His voice makes me so relax I just want to cuddle and go to sleep 😴
Mario so well grounded N respectful. He has a right to change his music if he wants to.
Mario had bops tho 🙌🏾
luv, luv, Luv Mario......his talent is awesome! I want to see him reign in R&B like he should....lets go Mario with the new album!
Mario has that vintage Steve Harvey hairline. Perfection 👌
Facts long as it works for him that's all that matters
+Jimmy Two-Times TM fr that shit look like a cartoon... its too perfect
I love Mario ,he never really changes ,God bless his soul
this topic is so misleading he's not comparing himself to none of this artist he's actually denying it.
Ahh didn't know he was a Virgo! ♍🙌 definitely feeling the vibes.. he's matured a lot, glad he's back!
sarauniyaGH Virgos always make themselves known especially when it’s comes to control of self
My mans was forever adjusting that mic though! Either that mic just couldn't stay that ass in line or Mario's nerves was a little shot! All love though, R&B needs dudes like Mario that can actually sing!
ctfu u tryna say he was on drugs
+Denzel Jones Nah not even lol! Just may have felt a bit of discomfort
Deep interview!!! love the growth in Mario.
Thats one hard shape up shout out to his barber
very inspirational interview
Much respect to Maria. I've been a fan since day 1 and have seen his growth and maturity. God is definitely with him. I wish him all the success and happiness in the world.
who cuts this nigga hair its amazing
this album, Go! was THEE best album ever
VERY NTELLIGENT YUNGMAN!!!!! SPIRITUALITY HEALS MANY WOUNDS
I absolutely adore this man 😍
Come on Mario defend yourself....I’m proud and I like how he took of his glasses show know fear.
Well damn nigga, a wild Mario appeared!
where's your pokeball?
Haha
Lmao
He's been in the industry for 15 years, and still is underrated. That's good in a way cuz he's not out there like that.
Mario! don't have your MOTHER SACRIFICED for a grand comeback.
mario can pass as chris rock's son 100%
+bobby cole Smdh. The other way arround you mean. Pretty sure Mario was way before "Run it". Learn that R&B history kids.
absolutely
+ProfitAlerts Chris rock is a comedian.chris brown sings run it.think you need to take your own advice kid.
My bad, i sublimenally thought Chris Brown not Chris Rock when i first read the sentence. And defenitely he can be Chris Rock's son 1000%
It's cool. After I wrote my comment I had a moment thinking that I had made a mistake haha.
Mario, I have nothing but mad respect for you. You definitely have placed GOD in the forefront and He shall bless you and see you through!... You are an AMAZING young man with an AMAZING testimony. You have a fan from day one!...
I'm sorry for your loss since we know that your mother since then has passed.
I Love Mario! He's so fine. He's a good man and I wish him the best!
What's wrong with change? The sky is the limit. Let this man live musically.
I felt Mario handled himself well during this. Still fine. His speaking voice is sexy too.
Mario (2002) to be exact was when I knew alot & the swag clothes, music 🎶 was so underrated ❤💯
Sammie Mario and lloyd is underrated I wish they was more famous and known 😔
Compares himself to Chris Rock is what I expected the rest of the title to be. LMAO.
+LowkeyLoki same lol
Really good interview.
Mario don't sell out. I still appreciate your music and you as an artist. You are extremely underrated. But when all relationships fail, go to Jesus he will never fail you!
His smile in the thumbnail had me blushing I’m ngl🙈
I can't wait for his new music.
+Alain Bruno me too, Mario makes good music!
+Alain Bruno he is cute :DDD
He has not aged at all,he looks the same age in step up
Mario been talking about. MOM ENOUGH HAPPY MOTHERS DAY MOM U DID A EXCELLENT JOB WITH MARIO.

+Messagefrom Montie thank you 👌

Tia Wessells 💯
Marvin Hendríx he aging good
DickLacey I swear
DickLacey prime example
I love someone dat challenges Ebro
He ain't fooling anybody with that HAIRLINE #StopIt5
Deep
you got me 😂😂😂 this comment is too funny
Why do you care?
He got that fresh paint job though. I promised myself I wouldn't go this far when my hairline start disappearing I'm going Ebro mode, I know when to let go.
😂😂😂😂😂
Cmon on bro it ante that bad! 😅
+TJ STEELER He tried to let it go but his head shape was not cooperating, nigga looked like Cashew from the proud family. Ole boi had to catch it back, it don't look too bad though he using hair illusion instead of bigen.
+Ron. G that boy got that black lacker
+Itaku yo you had me rollinggggg. These were my exact thoughts too
Mario was not having Hot 97 that day. Interesting interview though.
he will always be my crush
Your cute
i wanted hoes to braid my hair growing up, thanks mario
I hate Hot 97s clickbait titles
I love his maturity when he said it's a disease not his mother.
WHATS THE NAME OF THE DAMN SONG!!! EBRO the interview is pointless if you don't include the exact product the artist came to promote at this point in time.
yess mario love this whole interview.....
Wow this deep I couldn't stop thinking about Kehlani's situation
He's an inspiration for the big nosed brothers like me. Was a major fan of his when his debut album came out in '02. He had gems in that album like 2 Train and C'mon. But I just don't know why his career was never consistently in the public eye, with the exception of hits here and there like the "You Should Let Me Love You" joint. I'd venture to say he has one of the top 3 greatest male voices in Hip hop over the last 16 years with Trey Songz and Usher.
What? Trey songz sounds like a goat.....not a good one either and Mario sounds like August alsina on steroids.
Trey is not a good example bro. Him, August Alsina, and the car from Empire can't sing for shit. They all sound like billy goats.
+larry conley Billy goats lmfao!!!
+larry conley trey's first 3 albums were good he can sing .
I love him so much
I know, he still got that baby face
Ebro was getting SONNED this whole interview lol
+Julian Ramos yup
Damn, forgot about Mario.
Let Me Love You is 11 years ago.....??
Wow, time really flyyyys!!
you making me feel old seem like yesterday that song got released lol
My god he looks amazing 😍❤️
that lining sharp!!!
D rose on his road to the rings
Lol I was thinking the same thing, shout out to his barber!
+Nicole Love ya'll finished or ya'll done
his barber deserves a Brammy.
Mario all zen-ned up
take me travelling with you!
Black Life 101 “Nobody taught me, so I had to learn that via trial and error”.
God bless him and his mom!😘😊😊😊😊❤️💕
He should go to therapy because he will forever be going through failed relationships.
Hes so FINE! I been inlove with him since "just a friend" 😍😍😍
Glad he is back.
Mario and Omarion had it on lock back in the day.
This man is so beautiful, (including his nose) he still remains humble, if i ever married him, I would give him my world.
May the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ keep him and engulf him with the Holy Spirit
+Aaron Anderson Amen!!
Preach! I pray the devil never gets hold of him or his mind set never swerves in that direction.
Aaron Anderson I agree with this decree. Praying for a mighty encounter with the Holy Spirit, God let Your will be made manifest in his life, in Jesus name amen🙏
Laura Stylez was all in his mouth when he took his shades off
i was literally so close to mario at my job a while back lol
MMM he still look good. I'm cool with the new style but I hope he still bringing the REAL R&B feel.
I love him. Been a fan since I was young 8 years old
