Mario on His Mom Getting Addicted After Car Accident Left Her in Wheelchair (Part 2)

[@NikkiThoughts]

I've been going down a Mario rabbit hole since the verzuz. I never knew these things about him. He sees so strong and humbled to be able to talk about these things.

[@blisslove3758]

Same here, he’s a wonderful being praying for continued success in his journey!

[@poisonivy9760]

Since early 2000 my guy Amazing 👏🏾

[@jenesisjene6343]

Same here. Have always liked his music but this interview makes me respect him even more.

[@jerristroud2189]

I remember his mtv documentary about his mom’s battle with drug abuse. He’s a very strong man! You can see the hurt in his eyes because he couldn’t save her! ❤️ him!

[@kesha297]

Yes I remember it as well. I was hoping that she would overcome her demons. She seemed like such a fun, energetic and loving woman. Mario is such a strong person. He has overcome soo much in his life its amazing to watch his success especially coming from Baltimore and making it out and not becoming a statistic. Most young men from here end up in prison, dying at a young age or following in the same footsteps as their addictive parent(if they have an addicted parent). He is soo talented and I pray he continues to be Successful!!

[@gsportsgaming9387]

Hope this brother gets EVERYTHING he want in his life.

[@LilKimRobot]

I love Mario. He has a beautiful soul.

[@kimr.2284]

YES, always loved Mario and always will love Mario!😊

[@breonnarogers3059]

Vlad just made me mad as shit with interview. He crossed so many boundaries and really did take advantage of Mario's kindness. He wouldn't even try that on most people.

[@rhajamarie4842]

Like why would he do thaaatt

[@keishajones3085]

Yes,he is digging too damn deep for me.

[@fabulosity493]

I hate him for that. He likes to demean black folk in his interviews.

[@chocolatebeaute]

He's terrible

[@lidumama23]

I can see the hurt in his eyes💔

[@Ad-Lo]

Nina La Bella and confusion. So sad.

[@taybae6185]

I can't watch anymore of this interview. Mario is a true professional for sitting through this gracefully. Vlad clearly gets off on the misfortunes of black ppl.

[@aisharay9861]

Not true mario did a whole documentary based on his mom being on drugs

[@aisharay9861]

He does an autobiographical interview

[@JackCarlisleOfficial]

100% that's why I refuse to subscribe to his channel

[@lashandaallenredmon2109]

It’s definitely odd. No empathy or anything. 🙄

[@SoulSearch11110]

Thank you, I was watching this on my TV and came here to say this

[@whyasmr841]

My dad was on drugs and an alcoholic from age 16 until 50 plus and has now been clean for 10 years. I'm so proud of him.

[@christopherrobinson1219]

meaning he made to 60! 5 yrs later maybe he's 65?! hope so. if so you and him blessed!!!🎉

[@Charmer4856]

My mom was a drug addict, I knew it my whole life. We werent very close, she was even using while pregnant with me. She thought she was hiding it from me but I knew. Finally on her death bed she admitted it and I let her know I didnt hate her or never did hate her for not being around. She was relieved I didnt resent her

[@TheeCrownJewel22]

DaReoCharmer God bless you and that you all were able to talk and you gave her that peace is powerful.

[@Charmer4856]

You dont have to forget things but you can forgive. Forgiveness isnt for them, its really for you

[@216jbreez]

Much Respect Man.

[@THEMANCURTIS]

Respect 🙏🙏

[@blackgoku5868]

You a real one. The universe will greatly repay you

[@AliaParker]

I want to hug him so bad and let him feel protected😫this man has been through so much...blessings and love to Mario❤️

[@kimmyd6832]

Mario looks so sad. I hope he finds happiness and peace some day. He deserves it.

[@yungjamir]

RIP to his mom! 🙏🙏🙏

[@chayomalive]

jj medick i thought she was alive. When did she die?

[@yungjamir]

chayomalive few yrs ago

[@cdubb8185]

@RObert Waller oh i was like huh

[@chayomalive]

RObert Waller she died last year. Google it

[@beverleyreid7572]

I love when he said he’s always been in control & aware of his life.

[@LucieBrasi]

It’s so crazy I saw this comment at that very part of the video.... lol that’s soooo crazy

[@queendanielle9655]

Mario is a strong man & handled this interview gracefully.

[@nukabomb9014]

Ppl need to realize how bad addiction is and try to help one another instead of judging

[@algeronbradley4936]

He had too make grown man decisions at a young age

[@CarlosLopez-md1ei]

I truly got love for how Mario discribes how his mother's enthusiasm for bringing his talent to fruition was there.

[@CNNWANNABE]

I think it is so rude for vlad to discuss the lengths abusers went to take advantage of addicts of heroine. He put too much emphasis on the topic of his mom doing drugs. And then discussing eating dog sh-? Dude.. What’s wrong with your heart?

[@iamnotmyhandle]

Soulless being.

[@meemeepalmer4144]

Whether his mom was a heroin addict or not,she did an amazing job raising Mario!!!💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽

[@Leopardv8448]

Example of God's grace

[@mariaslavinski1588]

Gram had a big part til he was 12 he is an exceptional young man who deserves all the blessings that comes his way!!!!

[@pinkyreeves8019]

Amen 🙏

[@TiffanyWestNyc]

He did it himself

[@genniejefferson6588]

This young man is so wonderful. Hope he find a decent woman who’ll treat him RIGHT.

[@pinkyreeves8019]

Yes 🙌

[@Charmer4856]

Paralyzed for two years??? I say thats a win! Its usually a life sentence of paralysis

[@vikeyshamurray7553]

DaReoCharmer she died I think

[@mskeenac21]

Vikeysha Murray She died last year her death had nothing to do with her being paralyzed

[@KISHEEME]

Dumb ass. I'm pretty sure she didn't know it would only be two yrs. Imagine thinking you will never walk again.

[@misguidedpearls7456]

K u said it exactly

[@jaimep456]

Lifetime of addiction tho

[@SnapShawwtyTv]

I met Mario in 2005 when my mom did pr for his label and he always been a humble nice straight up guy. He always went beyond the label to speak to fans etc. Seeing him now let’s me know he still a real one! Stay blessed king we still support you REAL R&b

[@MyaFan443]

He's been through a lot. I wish him nothing but the best.

[@302F15]

Mario had a MTV special way back EARLY Reality TV and he had gave his mama money to buy drugs. Cause he had a fear of what should would do TO get drugs..Its tough man

[@302F15]

RObert Waller very strange but, I seen when my cousin sold and his mother was a crack addict. She said if you are in MY HOUSE that shit you selling is mines to. So she finesse him daily. Sad Shit to see

[@302F15]

RObert Waller I feel ya 100% we where 16-17 yrd old though during the blue top era.

[@avalonsalina21]

I remember . It was sad to watch. He loved her . He really tried .

[@Neeshpeesh123]

Omg I remember this!! This when I really began to like him. He literally was like her parent and very responsible. He was so sweet to his mom and did his best as a son and I had nothing but respect for him after that. I thought I was the only one to watch that. It was a WHILE ago. Lol

[@toomuchworktorateappsmh3946]

That is something no one could understand. I watched that show & it hurt my soul. She controlled him because he loved her so much.

[@rayfromdabay3735]

Young Brotha sounds like he had it ROUGH!

[@firstnamelastname7386]

RayFromDa Bay, His momma put him through alot real life!

[@hdavis2237]

It's rough in our town BALTIMORE

[@keonta81]

Yea he could do a book on his life

[@tierraming7902]

So much pain in this young man’s heart. In his eyes. God bless him for being so strong. And God bless his mom for helping him focus on his purpose in this world. You can hear his pain in his music. Keep being a light to others Mario. It’s hard to talk about your pain so I commend you. Stay blessed. ♥️

[@latyshal.2286]

Wow...I never knew he went through all of that trauma as a child. He had a rough like growing up and I can relate. So, glad his talent of singing got him out of that environment and lifestyle. He's such an underrated singer. I hope he drops an EP or album and finally get the recognition he deserves. God bless him. 🙏❤

[@ritamix33]

this is heartbreaking. Mario is a strong individual to sit and be open about this.

[@wyeshawren]

Still one of the best 💯

[@aliyyaa431]

I just wanna give him a hug!!! I love him. He’s recovered so strongly from him experiences. ❤️❤️❤️

[@tweetybird7645]

Wow. Wonderful interview. You never know what people go through and just how similar people's stories can be.

[@LaBrittneyMeadow]

I use to be in love with him and his music as a teen. I remember his TV show. He sent his mom off rehab on one episode. He loved her sssooooo much.

[@thewholeyou]

He just keeps using us & our stories all while disrespecting/degrading us on the low. He has no emotion or respect for the pain he feels. Idc what drug his mom was on He still loved her unconditionally and he keep asking these intrusive ass questions and don't even stop to give his condolences but keeps digging more and more thru out the entire interview.

[@mujahidrashid1846]

Vlad: was the car accident in her home town Mario: yeah Vlad: (plays Boosie clip )

[@maclongwood4059]

😎

[@donad15]

STOP 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@LadyShaNellP89]

😂😂😂

[@JohnDoe-gc1kt]

Mujahid Rashid 😂😂😂

[@soldierofgod349]

Damn that was funny,salute to you bru 😎

[@Michael-qs1yd]

Mario is an interesting dude

[@mariawilliams8541]

He grew into his looks! good interview

[@mrsjoeyfamous]

You can tell he is wise beyond his years and has processed a lot of his childhood traumas.

[@ardanikahicks9590]

It’s absolutely sad how kids growing up in this environment block bad memories and trauma out and it’s something blank to them when they get older. I’m sure it’s a lot he doesn’t remember of his childhood. So many times he couldn’t remember years and how old he was when certain things happened. His mothers age at death he even mistook. I remember on the wire when oh boy crossed over he forgot his past with his friend before he got strung out. They go thru so much their lives pass at an unreal rate for a shorty and they don’t want to remember certain things or go thru too much shock they literally lose chunks of time! I pray for his heart and spirit. He looks like he has so much pain in his eyes!

[@user-tk7rl6hw6c]

That MTV special he had with his moms was sad

[@sassynj1264]

I Can Hear The Pain💯💯

[@janew.2839]

The heroin examples were not call for during this interview. This young man loved his mother and it was another way to get your point across.

[@mbackefalldaara5798]

He is a very mature man. Extremely insightful. Enjoyed the interview.

[@colbydion9542]

I hate that he is making him relive this!

[@heybookie4602]

@5:38 thank you Mario for elaborating about heroin in intelligent, articulate medical terms and giving us a more dignified, empathetic explanation of addiction instead of the horrible, gross, sadistic ridiculous mess the interviewer gave........you may continue..... Mario baby😍😘.

[@brooklynnikki478]

Always loved Mario! He had to deal with this stuff so young. He was blessed with an awesome amazing voice

[@aneesahthequeen]

😍❤️💙😍❤️💙He so strong minded and can tell he’s been in control of his life and destiny for a while... I know his mother is proud of him!

[@HighPriestessAngelique]

Bless you Mario, I hope all is well with you in love and life 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@lovelyIberia]

every time I see him I can’t stop myself from saguaro prayer for him. May God continue bless him and keep him safe from harm!

[@sophianewlevelunlocked3994]

I remember watching his reality show with him and his mom. U r a fighter.🖤💚💛

[@Shaunie1984.]

I have the upmost respect for Mario, he’s so genuine and real! I remember him performing at this club in Arlington Tx many many years ago and me and my friends went! I’m still a huge fan! May God continue to bless him 💕

[@carolalmeida6492]

Thank you for sharing your story. You are going to help a lot of people heal.I was a heroin addict for over 25 yrs and clean for the same amount of time.Your story helps me understand what my kids went through growing up in that environment.

[@davidg9282]

Heroin isnt any worse then sippin lean and popping pain pills! I salute anyone who's been able to successfully quit! If your struggling, get into a rehab program and find God. If you've ever been addicted to opiates, then you know the devil is real, give your life to Christ and on everything and anything he'll help you overcome addiction! I've been there, God is real, when my parents quit going to church after 20 years, boom, addicts agaib

[@vikeyshamurray7553]

David G naw

[@Accune]

Amen David

[@davidg9282]

Vikeysha Murray Naw what?

[@TheIntrovert83]

@Cloverdale Fentanyl is even worse than Heroin..

[@davidg9282]

Cloverdale General I was a Tar addict before also dipped n dabbed w Fent, trust me I been there G

[@hersheythebody]

My mom died when she was 45, but not from drugs. But to know what he had to go through, wow... heart broken!

[@jeffreyeverett6911]

Glad to see Mario is still around. Nice artist whos always seemed so down to earth.

[@jjsquirdlesupastar3875]

Mario is like everyones favorite rnb singer. My son is 16 years old and loves his music. He is so humble and has suffered alot of heartache. I only hope he is living his best life and he is happy and fulfilled

[@itallturnstodust1216]

This is deep

[@LegitMusic]

This dude is like chris rocks calmer twin lol

[@laurencameron3150]

Ray Mone I was about to say the same! He’s way more attractive!

[@ebonyessence8]

And the better looking twin

[@queenana9]

I love Mario. I always did. I longed for him to reboot his gift of song. His music helped to heal me during a very tragic time in my life. His beautiful soul came through the music. I’m glad that he has decided to come back. And, I hate that his mom never had the strength to recover. But, now she and he have the opportunity to move to the next level of existence in the world and the next.💜

[@noreenthomas5009]

I love your genuine, strong spirit.

[@oyindew55]

Vlad is so inappropriate with his questions

[@Ms10outta10]

Very!

[@naetiontv]

I can see the hurt in Mario’s eyes. I love his spirit💕🥺.He seems soooo sweet. Vlad really pissed me off with these questions 😑

[@youmadthotv]

Mario... you a powerful individual...I can see ya pain without you actually showing it... stay strong playa I hear you... keep on living life outside the negative...

[@brandondash4561]

The MOst Humblest Baltimore Guy Out Of The Whole City. #MuchRespect

[@cjayg.4553]

I can relate. Been a fan of Mario since he came out.

[@gregoryhollmond]

Good interview ready for more parts

[@walterclark3198]

My friend from my old job at stop n shop overdosed three times and I got him into a lot of programs. He's now clean and sober. But ultimately you can't help someone until they want to help themselves.

[@cristyluv1205]

So traumatic he doesn't remember certain things. Kids deserve better than this. If you're a shitty human be a childless shitty human

[@RisnAbuvRubies]

You're an OVERCOMER Mario!!! May the MOST High use you as a Vessel of Honor! Shalom

[@najiaismyworld2012]

That fade on point

[@stephanieladeinde3224]

Its really sad ..great entertainer ..I'm pray he comes back with good music

[@latoyanicole8325]

It just doesn’t seem like Vlad actually cared about the sensitive questions he was asking. It’s so much more that could’ve been asked or brought to awareness but Vlad is like “She was paralyzed for 2 years...ok. Well anyway what street did you grow up on?”

[@QueenP901.]

Mario has such a beautiful patient composure because VLAD is absolutely tacky and insensitive during these interviews. It's not so much about the questions he asks but it's the way that he asks them. I'm sure the celebrities know beforehand what type of questions he'll ask but damn could you word them better?????

[@JustDeJane]

Vlad is an incredibly insensitive interviewer 😡

[@brandyvaughn1]

He has a very soothing voice when he takes I love it and rip to his beautiful mother ❤💋

[@melfauntleroy]

This guy is a TERRIBLE interviewer!!! Completely insensitive like wtf?! Have some respect for his mother, Mario is beyond mature for keeping his cool

[@PastorBlessed1]

Damn this makes me sad & thankful at the same time! #weLuvMario 💗💗💗💗💗

[@nicoleh.6352]

I remember his documentary..he had to grow up really fast, him and his mother almost seemed like sister and brothers, he worried about her so much, wanted to her to get it together so bad....hopefully he's had therapy ...he really been through it..

[@hadbl12]

Everybody talk about weeds like it’s so innocent....

[@helgapataki4156]

If you're from Baltimore, you've been through & seen some things. Lord knows I have, but we are survivors 🙌🏽

[@jbusytaty3989]

love dis interview keep em coming

[@lashaydavis8593]

Mario really went though a lot. But thank God he was able to move past though dark periods in his life.

[@Lifted_6.2BlackOps901-rs9wg]

My 8th grade teacher read Dope Fiend in class, and after about day 3, somebody went home and ratted and she got in trouble. She came to class and went tf off!!!!😂😂😂😂

[@frankielogan9773]

My dad was a heroin addict. He passed about 2 years ago, I didn’t hate him. I made peace with him about 2 or 3 years before his death. I grew up always wondering why my dad never tried to come into my life. A little mad because I was he one my whole life that reached out to him and he just didn’t want anything to do with me. I just wish I realized that sooner in life so I could’ve saved me some heartbreak from wondering why. I made peace and let him know I never hated him and I always loved him. He told my uncle he felt like everyone hated him (I think he meant his kids). And i guess he was ashamed for not taking care of his responsibilities. Maybe the best thing he could’ve did for me was to be out if my life. He could’ve messed things up if he was present.

[@gigib6538]

I know. You are probably better off without him. Obama dad. Was a woman beater.. Obama probably wouldn't have became president if his father was in his LIFE. So no worries. You are not your parents. Design your own life and path with God's word and direction

[@adriamckinnon2006]

My heart goes out to you! She is your strength, her struggles strengthen you. Blessing she was able to walk again. I love your love for her. God has many blessings in store for you.

[@earljohnson1000]

I remember that MTV jawn with him & his mom. He gave he $50 for a bunny before rehab

[@2jcward]

Really?

[@tearrahramsey1986]

Yes I remember that yeap. But she had to or she would have been sick if she didn't get it. Heroine is the worse drug.

[@grind-n-find214]

Okay Vlad is reaching with this. Trying to get the man to tell his moms deepest shames.

[@shirleyconerly2724]

I love Mario......

[@SpursFanForLyfe100]

Shirley Conerly yes. That's my dude. Him & Marcus Houston

RD Jetz Lmmfao I'm dead 😂

[@krafti_cpt13]

Why would he put pee wee kirkland in the video it was a reach & ruined the flow of the interview

[@F_And]

Pee wee looks like Denzel's dad

[@707nicky9]

thought the title said "mom getting addicted to car accidents"

[@WalterWhyte]

Freedom Writers comes on tonight. Can't wait to watch it.

[@TM-ht9qp]

Ice on what channel

[@WalterWhyte]

T M well I'm poor so I don't have cable. I use a TV antenna. It comes on this channel called "Bounce" at 8pm.

[@AfricanGirl]

Ice 😂🤣 lol I'm right behind u n they stay repeating the same movies. BET 2.0 lol

[@WalterWhyte]

African Girl 😂😂😂 omm. They got some decent tv shows tho.

[@iMelanin]

That’s such a great movie!

[@natashiahills3367]

I’ve been where he is, trying to help/save your mom from drugs. Mom letting her “friends” come to the house and do their drug thing even though I lived there. I’m a lawyer but she didn’t care. I had to move out. I learned that you CANNOT save a person from themself.

[@Neeshpeesh123]

I wonder if he has a good woman in his life or a support system since his mom and gma gone 😔

[@Noirmariposa]

I understand how some feel there is a lack of empathy in these questions yet I have a feeling Mario approved these questions before. It seems he has something he’d like to say

[@kandiwiley5517]

I have always enjoyed Mario. He seems like a very grounded, decent dude. Vlad was looking for salacious details. I wish Mario the very best.

[@brooklynrose9206]

"Dopefeind" was crazy..If you haven't read that book..read it

[@imtyrone9407]

Lol around 7:00 when Vlad asked him if he dabbled in the street and he brings up when he was a kid and says they were selling weed and smoking cigarettes and "crazy" stuff like that lol. Not knocking him it's cool to not be street but he should have just said not really
