Omarion Accuses Mario of Disrespect Over Vocal Critique

In November 2025, R&B singer Omarion addressed comments made by his fellow artist Mario regarding his vocal performance. During a recent interview, Omarion expressed that he does not detect any "respect" from Mario, who had previously assessed Omarion's vocals as "hit or miss."

Omarion believes that when artists critique each other, they should also look inward. He stated that "art is art" and that factors like experience and life circumstances should be considered. Omarion suggested that he is unwilling to work with Mario in the future due to the perceived lack of respect, especially since Omarion has been in the industry longer.

These comments come after Mario's appearance on a podcast in October 2025, where he was asked to evaluate the singing abilities of various artists, including Omarion. Mario had said that Omarion's vocals "be hit or miss" for him at times. Omarion now believes this critique lacked the necessary respect, particularly given his own lengthy career in the music industry.
