Mario has gone shirtless. And for a good cause. He’s rocking with PETA these days and is saying Ink It instead of Mink’ing It: …Mario talks about learning the ugly truth about cruelty in fashion and why he chooses not to wear any fur. “Every piece of fur that you see out there and people wearing, there’s an animal [who's] lost … his or her life.” This realization prompted him not just to give up wearing fur but also to pass up opportunities to profit from the suffering of animals. In the video, he tells us, “I’ve been offered deals to wear fur … for tour and for stage.” But Mario proves with this ad that he’d rather go shirtless than steal the skin of a beautiful animal.

Nice. News on Plies and the fab offer he made a high school senior girl when you read the rest….
So this past weekend, Plies hit the stage at the Jingle Ball concert in Atlanta. And instead of just making it rain and talking about all his many Bust It Babies….he gave a high school senior a rain-worthy Christmas present. He brought this teen girl up on stage and told her he was going to pay her way through college. I wonder if she has automatic admission into his sorority he’s trying to get set up on campuses as well. Good for Plies.
Wed, December 30, 2009 1:42 PM
It’s always nice to see people giving back.
Wed, December 30, 2009 1:46 PM
Nice Plies!
Wed, December 30, 2009 1:47 PM
That was nice of Plies.
Mario won’t wear fur, but what about the cow that was murdered to make the leather belt he’s wearing?
Wed, December 30, 2009 1:53 PM
Plies has way to much intelligence to be rapping about extreme nonsense. I am glad he did something most rappers don’t even think to do.
Wed, December 30, 2009 1:54 PM
Ummmm.. I couldn’t understand a word plies said and I’m from the south! yikes!! Can we at least try to enunciate!!
Wed, December 30, 2009 1:54 PM
Jingle BASH…
Yeah I heard about Plies doin that but he still gets a side-eye from me. He’s a walking talking contradiction. At the show I heard he said, “These muthafuckas told me there wouldn’t be any muthafuckin minors at this show.” Then proceeded to perform “Becky”. He gives money to young girls to further their education but then he calls women “bust it babies”. Yeah it’s admirable what he’s tryna do, but to me it seems like hush money for his misogyny…
Wed, December 30, 2009 2:02 PM
I bet you Mario eat him some meat.. I mean what’s the difference If you don’t wear fur but you eat cow, pig, chicken, etc.. Either way you still kill an animal.. I’m just Saying
Wed, December 30, 2009 2:05 PM
Ok, I think its just me but i don’t get the whole peta promotion mess. I understand that its setup to save animals or what not, but lets get real. Most of these people that pledge not to wear fur are the same ones that are eating hamburges, ham, chicken, and other types of animals. If you gon go hard for one animal why not go hard for the others that you consume. I think this is a joke and i don’t take it serious because its bull, just like the whole mick vick situation. True he was in the wrong, but jail time.
Wed, December 30, 2009 2:05 PM
as much as i dislike his music (plies) this is kindness at its best!
well done, sir.
Wed, December 30, 2009 2:06 PM
lol
Wed, December 30, 2009 2:06 PM
That’s what I’m saying he even went to college but he dropped out.. I bet you he is so smart.. Also at FAMU’s Homecoming concert he gave $1,000 to a little girl.. He can be a positive person when he want to a lot of Rappers can
Wed, December 30, 2009 2:08 PM
rather he is a walking talking contradiction he just did something that most rappers wont do Jayz 50 cent Nas Snoop and Lil Wayne i have never heard of them doing something like this its smalll but will change this young ladys life forever if she takes advantage rather he performs becky or not thats his music and if the parents copped the ticket then oh well and please people stop letting celebs influence ur children mayb if u take the time out of ur busy schedule u’ll become their role model that is all
i just hate when people pull negative out of something positive damn side eye to u
Wed, December 30, 2009 2:08 PM
oh, & as far as the peta ad…
ya’ll notice how the women in those ads always have to be Bucket Naked, but apparently men get some drawers & a pair of jeans.
hm….
Wed, December 30, 2009 2:09 PM
That was real good look for Plies. His music is ignorant as hell but that was real cool of him.
Mario is lookin’ kinda right in that PETA pic!
Wed, December 30, 2009 2:13 PM
PETA is here to stop individuals to stop killing animals for clothing and that is all….its not a vegan or vegetarian organization they just dont want animals killed so we humans can wear them .its 2009 and we can manufacture our own fur and leather goods rather mario eats a burger while doing this photo shoot does not make him fake its a specific cause and that is all ya are a mess laughing at ya
Wed, December 30, 2009 2:13 PM
Mink, ink, whatever, Mario is looking good. I had kinda given up on him after seeing the extra fat he was sporting just a few months ago. Now THIS is my cup of tea!
Not sure what to say about Plies. He’s one of the few people who can make a sex act sound really crude and stomach-turning… lol. Good for him helping that girl out, though. That’s one less person held hostage by Sallie Mae :-)
Kind of a side note but I just noticed that whenever I use my Macbook (Safari) I can log on to this website pretty quickly but whenever I use my PC (Internet Explorer) it takes forever and a day cause I get a thousand error messages. Don’t know why… This ought to be Natasha’s new year resolution: get a bigger server to meet our needs!
Wed, December 30, 2009 2:17 PM
there is a difference, between killing animals to eat and use whats left for other products. to kill an animal just for the fur and treat inhuman in the process in unacceptable. that is what they are saying about fur. the animals body is trashed. bible tell is killing for sport is wrong, and if you are killing it to to eat that is different. these animals don’t have to be mistreated because of our likes and wants. if they could talk them i am sure they would. seeing that that isn’t the case we need more people standing up for them. if you kick a dog it barks or whine. that means it feels pain, so why sit back and watch them be mistreat or used for profit or selfish reasons. that is what i get from this not that we should eat meat, cheese, or drink milk. you guys are over thinking what the overall message is.
Wed, December 30, 2009 2:19 PM
that should say “the bible tells us that killing for sport.”
Wed, December 30, 2009 2:25 PM
I have a 5 year old son and I would NEVER allow him to disrespect and degrade women as vehemently as Plies does. Like I said it’s ADMIRABLE what he did, but that doesn’t excuse the fact that he constantly spews misogyny like it’s nothing. That’s like a man abusing his woman then taking her on a shopping spree. “Yeah he whooped my ass but look what he did for me”. To me Plies is sending an ass backward message, as most of these rappers are. But whatever. I don’t buy/support his music. You have your opinion and I have mine. But you get a side-eye too for thinking can’t nobody say shit about that man. Fuck outta here lol
Wed, December 30, 2009 2:26 PM
Is that a leather belt he’s wearing? Hmmmm
Please note that most of the meat you eat, the animals are treated inhumane. So no matter what you do with it after the animal is dead, the animal still went through a lot.
Yes, I eat meat… and you would never see me in a PETA ad. One, I’m not a celebrity and two, I personally don’t believe in their extreme measures.
But uh, whatever floats your boat Mario! :)
Wed, December 30, 2009 2:30 PM
Can we just give Mario and Plies props for doing good??? Dang why all the hate… Good lookin Mario and Plies
Wed, December 30, 2009 2:31 PM
Not the same….. HHEELLLLLLOOOOO – BURGERS!
Wed, December 30, 2009 2:31 PM

A dead animal is a dead animal. SO WHAT???
Wed, December 30, 2009 2:32 PM
That’s actually incorrect. PETA focuses its attention on the four areas in which the largest numbers of animals suffer the most intensely for the longest periods of time: on factory farms, in laboratories, in the clothing trade, and in the entertainment industry. We also work on a variety of other issues, including the cruel killing of beavers, birds and other “pests,” and the abuse of backyard dogs.
Remember the whole Obama killing the fly on TV and PETA wrote a press release condemning his actions.. Yea, PETA focus on a number of issues pertaining the killing of animals. PETA members are primarily vegan and/or vegetarians.
Wed, December 30, 2009 2:34 PM
Hello ybf readers I know this has nothing to do with the post but I need some serious advice on this matter.
For the past three years I have been doing sexual favors for my boss in exchange I get longer lunches, longer
vacation time and I go on all the business trips along side of him. The sad part about this is he is a married
man with two kids and another on the way(his wife is so in love with him and we actually get along pretty well).
We have been having uprotced sex the whole time but I have not gotten pregnante by this man. I also am in a
relatopnship we have been together for two years and he has no idea what is going on he is also the farher of my child.
I have wanted to call this off but my boss tells me if I do I will lose all of the things i have earned and i don’t want that to hapen.
What should I do? Countine to fulfill his needs and keep everything I have earned? or call it off and lose what i have earned?
Please tell me what I should do.
Wed, December 30, 2009 2:35 PM
please note I copied that piece from the PETA site.. so there is no We, it’s They. lol
I eat meat… and I have leather bags/belts/etc.
Wed, December 30, 2009 2:37 PM
Unfortunately, if Plies was taking the Mos Def, Kwali and Common route, no one would care…nor would he get any burn on the radio and therefore have no money to do the types of things he’s doing. It’s sad in music when you feel you have to talk ignorantly to get money. And while I don’t like what he talks about, I do respect that he gives back. That’s more than most.
Wed, December 30, 2009 2:37 PM
i think it was nice of plies to do that, i’m not a plies fan but i think that was nice.
most rappers have organizations that provide services to the inner city youth or the disadvantage and most of the time you’ll never hear about it unless they do something real major or get in trouble with the law.
i think snoop has his football tournaments and leagues that he sponsors every year out in cali. . .I THINK!
i’ve never heard of any rapper just give out money on stage but they do have foundations and the like that will give money or equipment away.
not all rappers are heartless bastards, sitting in their mansions saying “fuk you, i got mine!”. . .MOST of them do give back but to the media it isn’t newsworthy. *shrugs* that’s the way it is. . .in order to be in the news. . .you have to die in this war, be Barack Obama, go to jail for a year or be married to SWSRN!

Wed, December 30, 2009 3:08 PM
Are you serious?! You need to start looking for a new job asap! I don’t even know why you would put yourself in that kinda position in the first place? Haven’t you been reading the YBF’s posts regarding Alicia Keys and Gabby Union? You must not have, cause you wouldn’t be coming in here asking for that kinda advice. Girl, ur guaranteed to get cussed out by the people on here. Imma be nice though and tell you to get yourself a new job. How any self-respecting female could stoop so low is beyond me. The fact that u know and get along well with his wife is shameful. Dang! Its about to be a new year, get urself together. Talk about sleeping your way to the top… Sheesh! No amount of perks in the world could get me to sleep with my boss. Where is your pride? Come on, now! Get ur act together! Ri-damn-diculous, I tell ya!

THis is called:
quid pro quo – Definition [kwĭd́ prō kwṓ]
Quid pro quo derives from the Latin meaing “something for something.” It refers to getting one thing in return for another thing, an even exchange
To be very honest with you, there is only one thing that you can do.
If you stop doing favors and all of the things that you have accomplished are taken away, that means you need documentation. Second, everyone will have to fine out that you have been engaging in inappropriate behavior with your boss. It may cost him is family and job as well as yours. this is a lose lose situation. I for one can not believe that you allowed yourself to be put in such a situation. FOR LONGER LUNCHES, ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS? VACTION? WHAT PLANET ARE YOU FROM? TRAVELING WITH HIM ISN’T MONEY IN YOUR POCKET THAT IS JUST GETTING EXTRA MILES ON THE COOTER METER.
All you can do if you don’t want everyone to know, suck that shit up take it as a lose. ***singing ” No you can’t always get what you wa-ont” SMH!!!!
Wed, December 30, 2009 3:09 PM
thats whats Plies is showin there are still good people out Man kepp up the work my hat is off to yah
Wed, December 30, 2009 3:09 PM
Smh, the hell.
Not ignorance, but ignorance of ignorance, is the death of knowledge. Put on your thinking cap gurl! You haven’t “earned” anything your boss has! It’s senseless and majorly stupid, to willing give of yourself on a promise that CAN & WILL be broken at anytime you decide to decline! The only thing you’ve “earned” is a first class ho ticket, a “worn out back” and continual heartbreaks to come. Realize, You need to consider how YOUR actions are not only hurting HIS family, but also yours. What goes around comes around. At this point you end to hand in your 2 week notice and flee this situation before it FLEES you, cause eventually it will! And that will be even if you still want to indudgle….because 9 times out of 10, someone else in the department more than likely is doing the thing.
Wed, December 30, 2009 3:09 PM
I guess they didn’t catch that one. Shame on you PETA! And cant just be onesided and protest fur! Leather is an animal too! Tsk, Tsk…Sidenote: Sittin over here with my leather suede shoes and leather LV bag. lol
Wed, December 30, 2009 3:09 PM
honey fuck accidental pregenancy, there are diseases out there that have no cure. if you don’t care about your health at least care about your partner. it’s not fair for him to get burnt by your wrong doing.
Wed, December 30, 2009 3:10 PM
I swear I was just thinking the same thing.
Wed, December 30, 2009 3:19 PM

Wed, December 30, 2009 3:47 PM
WHAT IS REALLY GOOD WITH THE CHICK THATS BONING HER BOSS?? Girl its very simple. Get a f’ing LAWYER. A little thing call sexual harassment…screw that job, and STOP screwing your boss. Unprotected sex is a no-no too doll…dont be jobless AND catch “the package” messing around with nekid head.
Wed, December 30, 2009 3:55 PM
Those rappers you named give back in many ways. For instance, 50 did something last month for single mothers…it was some type of contest and he gave 3 of them 10 g’s each…he has the G-Unity foundation as well. Wayne does alot in New Orleans as far as helping to rebuild. Snoop is donating the profits of one of his songs to a community center in Long Beach, not to mention the football team he coaches…for free. He’s a mentor to some young black men who don’t have a man around, that’s priceless. I’m sure the others you named give back but you just don’t know about it.
Wed, December 30, 2009 4:09 PM
I read all of you guys comment and seeing it from a different view what I am doing is dumb and dangergous. I will be looking for a another job and drop him. I will also confess to my boyfriend everything that I have been doing to him (hopefully he will find a way in his heart to forgive me.) I just want to thank everyone for all the advice and this well not happen anymore going into the New Year.
Wed, December 30, 2009 4:18 PM
You asked for it…you are a simple bitch. You just revealed that you are fucking your married boss for longer lunches!!!! Are you fucking kidding me? Longer vacations and business trips!!!! If you’re gonna fuck your married boss, cheat on your man, AND put extra mileage on your pussy…he should be cutting you some SERIOUS checks so you can save up for that vaginal rejuvenation you’re gonna need soon. But NO amount of money can give you back the respect you’ve lost for yourself…that’s priceless. If you lose your job, you can’t take the long vacations and lunches with you, DAMN! If you’re gonna be a hoe, at least be a paid hoe. The boss is the only one getting something out of this deal boo boo, you are FUCKED…literally! Then have the audacity to say you get along well with his pregnant wife??? OMG, you are pathetic! Unprotected sex, WTF?!?!?! That is fucking disgusting! Did I mention you’re a simple bitch??? You have yourself to blame for this shitty situation you’re in, now you wanna ask for help?!?! Bitch please. I wish his wife would find out and bust yo shit, just for being such a phony and grimy bitch. Smiling and laughing up in her face, then after she leaves you run to her husband’s office and suck his dick…nasty ass. I mean I’m not an angel, but I can tell you that I’ve NEVER fucked a married man and wish a bitch would fuck with mine. I’d cut her ass to the white meat. At the end of the day, you are an overworked and underpaid HOE so play your position and STFU! Coming on this blog asking for help, bitch please.

Wed, December 30, 2009 4:34 PM
yeah a lot of those rappers do a lot of philanthropic work Jay-z especially gives back to brooklyn through education projects. Plies isnt the only! so just because it isn’t highly publicized doesn’t mean that big rappers don’t give back.
Wed, December 30, 2009 4:34 PM
LISTEN PEOPLE IM SORRY YALL ARE GETTING ALL WORKED UP OVER THIS FALSE LETTER. THIS LITTLE SISTER WHO IS ONLY 18 ONLY WORKED AT FAST FOOD NEVER THAN A MONTH. SHE IS JUST BORED WAITING TO LEAVE FOR SCHOOL. I AM TRULY SORRY THAT YALL GOT OVER SILLY PRANKS TRY LIVING WITH HER. IF YOU EVER SEE A COMMENT LIKE THIS AGAIN MOST LIKELY IT IS HER. AND AGAIN I AM SORRY FOR MY SICKEN LITTLE SISTER
Wed, December 30, 2009 4:35 PM
AAaaaawwww! what Plies did was nice. maybe he could pay for me when I go to college too?
I love to eat meat. I don’t see thw problem as long as u don’t torture the animals. I don’t think u should kill cute animals like kittens and puppies but cows and pigs and chicken are ok. also why is he wearing clothes when the women are always naked? that is such a double standard. I wanted to see his cute booty naked!!!!! LOL
Wed, December 30, 2009 4:38 PM
OH WOW! WHAT TO BELIEVE
Wed, December 30, 2009 4:48 PM
HELP eeewwww!!!
OMG that is so nasty. is he at least cute? maybe you should secretly video tape it and blackmail him. then u could make him do favors for u LOL
Wed, December 30, 2009 4:50 PM
Ok, I was about to get real pissed that we were still on this post….but, dammit if you ain’t had me rolling on the floor with this here!!!!! LMBAO!!!!!
Wed, December 30, 2009 5:00 PM
I was about to say the same thing, why are they so willing to exploit the women, but cover up the men. No who is gonna throw some salt in their game about exploitation? Where are the feminist groups when you need them?
Wed, December 30, 2009 5:02 PM
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHA OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG SO WELL SAID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HIGH FIVE GIRL… SHE CANT BE SERIOUS???? SHE JUST CANT BE!!!!!!!!! THIS IS THE CHERRY ON TOP OF THIS CRAZY ASS YEAR I SWEAR!!!!!! ROTFL
Wed, December 30, 2009 5:22 PM
OK I want to see more toooo.
Plies, I thought I read on here that he was in jail or going to jail. Oh well I guess he call his self giving back wit his little potty mouth.
Wed, December 30, 2009 5:33 PM
Girl I was about to say the same damn thing!! She couldnt have seen a Gabby or A.Keyes post!!! These chicks on here would dig into her some serious!! lol I won’t judge her but all I will say is do you boo!!!
Wed, December 30, 2009 5:39 PM
Get a lawyer for what???? I’m sure its consensual!!!
Wed, December 30, 2009 5:42 PM
Not too fond of his lyrics but I love how he gives back! And Im with whoever said that he is wayyyy too smart for some of his lyrics. Thats just the way the game goes. I mean think about it, Ples records will always bump on the radion more than a Will Smith one. Just Sayin!!!
As for PETA….DO YOU..THAT IS ALL. I like the ad though. Mario is looking too sexy!!!
Wed, December 30, 2009 5:48 PM
who care if u ink mink or shit
Wed, December 30, 2009 5:52 PM
@HELP
You are OFFICIALLY A SLAVE. A LOVE SLAVE, AND THAT SUCKS.
PERSONALLY I WOULD QUIT.
Wed, December 30, 2009 5:55 PM
I have always liked Plies. You can tell how much he adores women through his lyrics. He’s the best. He needs to drop a new CD. Ashanti and he are good together.
Wed, December 30, 2009 6:01 PM
PETA is an extremist cult. That is all.
Wed, December 30, 2009 6:06 PM
I totally agree with you! But don’t expect a lot of people on here to agree with you. Only a few of us think beyond our selves.
Wed, December 30, 2009 6:27 PM
Love your self more, find a good church and Jesus. Honey remember you reap what you sow, and one day the shoe is going to be on the other foot. Get out now and ask God to forgive you, and realize selling your body (yup, that is what you are doing) for longer lunches and vacation time is simply not worth it. If you need longer lunches and more paid vacation find a better job that will give you all of that minus the disgrace.
Wed, December 30, 2009 6:41 PM
Mario..YUM YUM…He’s is such a sweetie, despite his upbringing, he has turned out to be a PHINE Young man!!! As far as Plies….There are many rappers that are educated. Lucris-Although he has not completed his degree, he was Sophmore majoring in Mass Communications.. Common attended college shortly but dropped out, David Banner (dropped out of Grad School), Master P, Paul Wall went but dropped out, Talib Kweli, Mos Def, Rick Ross, Rich Boy went and dropped out. Plies, graduated with an Associates Degree, David Banner is close to a Masters Degree (One of the most educated rappers in the business right now). And Dorrough : Ice Cream Paintjob-One Hit wonder has decided to go back to school and finish his education, with his hit last year/summer.
Now the question for me is why do rappers have to “dumb-down” their education and not use it for real to inspire youth? I KNOW…..THAT’S NOT WHAT WHITE MUSIC EXEC’S WHAT YOUNG BLACK PEOPLE OR PEOPLE IN GENERAL TO HEAR!!!
Wed, December 30, 2009 6:47 PM
@ rated_X_32: Girl you read my damned mind like a book with your advice….All I have to say girl is that you are the REAL TRUTH and I would gut a bish for doing the same to my husband. He works with a lot of Latina’s and I feel you. I trust my husband with my world. We made an agreement, if we feel like we got to cheat then it’s got to be over. Why get married? I don’t understand Cheetah Tiger Woods, Kobe, Shaq and all these men with money…why get married when you can have all the chicks in the world?
Anywho…..Happy Holidays YBF People from the West Coast/Oakland to Brooklyn, NYC and everyone in between and OC (Out the Country)…I am on my way back to Vegas tonight for 2010! Please be safe and don’t drink and drive!!!
PEACE AND HAIR GREASE 2010!
Wed, December 30, 2009 6:48 PM
I dont see how he contradicted himself. The girl was 18 and thats not a minor so there was nothing wrong with him saying there wasn’t going to be any minors there and he doesnt call women in general bust it babies. Everybody is not a bust it baby just like everybody is not a hoe. The hoes and bust it babies know who they are. Sooo I dont see the problem. That was very generous of him.
Wed, December 30, 2009 7:01 PM
I had a feeling that simple post was fake. I mean, how are you just going to jack this section for your own craziness anyway(but that’s beside my point). I just though it sounded like a bunch a rubbish. Get a life to the poster…silly rabbit tricks are for kids.

DAMN!!! I just clicked on this story expecting the usual jokes and comments about Mario and PETA, but I end up coming to CHUUCH!!! All I know is, as far as the woman sleeping with her boss, get that $#!t together with the QUICKNESS!!!! Between Alicia Keys/Swizz Beatz/Mashonda drama, Gabrielle Union drama, Chris Brown/Rihanna drama, Teddy Riley drama, Tiger Woods drama, Mary J. Blige and “S#!tzu” drama….2009 needs to leave now!!!! And I think this female with the boss possibly wanting to give her a damn “package” she isn’t expecting just tops it all off. SMGDH!!! Lawd, lawd, lawd. Let 2010 bring peace and serenity after the storm that was 2009. AMEN! NEXT!!!

1) Mario: looking gud bruh, I certainly enjoyed looking at this ad. Nobel apsirations and I admire that your heart was in the right place inspire of the belt and wheather you are a meater.
2) Plies: really is an intelligent dude. I think he actaully has a conscious about the impact his music has on kids and his actions demonstrate that. I just wish he wouldn’t rap like his name is Buckwheat and speak in interviews as though he’s Cornell West. It’s okay if you really aren’t a Goon. You could just be a good dude who is smart, business savvy and can rhyme his *ss off all at the same time. That’s still considered keeping it real. Lupe, Kid Cudi, and Drake all illustrate that hip hop fans like a variety of lyrical content.

Now hold up now,college is expensive as hell for 4 years.
Wed, December 30, 2009 7:58 PM
How old are you? Cuz obviously you do not have a lick of common sense. Is it really worth going thru all this subtrafuge just to get a few perks from your boss? And him losing his family? And you risking getting an STD? Now you tell me what you think you should do? SMDH!!!
Wed, December 30, 2009 8:04 PM
LMAO!!!! POSTING THIS ONE ON MY FACEBOOK!!!! LMAO!!!
Wed, December 30, 2009 8:21 PM
OK, WELL, I THINK ITS NICE THING FOR PLIES TO GIVE THE GIRL MONEY FOR COLLEGE. I MEAN, INSTEAD OF MAKING IT RAIN, HE MADE A DIFFERENCE!!!
Wed, December 30, 2009 8:37 PM
I was in the audiance wishing i was 12!!!! lol
but this is why im in love with plies…at least he’s giving back as much as he can to his fans!
Wed, December 30, 2009 8:49 PM
LMAO – LMAO!!! You said it RIGHT!!! LOL
Wed, December 30, 2009 9:00 PM
Your comment was so funny that I had to read it again and why did I do that? I started laughing soooo hard that I thought I was going to have a heart attack (joking). That ish tickled me to death!!!! I really couldn’t stop laughing for quite some time! Today wasn’t the best day, but YOU made my night! Thank you! LMAO
Wed, December 30, 2009 9:01 PM

AS FAR AS PETA GOES IDK? NEVER WAS BIG ON WEARING FUR, I’M SORRY THAT THESE ANIMALS ARE GETTING KILLED, BUT I LOVE EATING MEAT WHAT!!! ESPECIALLY WHEN IT’S SEASONED RIGHT.I TRIED TO THE VEGETARIAN AND THE VEGAN THING, BUT DIDN’T WORK OUT, BUT GOOD LUCK TO YOU ALL WHO STAND FOR ANIMAL RIGHTS.
AS FAR AS PLIES IT’S GOOD THAT HE CONTINUES TO GIVE BACK,BUT I HOPE HE HAS THE RIGHT INTENTIONS.

YOU BETTER STOOOOOP! LMFAOOOOOO
Wed, December 30, 2009 9:58 PM
I can’t stand PETA! Everyone is allowed to make a choice and you can’t force your views or opinions on other people who disagree with you. Promoting tattoos is not a good look Mario, but whatever.
Good for Plies and the young lady. This story needs to be highlighted on the news and BET. I’m sure it will not end up on the news or BET, but it should.

You asked for it…you are a simple bitch. You just revealed that you are fucking your married boss for longer lunches!!!! Are you fucking kidding me? Longer vacations and business trips!!!! If you’re gonna fuck your married boss, cheat on your man, AND put extra mileage on your pussy…he should be cutting you some SERIOUS checks so you can save up for that vaginal rejuvenation you’re gonna need soon. But NO amount of money can give you back the respect you’ve lost for yourself…that’s priceless. If you lose your job, you can’t take the long vacations and lunches with you, DAMN! If you’re gonna be a hoe, at least be a paid hoe. The boss is the only one getting something out of this deal boo boo, you are FUCKED…literally! Then have the audacity to say you get along well with his pregnant wife??? OMG, you are pathetic! Unprotected sex, WTF?!?!?! That is fucking disgusting! Did I mention you’re a simple bitch??? You have yourself to blame for this shitty situation you’re in, now you wanna ask for help?!?! Bitch please. I wish his wife would find out and bust yo shit, just for being such a phony and grimy bitch. Smiling and laughing up in her face, then after she leaves you run to her husband’s office and suck his dick…nasty ass. I mean I’m not an angel, but I can tell you that I’ve NEVER fucked a married man and wish a bitch would fuck with mine. I’d cut her ass to the white meat. At the end of the day, you are an overworked and underpaid HOE so play your position and STFU! Coming on this blog asking for help, bitch please.
Dang, that’s what I was gonna say lol
This was funny… Even if that post was fake :l0l:

I DESPISE people who wear fur – and they are truly nice/good people anyway.
My grandmother wore fur… Awful woman.
Wed, December 30, 2009 10:20 PM
I would actually say you are really really stupid, but I will remove one of the “Really” since you take the time to post this mess. I think you should get down on your knees and start asking God for forgiveness. You need to LEAVE this married man alone, and it seems as if you want to get pregnant for him. Girl, leave the man alone and go jump off some bridge.
Wed, December 30, 2009 10:21 PM
I meant “they NEVER are truly nice/good people”.
Wed, December 30, 2009 10:29 PM
OMG. Both of these posts really excited me. First of all Mario, you gotta go NAKED for fur honey. I am one of your biggest fans and I’m not even groupy-ish. I hope other rappers follow Plies footsteps. Rappers need to pay for more important things than BIG AZZ CHAINS. SMH. Thanks Plies. Keep up the good work!
Wed, December 30, 2009 11:22 PM
He is always giving back. Great job!
Wed, December 30, 2009 11:55 PM
I love animals dnt get me wrong but I’m guessing PETA saves only .01% of the animal population with this campaign but am glad mario is taking the time to do something positive. I’m also glad to see plies also doing positive things showing that it’s better to b educated than to be a bust it baby…I am still amazed at how well he speaks compared to the way he raps
Thu, December 31, 2009 12:25 AM
Naw he hit that after the show thats his boo now…whats next a lexus??>
Thu, December 31, 2009 3:11 AM
ok first off@them peta fools most animals that are used for fur are not extinct animals!2,how long has peta been around??? years ago when all the white moviestars and presidents wives and any other filthy rich white person wor fur it was oooo so beautyful now since black folks start wearing it now here comes peta well i say to hell with them if you like fur and can afford to buy it then where it!!!
Thu, December 31, 2009 4:54 AM
i was going to say mario looks dumb! what’s all the hairs on his chest supposed to mean?please!i never saw a more disgusting -looking shirtlesness in my whole, entire life before.he sure ain’t sixteen no more but growing up don’t look so cute on him! singing ish with that voodoo…thing has certainly left a very bad smear on him as far as i am concerned.please,are there no shirtless pixs of chris breezy to start the new year with?its certainly an emergency!
Thu, December 31, 2009 5:01 AM
the lady who wants out from the bondage of doing her boss for favours should gear herself up for a tough time ahead!.busting ties with the devil is not going to earn u an immediate award or a nobel prize. but if u follow through, u will reap such benefits…u will be an example for others to follow! and in due course u would be rewarded.
don’t trade away ur life for holidays, longer lunches or hours or whatever! its not worth it!
don’t make ur boss ur God!and above all…don’t u pray?believe in God?
i mean…talk to Him!and ur/a pastor…u can trust!we’ll be praying for u to make the right decision.love,natchah.
Thu, December 31, 2009 7:37 AM
He is a entertainer!! Rappers say it all the time, just because they rap about it doesn’t necesarily mean they have done it or believe in it. Maybe when he was young & just starting out he live what he said in his lyrics but people do grow up!!! Unfortunately in his business though, his fans already were use to what he started rapping about so he can’t really change or he would lose money!!! So now that he has grown up his outlook is obviously different!! I am not a Plies fan but I am not gonna knock his hustle. He has earned my respect for him as a man, not his music because I live in Florida & he is in Tampa all the time and he goes on the radio just about everytime he is here and gives money away to single mothers, people who are struggling, what he did at FAMU homecoming for the little girl. He does things like that all the time so people need to stop just thinking a man is his music. No that is his business, he is making his money they way he knows how and if he has such a HUGE following that likes what he is talking about, I wouldn’t change my raps either shit!!!
Thu, December 31, 2009 8:16 AM
The problem is the waste. Animals Killed for fur are not consumed. No one is telling you to go vegan but what is the point in wraping yourself in the flesh of an animal?
Thu, December 31, 2009 8:26 AM
1) You are and idiot through and through, seriously
2) Two words LAW SUIT. He is your boss, this is sexual harrasment, he’s married, he will settle out of court.
3) Seriously seek therapy for your low self esteem… really
Thu, December 31, 2009 9:17 AM
Is it just me or does Mario have on a leather belt in the ad?
Thu, December 31, 2009 9:56 AM
All respect due to Mario in regards to him not wearing Fur, but just in case he does not know as well as others, as I see so many that have/are getting Tats (Tattoo), check out Leviticus 19:28.
Pass the knowledge on, Please!
Thu, December 31, 2009 9:58 AM
Good for Plies, but why is that girl dressed like that?!
Thu, December 31, 2009 10:01 AM
damn, i cant even hate on plies for that one. i used to think he was wack but sending someone to exceeds any cheesy rap lyrics he puts out! i think other rappers should take notes.

So PETA is a group of psychotic hypocrites. See here. http://www.petakillsanimals.com/ for details. But I do stand 100% behind the No Fur movement. Many other animal rights groups fight for this and its not just a PETA thing, so I wish some of the other groups would do advertisment with celebrities, cause it does make them look like hypocrites since most of the celebs eat meat or own pets and PETA doesn’t believe in doing ANYTHING to animals. Yes that means not even owning them.
And for those that do not understand, yes there is a HUGE difference with traping, breeding in small cages, killing, anally electorcuting and skinning alive a wild animal for just its fur and not using any other piece of the animal compared to humanely raising domesticated animals, humanely dispatcing the animal and using it for food. Food. Something humans need rather than tons of fur which we’ve created other means of clothing since the freaking Ice Age.
The realism is that humans will no time soon never eat meat, but fur is uncessary. I’m actually excited to see a Black Celeb showing their support for the cause against Fur cause so many in the industry are ignorant to the fact. <3 You Mario!

Plies lyrics in his U HEARD OF ME song off the da Realist album “dropped out of college…aint earn my degree…but at my bank…they love me”…
he didnt graduate which was dumb cuz he had a football scholarship…but school isnt for everyone….he is fortunate enough to have made something of himself without having a formal education…..He always gives back at his concerts (not always but a lot of times) because he wants to thank his supporters who put money in his pockets…typically its for ppl to put money on an incarcerated loved one’s books but he recognizes the importance of education…So I commend him for this….

funny you said that, I follow Plies on twitter (@goonaffiliated) and last week not only did he call fans (including myself) on xmas if we posted or DM’d him our numbers but a few days prior, someone sent him a msg claiming their mother needed surgery but didnt have insurance and asked him for help. NOw I thought that was very bold to just ask like that but Plies actually responded for the guy to send him his info…(Plies started following fans when he first joined twitter, so 4,000 of us can DM him if we want)…so the guy did and Im assuming if its legit Plies will help….I think that kinda shit is admirable…I know he once said its not his place to figure out if a person is tellin him the truth or not but I personally would, LOL….but at the same time, he’s gonna be blessed for being so generous….
Not all of his songs are about f**kin women…off his 2nd album Somebody Loves You was a very touching song..a lady even called a radio station in tampa to give him props on it last year…and while she was speaking she asked him to pray for her cuz she lost her job, her fiance and was en route to an interview…he got her info off the air and was gonna give her what he had in his wallet at the time…the radio ppl were shocked cuz they said they had way bigger artist on their show who NEVER once did that…now we all know ppl like Luda/David Banner, etc give back too…so this isnt to take away from them…its just a shame that plies is most noted for dumb shit, than the positive…

i feel you but at least he’s trying!
Sat, January 2, 2010 6:12 PM
you guys do understand that it takes hundreds of small animals to make a fur coat and only one cow to make hundreds of belts, right?
that’s the point that PETA is trying to make. one cow can go a long way for food and clothing materials. hundreds of minks are killed and skinned to make one coat.
Mon, January 4, 2010 12:06 AM
Thank you, PETA, for that Mario ad!! And good work Plies!! Two sexy men on the same post…LIKE IT!!
Mon, January 4, 2010 11:02 AM
I HOPE THAT’S NOT A LEATHER BELT THAT MARIO IS WEARING…
