Chile, last night’s R&B VERZUZ Battle between Mario and Omarion was certainly one for the books! Mario was on his Big Bad R&B Boy ish and clearly got under O’s skin. Also, that pre-show featuring Ray-J, Bobby V, Sammie and Pleasure P was a mess! Get it all inside…
”You can’t spell Omarion without Mario!” Chile, the R&B VERZUZ Battle between Mario and Omarion – hosted by comedian Deray Davis – was LIKE THAT!
Oh yes, the guys were in their bag last night with hilarious banter. And who knew Mario was THIS much of a troll? The “Just A Friend” singer was giving it to O the entire night! At first, Mario started off humble, giving O his flowers before the B2K leader switched up the energy. He was on demon time, so Mario came him that and more.
Mario came out so humble.. then he saw Omarion wasn’t on that energy.
He’s been choosing violence ever since. #VERZUZ pic.twitter.com/cCbvXLoWBs

Hitting the stage at The Novo Theater in downtown Los Angles, Mario, 35, and Omarion, 37, battled it out track-for-track, serenading the audience and music lovers at home with their early 2000s hits. We’re not sure if Mario got into O’s head or not, but O didn’t seem to be on his game as tight as Mario was. And it was evident.
As R&B heads said on social media, this was MARIO’s CONCERT:
When you wake up and re-watch this, you instantly feel the second hand embarrassment for Omarion.
Mario COOKED him. ROASTED him. DRAGGED him. #Verzuz has the ability to elevate and expose artists. https://t.co/vLMTpw0FOx

Mario had the audience sing his song “Crying Out For Me” to Omarion:
Mario having the crowd sing while grinning in Omarion’s face is some anime villain level shit that I can respect #Verzuz pic.twitter.com/rv10Xl8Pfj

O appeared bothered:

The jokes about O’s singing were NON-stop. Mario called O a “dancing lil n****” a few times during the show before he called O a terrible singer and said he needed some MILK! OMG! He mentioned he never wanted to be that “raggedy a** Millennium Tour” and said he was David Ruffin while everyone else was the Temptations. Listen, Mario would not get off of O’s NECK!
Omarion brought out his brother, O’Ryan, and PROPS to seduce the crowd. Watermelon to be exact:
I’m just trying to understand…WHAT WAS THE REASON OMARION?! O’RYAN?! WATERMELON?!? Hits running low?! #VERZUZ pic.twitter.com/Ly2ZvvISRw

We’re not sure why this happened, but Mario was not feeling them eating “watermelonn coo****” on stage.

O also brought out singers Jeremih and Tank to assist. Mario clowned Jeremih’s vocals (which were bad) and then he joined Tank in a riff-challenge. Check it below:

Oh, and the pre-show to the R&B battle was just as crazy. Singers Ray J, Bobby V, Sammie, and Pleasure P were the opening acts and it likely was the most chaotic mini battle ever.

The next morning:
Mario was STILL trolling Omarion, clowning him over the way he bodied him during the Verzuz.
L-O-L
Omarion’s B2K bandmates J-Boog, Raz-B and Fizz also woke up and chose violence, clowning O over his Verzuz “L”:
Womp.

We should have known this was going to be some foolery based on the promo skits:
