Mario Reacts To Usher’s 2024 BET Tribute

As The Shade Room previously reported, Usher received the prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2024 BET Awards on June 30 for his enduring musical legacy.

Earlier this week, TMZ caught Mario in Beverly Hills, California, and asked about his thoughts on the lineup and performances for the R&B legend’s BET Awards tribute.

“I thought it was great! I think the whole point was to have all women do it. It was a concept, and I think they killed it. All the girls killed it. It was fire. If it was dudes, then it would’ve been good. But the women — they killed it. All the ladies killed it,” Mario said.

While the performers were predominantly women, Mario mentioned that he would’ve gladly stepped in to honor Usher if BET had asked him to do so.

“Absolutely, I would’ve killed that. It would’ve been fire, fa’sho. I saw people tagging me and stuff, Mario continued.”

Social Media Reacts To The Singer’s Words

Mario’s statements sparked mixed reactions in The Shade Room comment section. Some Roomies felt the tribute was perfect, while others expressed a desire to see Mario hit the stage.

Instagram user @so_chelseaa wrote, “I agree!! Him, Chris, Neyo and Omarion 🔥” 

Instagram user @theecoldfox wrote, “Very classy response. Mario would have been a great choice.” 

While Instagram user @southernavenue wrote, “We really deserve a male only tribute. We want Mario, CB, Tank, Tyrese and Luke James. Please and thank you.” 

Then Instagram user @slaeyang wrote, “Im good with the talented ladies. You would think men would rather see that anyway. Let these women have their moment damn.”

Another Instagram user @therealriribaby wrote, “And Mario can SANG SANG too.” 

Instagram user @bigsash_a wrote, “He serenades women at his shows. The concept was for women to serenade him and the crowd while singing his songs …🤷🏾‍♀️” 

Lastly, Instagram user @aspenpink wrote, “I love how he gave the women their flowers with grace, his response was very generous and genuine 💐💐👑”
