In today’s polarized society, you can get backlash for dating outside of your race, and Mario is the latest person to have to sit on that throne.


The R&B singer recently went on Instagram to show off his new girlfriend. In the video, the woman is shown in the passenger seat of the car with a big smile on her face, with two heart emojis at the top. Mario also has the song “The Sweetest Thing” playing in the video.


Some social media users had a few things to say about the video, mostly because it looks like Mario is dating outside his race.

“He should’ve played “MAKING MY WAY DOWNTOWN” not no Lauryn Hill ohhhhhhh the disrespect,” one user said.


“This just made him 10x unattractive,” one user said.

“European society really did a number on Black men brainwashing them [to] think white is the standard of beauty,” another user said.

Over the years, Mario has been rumored to be involved with women such as Nicole Ricca in 2007 and Tinashe in 2019, whom he claimed were just friends going on dinner dates.

Other than that, it seems as if the singer keeps his dating life to himself which isn’t a bad idea after seeing all the drama that can come from being in the spotlight.

    1. So glad my African American husband did! Been married in an interracial relationship for twenty years with two beautiful children…who are YOU listening to to get your super out dated racist information from?

      1. I dont think it’s racist! We,have too many beautiful black women, why go white. It’s like black men think white women are a prize that they have won. I bet Johnathan Majors is giving his choice a second thought after he was found guilty although it seem as if SHE WAS THE VIOLENT ONE! Don’t forget, you are still black brother! The white girl will always be the victim 😦

        1. It was a black female that filed complaint against the black actor Jason Mitchell that got him fired from “The Chi” and got him blackball from the movie industry!
          Bringing down black men is something white & black women have in common!

      2. You got lucky and he stupid black women are beautiful and black men should see it white women are trophy to them trust he cheated on u the whole time

    2. Shame on u for fueling such a devilish hatred towards another person! U don’t know HER or how she makes him feel about himself! Skin color isn’t a characteristic of a good hearted person.. OBVIOUSLY! Orgerwise your vile ignorance would represent everyone that shares YOUR skin tone… GOD DONT LIKE UGLY so he must really be disappointed in U!

  1. Who DF cares…it’s not like any of yall had a chance with him. Just worry about who you choose to date and procreate with. I know my children are black and I love black but you can’t push your ideology onto everyone. It seems desperate and very pick me-ish. Just focus on the men who appreciate you and move on. I knew his preference when he made that song about his mom(a dark skinned black woman) and chose a biracial(light skinned woman) to portray her. What does it change about your life and circumstances. STFU

  2. Its sad cause the ones with an issue with it are just as bad as the raciest white people NO difference. Who cares what race anyone dates IF they are happy.

    1. Ain’t your business! Personally I do not believe in integration. So I would NEVER do it. That’s my business. His business is HIS business!!! He can date a rattle snake if he wants too.

  3. why is it bad for them?
    THEY LOVE WHO THEY WANT TO LOVE , LOVE HAS NO COLOR , WHEN YOU GET DONE TALKING, I GUEESS YOU WANT TO BE WITH HIM?
