Mario Wilds Out At Rochester MusicFest?

Jul 25 | by YBF

According to a source at 103.9 WDKX radio station in Rochester, New York, R&B singer Mario completely lost his cool while performing yesterday. Read on for the deets...

A while back we reported that while Mario partied it up with his new attention whoring boo, Dez, cocktails glasses were thrown and she was hit in the head.

Now Mario has made the news again. Yesterday the City of Rochester held the 16th Annual Rochester MusicFest, which featured Anthony Hamilton, Jaheim, Dru Hill, Mario and other special guests. Our source says that he apparently went past the time allowed for his performance, so the sound engineer cut the power and turned on the lights. But instead of exiting the stage like a normal performer, Mario did not hesitate to take his beef up with the sound man. He allegedly punched the sound engineer and nearly knocked him off the stage.

Was all that necessary? Dude you went over your time limit. This is one R&B crooner that stays fighting. Mario was eventually escorted out of the Blue Cross Arena by security. When did it become cool for an R&B dude to fight all the damn time?

Well I understand him getting upset for just cutting him off thats unprofessional and I'm sure the fans were angry as well, but for him to punch the sound man?? dude calm down He's not even that big of an artist to be acting like a diva, I don't like this new turn he took..now he's all cocky and think he's cute ..when clearly he isn't...my opinion

All I can say is, dude needs

All I can say is, dude needs a nose job because all I see when i look at his face is two big black holes staring back at me. It's like I can look straight up his nostrils to dude's brain. Fix it! Seriously why are his nostrils facing front like that. No one in his camp thinks that should be addressed? Not cute!

I've seen him in shows in

I've seen him in shows in Bmore perform and if the crowd is really feeling him he will go over the time limit to please the crowd. He puts on an excellent show. Just sad how he handled the situation. i hope this wasn't for attention... He just hasn't been right since he got with that ho Dez.

Him hooking up with Dez is

Him hooking up with Dez is the WORST thing that could have happened to him. He has a beautiful voice and I like his music but ever since he started claiming this chick he has gone down hill. So sad.... Maybe he is trying to get himself talked about. But honey you were better off having no publicity, seeming like a positive good guy with the potential to sing great R&B with loyal fans than hooking up with a ho, not putting out any new GOOD music and coming off as an angry loser!

After Dru Hill & Jaheim's

After Dru Hill & Jaheim's performance...which was a MESS...the least they could have did was let Mario finish his! He was actually doing a great job & the crowd was feeling him, so out of courtesy to the concert goers the sound man could of at least waited to he was done with the song. It was rude & unprofessional how it was done. Mario was wrong how he responded, but anyone in his sitauation would have been mad. Then after all that ....we STILL had to wait for Anthony Hamilton's crew to set up. The whole concert was a mess...the sound system was the worse.

Mario. The next Luther? Are you kiddding me? Mario cannot even be mentioned in the same breath as a legend like Mr Vandross. Mario cannot sing that well anyway. He is destroying what lmeager career he has left. He never was a superstar to start.He like some of the other D listers like to date/etc video slut, strippers or whatever these skanks are calling thmselves. Loser!

Damn Mario dun fell way off.

Damn Mario dun fell way off. Dating his managers ex plus an ex stripper, dissing his fans on his twitter over the broad. Then getting martini glasses threw at u and ur chick at a club. Now fighting the sound engineer on stage at a washed up concert because ur time was up. Haha poor Mario he went from being a young up coming singer to a washed up teen star trying to stay relevant. His music career is over that's why he been parading that duck looking chick around wanting attention. I feel sorry for him!

singer it's odd but if he was a rapper it would seem.... normal. The stereotypes for these artist are just that. So because youre a singer youre suppose to act a certain way (not hard) and because youre a rapper youre suppose to act a certain way (hard) One word Thank You to @Anonymous who just posted with that info. Now that sounds true. Was he out of hand for his reaction yes but I understand where he was coming from. Ive been to plenty of shows where they either start late or they give other artists the go ahead to do certain things while others

I used to like Mario, and he has a few song that I enjoy, but I will not buy his music because he disappointed me by hooking up with that girl. She don't come from nothing so she can't teach him nothing. It is so disappointing to watch his career going down the tubes. Mario lose that zero and watch your career grow again.

Let me set the record

Let me set the record straight...... i was at the show..... to say he went over his time is unfair seeing as they started an hour late...... let Dru Hill stay on as long as they wanted.....let Jahiem parade thru the audience...all Mario asked was that they turn up the speakers on the stage.....he had only done 2 or 3 songs before the house lights came up...... YES he was dead wrong for cutting the fool, but to only let him do a few songs WAS also WRONG and to say he cut the fool because he went past his allotted time was unfair...... THEY started late (an hour to be exact) so should've let eveyone get more time.....

your right. he is talented

your right. he is talented and been in the game for a long time. without his parents. he was taken advantage of by his manager and some of the people around him so i can see why he is a bit angry and bitter. but, he is talented. if he sits down for a min. get the right people around him...he will be fine.

I don't understand how he became irrelevant. Last I heard, they young man had videos and was on DWTS.. But I wonder what happened that his career got stalled.

I thought he was going to be the next Luther.

Well maybe the engineer hit him first, maybe the eginer flirted with Deez, Maybe he is from the islands, ( u know how dem islanders are violent) maybe he gave him herpes when he handed him the mike. Yeah i know i sounds ridiculous but i thought so too when it was use to defend CB. Yeah bitches this is my opinion like u have urs so deal wid it.

And I guess your comment

And I guess your comment proves that an islander can take your mindset and say "you know how those Americans are ignorant as all hell" - opinions are like assholes, so everyone has one, but it's always a good idea to have INTELLIGENT opinions. Get your mind out of the Willie Lynch-like mentality and stop succumbing to stereotypes. It's so ridiculous to have to say this, but newsflash: Not all islanders are violent. Not all ANYTHING are ANYTHING, and to believe otherwise is proof of a lazy mind. Back to the post: Mario is highly irrelevant. Dude needs to take it easy, take some time off, and come back fresh.
