AceShowbiz - Mario just wanted to introduce his girlfriend to the world, but not everyone was happy with it. The "Let Me Love You" crooner was accused of being "allergic" to black women after he shared a video of his lady on social media.
The 37-year-old posted the clip on Instagram Story. In the footage, his girlfriend could be seen sitting in the passenger seat of his car while flashing a big smile.
The woman's racial background remains unconfirmed. However, many people on Instagram were quick to attack Mario over his dating decision. "These n***as are really allergic to BW," one person opined, while another wrote, "Of course, and he be out here, pretending like he love black women."
A third added, "Lol I never seen Mario with a black woman. I don't know why y'all are surprised [laughing emoji]. He seems like he only likes beckys." Someone else chimed in, "they refuse to get a BLACK woman lol."
While Mario has yet to respond to the criticism, some users came to his defense. "Why do everyone make it about color damn do we not care about personality anymore I'm pretty sure when he met her he didnt say ooo white women let me talk to her !! Maybe her vibes was right and she made him feel good inside and it's didn't matter if she was purple .. uugh I hate that people confine themselves smfh that's why love is dead now because it comes with to many stipulations," one person argued. Another penned, "PEOPLE GOTTA FIND LOVE WHERE THEY CAN."
Romance aside, Mario recently sparked debate after declaring that he deserves a spot along with Beyonce Knowles, Michael Jackson, Usher and Whitney Houston on R&B's Mt. Rushmore. Asked by TMZ in an October interview about who he would place on the list, he said, "Beyonce, Michael Jackson, me."
"You know why I say that? Hold on. I grew up listening to so many different types of music - my mother and my grandmother - so I got like two generations of soul music, just great R&B," he explained. The singer later added Whitney and Usher to the list.
