R&B star Omarion has spoken out after fellow singer Mario made headlines for critiquing his vocals as “hit or miss.”
The comment came during Mario’s recent appearance on the Funky Friday Podcast, where the “Let Me Love You” singer was asked about Omarion’s artistry. “Omarion, it be hit or miss for me sometimes,” Mario said, sparking conversation among fans about the two singers’ long-running professional tension.
During an interview with Sway Calloway, Omarion responded to the remarks, calling the conversation “wild” and stressing the importance of respect among artists.
“It’s not by chance,” Omarion said. “It’s by hard work. I’ve been doing this a long time. For me, it’s all about respect — especially from someone who came after me.”
When asked if he would ever collaborate with Mario following the comments, Omarion made it clear he’s not interested. “I’d rather step back,” he admitted. “I don’t think there’s respect there.”
This isn’t the first time the two have been compared. Omarion and Mario infamously battled in 2022’s VERZUZ, where their vocal performances became a major talking point online.
“I’ve worked hard for my name and my career,” Omarion emphasized. “Everyone’s entitled to their opinion, but there’s a way to do it with respect.”
