His mother is a dope fiend heroin addict who stole his belongings and started selling his property and her body for some rocks. It is what it is, years of putting up with her crap made him do the dam thang.

This is another disappointing incident for the Rap and R&B communities R&B singer Mario allegedly assaulting his own mother. And with the recent arrest of T.I and his wife Tiny too its been a bad few months in terms of headlines for urban music industry. Mario`s an incredibly talented R&B singer, he has a great voice and has produced some hot R&B albums and Mario`s music videos are awesome too but that still does not place him or any other famous artist above the law. Hopefully there has been some misunderstanding here so I will not make any judgements until we know more about the situation but at the moment it certainly does not look good. Lets hope that this situation is resolved real quick for everyones benefit.

He came home and found that not only was she back on drugs but she has sold all his stuff out the house!!! He snapped out as he should have. I don't condone violence but that situation is very sad

Ok, maybe she was a drug addict, but he knew that, and he knew there was the possibility she would steal from him, that's what drug addicts do. Under no circumstances do you put your hands on a woman, especially when that woman is your mother. He should not have taken the law into his own hands...
