still love Mario no matter what. he's an excellent artist and supreme talent

[@KingBigCle32]

Fan love ❤

[@Anti_Social_Yoyo90]

Facts Facts Facts😂

[@pareeshaslaughter6798]

Yes but it seems like he's lazy with his roll outs and standing out period. I understand he has emanse talent but what about breaking new barriers as the decades change? Will he just release more R&B or will he collab and do what needs to be done to stand out and really get his name going in the future.....LIKE BEYONCE 🐝🐝🐝🐝 NOT COMPARING AT ALL.....just noticing a lack in work ethic.

[@dalewilson2034]

💯

[@courvoisier9129]

@@pareeshaslaughter6798Mario is one that just stayed true to his talent. He wasn’t much of a dancer or entertainer like everybody else. He’s more of a singer. He’s had collabs but it seems as though he’s trying something new with the direction and people just aren’t gravitating to it.

[@imsodank1]

Mario deserves his flowers. His vocals are unmatched. Much love and respect to this King

[@CierraSalleyHinds]

Mario I am THRISTY for an album! RnB needs you and them flawless vocals❤️

[@djsketchomatic]

"Sometimes things happen FOR you....not TO you." outstanding conversation with Mario.

[@bettyjackson-steward3493]

I recently had the opportunity to see Mario in concert in Rancho Cucamonga, CA. He was with Robin Thick, Neo, and Boys II Men. Mario’s performance and presence is so memorable for me, to this day. He was absolutely sensational. I really enjoyed him.

[@sashasleightv_]

“thinking about you” is a HIT!!! big boy knows wtf going on fr! cause when Mario sung that on verzuz, i’ve had it on repeat since then 😫

[@alisagrant1134]

I knew this young man was special the first time I heard him. I’m old enough to be his mother, but I loved his voice and bought his album to support him. His voice has definitely matured like Brandy. I supported her first album and others. I’m happy to see Mario is still making music; truly talented.

[@yolieyoliyo]

Same, old enough to be his mother, but knew he was special from the beginning and have loved and supported his music since then. He is a talented young man and it is a joy to see him in a good place and thriving. My daughter is 30, but knows his songs because Mario was one of my go to artists for safe lyrics in the car. Good music is timeless.

[@alisagrant1134]

@@yolieyoliyo I only listen to a few of Mario’s songs these days. Most of his music is a bit too “grown” for me these days. Therefore, I was careful not to say that I continue to buy his music to support him. I recognize that his vocal abilities have gotten better as they should. He’s a grown man now and I would think he had vocal training.

[@Nordic_E.T.]

I saw Mario in the Bay Area perform and He did his thing. Literally sounds like his album. Voice intact and he is handsome. Big Ups to Mario. His Vip section with the girl was crazy!! 😂😂

[@sakeynaledbetter2236]

He got the cutest smile. He make interviews look so easy.

[@jalesapeterson1977]

Mario is always humble. He will always be my man, my man ❤

[@jessicajanene2001]

this man has such a beautiful mindset and aura, i love the way he talks !!!! i love me some mario!!!! this was a great interview, he’s so multitalented

[@kissmycheekz]

Trying so hard not to tear listening to this interview talkin bout his mom and grandma ...knowing he can do that without tearing is amazing

[@nolanrosen8769]

Big Boy is the best interviewer I have seen. His ability to come up with questions on the spot and ask questions that truly matter and that everyone would want to know the answer to is a talent and a gift that he solely has. His videos deserve millions of views. I watched the Steph Curry interview and I was blown away how amazing it was, Big Boy really asks questions that make Steph seem like an actual human like how he asked “are you ever just like wow Im Steph Curry” or “If you could give a ring to one player who doesnt have one who would that be”. I wish Big Boy will keep getting big time stars like Curry on his interviews because he is greatly under appreciated. BIG BOY YOU HAVE A GIFT FOR THIS

[@timothyrice9969]

[@shanycehenley6079]

My granny passed away when I was 13 and she kept the family together too. It is still painful to this day and I'm 35 now. I understand how that can change your mentality of life it is really hard.

[@raheemtheinvestor]

Feels like a therapy session and I’m here for it 🙏🏽🙏🏽😮😢

[@AnitaLewis-bc1ec]

[@Justin11897]

Very grateful for this interview 🙏 so glad I watched it cause I could relate so much w/ grandma passing (mine passed on Jan. 1st) and her being the glue in the family and also having someone u loved dearly overdosing and what not.

[@1Sakks0]

I enjoyed this one so much! I'm happy we cleared up the name thing because I was thinking about before he said it. I wish Mario would dance more like he used to. I wonder if he still likes dancing. My favorite movie will ALWAYS be Freedom Writers.

[@MusicLover-cv9gp]

Great interview, Love Mario, have always been a fan. His music definitely stands the test of time. Classics cross color lines, age, classism and everything in between. Mario is a Legend
