R&B singer Mario's mother called that police after he attacked her inside the apartment they share for the second time this week.
From The Baltimore Sun
At 12:53 a.m., an officer was dispatched to the 900 block of Fells St for a call for a "mental case breaking up property" inside an apartment. Officers met Shanita Hardaway in the front lobby - she was crying and appeared very upset, officers wrote. She said Mario was "throwing and damaging property" in the apartment they share, and had pushed her using his hands and forearms, causing minor pain. When police went up to the apartment, they found a damaged china cabinet and the floor littered with broken glass. A mirror was broken, and there was a large hole in a closet door.
She said it was the second such time he had put his hands on her in recent days - on Sept. 27, she said, they got into an argument in which he pushed her "eight feet into a living room wall, where Ms. Hardaway hit her head on the wall," police wrote in charging documents.
"When this officer asked the victim if she fears for her life in reference to her son's actions, the victim replied 'yes'," the officer wrote.
No word on what sparked either incident.

Oh boy
Maybe she wouldn't share her hit an he got mad.... Who knows who cares
I hope this is all false.
Apartment they "share"?
Mario: Ma, this is MY roof. I pay the bills. If you don't like what I'm doing, you can leave.
Mom: You're disrespectful. I'm still your mother.
I know he is a youngin but why is he still living with his mama? Oh and
FIRST SNITCHEZZZ!
Ooops not first =(
you would have done the same thing if yo' crackhead mama pawned your billboard awards...
Sins of the fathers....or in this case Mothers.
Wow, there definitely has to be some drugs involved in this. I saw a interview with him awhile ago where he talked about her drug use and addiction while he was growing up. He spoke how they were working on their relationship due to her drug use in the past. This is sad.
^^ co-sign w/12:25pm
He's been very public about this mother's addiction and his efforts to help her.
Sometimes, good deeds don't go unpunished so I'm gonna chill on this one.
I wish him all the best.

You ain't neva lied, back in my younger days my moms was a serious crackhead who did some real grimy s*it, needless to say after an altercation, I had to attend 3 months of anger management classes and her ass was locked up. so yeah when yo mom's is a crackhead and act like keisha cole's mom, you will have those moments when you are tempted to channel your inner Bruce Lee, "parents provoke not your children to wrath" and vice versa. he needs to get another place and cut ties with her till she fixes herself. you can't deal with a toxic parent on drugs. it eventually worked out for me and my mom. I banned her ass from my life for 3 years and moved to another state, she found jesus and is doing better, I have forgiven her and allowed her back in my life on the condition, she keep that jesus mess to herself. it took a lot of healing for us to move forward, but life is short and since she's no longer a crackhead stealing my s*it. we are now the best of friends.
Wow, that's really sad. I remember that MTV documentary he had. He was saying that his mom had a drug addiction and it made it difficult for them to get along. But why is he getting so angry? First a sound guy at a festival, now this?
We already know what this is about! SMH!!!!! And you know he is feed UP!!!!!!
Damn Mario. I think dude just got tired of her shit.
Crackhead or not he aint got no business CB'in his Mama!
I knew his nose was too wide for a reason- a bull ready to blow!
HE'S A BROKE RNB SINGER THATS WHY HE'S LIVING WIT HIS MAMMY.
AND I KNOW YALL AINT CO-SIGNING ON THIS MAN BEATING UP THIS WOMAN-FOR ANY MEANS ARE YALL??
SMDH WALKING OUT THE DOOR
I must have missed somethin cuz I didnt see anything that said he actually beat her. Crackheads will say and do anything, Mario probably goin come home to an empty apartment.
His Mother is a Super Duper Crack Head who refuses to Get Her life straight. I would HAD to kick her to the curb a long time ago. She straight up told Him She ain’t gonna even try to stop smokin’??!! WTF?
She either stole from Him, or dissed Him so bad He had to do something….
@ 12:12 I'm sure HE wasn't living with his mother...since she's a crackhead and has nothing. SHE was probably living with him and stealing his shit... sometimes you can't save everyone..even if it is your own mother
His mother needs to be put in a cage with Keyshia Cole's mother.
@12:47 PM, He could have killed her for all I care. I have no regard for drug addicts, whatsoever.
I take back my original 1:04 PM comment. He should have killed her. Happy Friday, and have a nice day, all.
Wow. I didn't know his mother had addiction issues.
Is he fucking his Mother? What could his Momma do to make him THAT angry? Something in the tea ain't right. I think they fucking.
@1:07 what the fuck is wrong with you? You must have fucked your mother to even think of something like that. WOW. FYI his mother is a crackhead OK. Now can you imagine what is mama might have done?
1:07 PM- It was televised on some reality type of TV show a few years ago, that she has issues with substance abuse, and that's how I got wind of it. She's a mess and has been that way for a long time. He probably doesn't know her to be any other way.
1:07 PM, You are so dumb. You are really dumb. For real.

CORRECTION, the above comment was meant for 1:07 PM #2.
I can't hep but wonder if his Mom is back on drugs again...and maybe she was stealing from him and thats why he got angry...It doesnt make it right but I would be able to understand why he did this....and where was that whore that he calls a GF Dez?????
lmao at "cb-ing his mama"
when was the last time this dude had a hit? i mean, other than last week...
maybe she commented on his demented, long-ass looking forehead and he snapped, who knows?
If she can't afford to make a living for herself she deserves to be on the streets of Baltimore, where she belongs.
This is the deal. Mom is back on the stuff and he(Mario) attempted to help her. She needs to be drug tested and her NA sponsor needs to come forward and report that momma has not been attending group. When it comes out that Mario was trying to save his mother all you ignorant mofos will just go hide. Drug addiction is life long and makes people include parents lose their minds. And yes, if she was getting out of control he was supposed to check her because if he didn't, the dealer on the corner would have clocked her but good.
Please, if his mama was living on the streets y'all would be the first ones saying Mario is ungrateful, cold-hearted, selfish, etc. The police probably took mama's word over his -- angry black man over innocent, abused older female, who would you believe? Some cases are clear cut, but considering Mario and his mom's history, this is something we should wait for ALL the facts on.
1:35 PM, Innocent older female? Please! She's a long-time junkie, and probably has her share of self-inflicted legal woes. I bet the local police know her by name.
@1:40
What I meant is what the situation saw when the police arrived. Mario just being a black male was probably guilty before they even took a statement. They probably THINK his mom is innocent which is why I said wait for all the facts to come out.
I would have no problem with him putting her ass out on the streets after several failed attempts to help her get her life together. He can't make her clean her life up. She has to want to do it on her own and put in the effort to do so, or she'll never get it together. She's likely perfectly happy doing what she wants, right or wrong, and is mad because he is trying to get her to stop. Some people just can't let it go.
Can Mario even fight
Dag,
I hope he goes before a Judge today....
Otherwise, he'll have to say in lock up all weekend.
AND
He needs to get home with the quickness before his Crackhead Mother sells his IPAD, DVD Player 40 inch TV, etc.
She should be coming down right about now, guilty as hell cause she caused him to be locked up.
She'll need another hit. FAST
say=STAY
Does he know who his father is, or is he a product of her dirty deeds?
at 12:53 in da mornin,he probably caught her in his house hookin some nigga up for some crack.i'm sure he still sees her as his "mama" so maybe thats why he aint gave her ass the boot.she really needs to git help,and HE really needs to address that hairline,cuz it's in the early stages of receding.
She better hope his ass gets bail too b/c if they live on Fells St that's in Fells Point and I know good and damn well her ass can't afford to pay the rent/mortgage out there. I bet her dumb ass didn't think of that when she got him arrested. Talking about an apt they share, yea right she know her ass live with him.
..U GET NO RESPECT,PUSSY ASS NIGGA!! I SAW THAT LAME ASS SHIT U POSTED!TALKING THAT SHIT"IF I KNEW WHO U WERE".U THE MUFFAKKA TRYING TO GET PEOPLE TO CLICK ON YOUR LOSER ASS WEBSITE SO U CAN PAY YOUR BILLS!U THE MUFFAKKA THAT SAY THE CORNIEST SHIT OUT OF EVERY POST ON HERE!CHANGE YOUR NAME,KILL YOURSELF AND COME BACK AS SOMEBODY ELSE..MAYBE YOU'LL GET SOME RESPECT.TILL THEN...LICK ASS BITCH NIGGA
i remember them talking about her issues on Tyra and how he took care of her when she would be messed up from the age of 5...they both agreed that their roles of parent/child had been reversed...he's a really sweet guy and the only way i could see him snapping was if she relapsed...
oh......ok.
I had to read the orginal article.
The Bail/Bond was for $50,000, which he posted, and he was immediatly released.
I noticed he didn't give a statement as to why he tore his OWN apartment up.
His Mom must have been doing something she shouldn't been doing and he got upset.
Since when is it a crime for you to tear up your own apartment ???
I remember back in the day, when my uncle shot a hole in the tv Screen with his 45.
All the Police did was laugh and say "hey it's your TV, do whatever you want to it"
Nowdays everything is a damm charge.
Crackhead or no he knows what the hell she is and how much he could take. He should have kicked her to the curb. Her screwed up deeds and fucked up existence isn't an excuse for beating her ass. At the very least he should have kicked her out the 1st time he snapped and put his hands on her.
My mom has a fucked up existence and for since I was a teenager until 2 years ago I tried to help her, be support to her, talk to her. Finally, she went over the line and hit me and though I wanted to plant one in her face, I walked the fuck out and have not spoke her since. When I feel I can handle her shit without becoming violent, I will attempt to have a relationship with her, but right now that's not in the cards because I still want to put a boot in her ass.
All the same mom and dad's (or anyone's for that matter) is no reason to strike anyone. ESPECIALLY if you are striking first. Get rid of their dysfunctional asses a keep it moving. That's why we got so much violence in our society right now.
"All the same mom and dad's (or anyone's for that matter) is no reason to strike anyone."
Correction
All the same mom, dad's or anyone else's fuckery is no reason to strike anyone.
Sorry long day.
Keep in mind that the article says she accused him of putting his hands on her, and that she didn't report the first incident. She gotta show some bruises or come up with some witnesses if she wants a case.
She's a crackhead? Aw a crackhead will steal your last damn dry ass biscuit and try and sell it for some crack. I know my uncle is a recovering crackhead. He struggles not to fall back in, but that crap will fugg a nigga mind all up.
this is some sad ghetto shit,yeah she has been
on that stuff for years and Mario has been
tryin to hold her down...but shit happens.
I dont agree with his touching her,couldnt he
hav left or somethin....but who knows...she
on crack and he closeted gay...so that house
is a bomb waitin to explode.
His momma's a crackhead? Case is closed. She deserved it.
Its one thing to yell at your mother but taking it to his level of brutality he is wrong.
Shame on Mario
while he's locked up,she's got access to ALL his shit!!
These R&B Singers are lookin for Blood aint they?
Speaking of druggies...when does the K-Ci and Jo Jo sobriety show air?
The reason they share an "apartment"... is cuz moms probably smoked the house.
2:36, I know that wasn't supposed to be funny, but I died laughing at (how you wrote) your post!
But seriously, I hope you do eventually form a relationship with your mother again. I know it's difficult dealing with a parent that has issues, especially when you don't, and you are trying to help and they just absolutely refuse. You have to walk away from them and allow them seek change within themselves. I went through the same thing with my stepgrandfather. He's gone now, but I'm glad he got sober and we had the chance to reconnect again.
He prolly beat that azz. The cops prolly saw one beat down crackhead.
Mario, I love your voice, but if you can't get your mama a little room in a rowhouse in Baltimore somewhere, you better fire your lawyer, agent, manager AND ACCOUNTANT. Oh, and please take the advice of 2:36 pm.
Damn this is sad.

DITTO! Mario, take it from someone who takes NO CRAP FROM ANYONE. LET MAMA GO! When you end up in jail it's a WRAP! You've been a good guy, don't let that trash of a mother drag you down--CUT THE B/I/T/C/H Loose like yesterday.
actually, his mother is not a crackhead, she is a an intravenous heroin abuser. which, statistically and behaviorally, is worse than being a crack addict. and i should know, my mother and my uncle are dope fiends. whatever he did to her, i'm sure she had coming. my mother is the most fucked up individual on the planet. she has stolen money and jewelry from me numerous times, as well as taken my children to drug spots (back when she had us fooled into thinking she was in-recovery; rest assured she will never be unsupervised with them again); she has stolen my sister's car, money which she needed to feed and diaper my niece, and her clothes; she has stolen money and clothes from my brother; she has stolen money, jewelry, electronics, household items, etc. from her own parents. but still- she actually has the nerve to take an attitude with all of us like she does no wrong and can't understand why the world is out to get her. if mario's mom is anything like mine (and she is, based on the mtv documentary they did showing his attempts to get her treatment), she deserved everything he did and then some. he needs to cut her ass off for good and let her be the dirty street person she wants to be.

@7:23, I was going to point that out, crackheads and heroin addicts are entirely different. He didn't hit her. Even she said he was pushing her. She probably was trying to get out to go score. You know those dealers probably have her doing everything and bragging that it's "Mario's mother". I feel sorry for him. His grandmother raised him. Sometimes you have to let people just what they are going to do and not drag you down with them.
Sounds like they were BOTH arguing over dope. The apple don't fall from the tree.
Mama needs her own place.
Wow.
I remember a while ago he was talking about his mom had a drug addition. Man he needs to clam down and step back because this is making him look bad.
It comes to a point, if his momma is going to a path where drugs making her lose her common sense. Then he needs to LET HER GO! She will learn the hard way!
CHRIS ROCK JR. SHOULD HAVE PUT HER ARSE IN REHAB!!!!!!!!
^^^
I agree.
@ 10:14 and 12:37-
he HAS put her in rehab before. obviously, it didn't work. you know why? because she cannot be helped if she does not WANT help. and furthermore, it's really not his responsibility to put her anywhere. she is a grown ass woman who makes her own fucked up decisions regarding her life. my grandmother must have spent hundreds of thousands of dollars of her hard-earned money flying my mother all over the country and into various in-patient facilities. my mother is still a dope fiend. you can't want help for them, they have to want it for themselves!
phANONmenal b
@ 8:21-
i feel sorry for him, too. my grandmother also raised me, and i know what it feels like to have people talking about the nasty, low things my mother does/has done to get her fix. it must be that much harder for him considering that he's higher profile, and still in maryland. that state is only but so big. he really needs to wash his hands of her until she can get her life together on her own, and can show with action and not just say with words, that she is serious about living clean.
