It’s been four years since Mario has released a new album and now he’s ready to make an impact on the charts once again with his upcoming project, inspired by the last few years of his life. Back in 2010, things got kind of crazy for Mario after he hooked up with his manager’s ex-girlfriend Dez (who was also best friends with Amber Rose at the time), and the two carried out a very public relationship that lasted a few months, before going their separate ways.
In a recent interview with Cocoa Fab, Mario described the relationship as a ‘Fatal Distraction’ while revealing that it was inspiration for his upcoming album, due out later this year.
Peep the highlights:
On the new album:
This album is a bit darker but they are still love songs. It’s me dealing with a woman and love loss or love gained. One of my favorite songs is called ‘Fatal Distraction.’ Everybody has heard about a fatal attraction but we decided to do it differently. The record is about wanting something so bad and not being able to have it the way you want it and having that be a distraction to you.
On if he’s had a fatal distraction:
Yeah I have. Wow. It was my ex-manager’s ex-girlfriend. So it was a really bad situation. And that sort of influenced this song a little bit.
On if she off limits because she was your manager’s ex-girlfriend at the time
At the time it was off limits. We knew each other for a long time and that influenced me. I was in a vey rebellious place in my life and I wasn’t using my head properly. It was fatal distraction. Looking back, that’s something I will never do again because as a man no matter how good the temptation may be it’s something I’ll never do again.
I think we always want what we can’t have. Until we get it, and then you realize it wasn’t for you in the first place.
On if he’s ever been ‘Somebody Else’ [the other man] in a relationship
I’ve always been the somebody else. Most of my relationships– and I’ve changed my frequency a bit—but a lot of the women I met a year or two years ago, they were either just getting out of a relationship or they are looking to get out of the relationship that they were currently in. So I’ve definitely been somebodies’ somebody else. And I’ve had situations where I’ve dated a girl and things didn’t work out and she leaves, then comes back. It’s all about what you put into the situation. Every cause has an effect. So it’s just the way the universe works out. You have to think about your decision because you’ll see the results in four of five months.
On if he wants to be in love or if he’s happy just dating
At this point in my life, I’m not really looking to be in love. My theory is that it takes two people to be in love and being in love is an agreement that you both make. Right now I’m looking to have really great relationships. Not just sexual or intimate relationships because that naturally happens, but relationships that are beneficial to growth, emotionally and spiritually and physically. I like having cool chicks around me. My perception of women has changed over the past three years. Because of the way I grew up, my perception of women was distorted and I think as a young man of color sometimes your upbringing can distort your view of women and you have to work to correct that. Being 26 now, I see life in a different way. I’m not looking to have one-on-one relationships, I’m looking to have a plethora of good healthy relationships that could possibly lead to something more serious in the future.
