'Someone should be fired': Fans trash Verzuz for delays and bad sound in Omarion vs Mario R&B battle

Mario's biggest hit was 'Let Me Love You' which was released in 2004 and Omarion has two albums with some hard-hitting tracks

Verzuz announced on Saturday, June 18, that they will be taking a different approach by putting two R&B legends in a face-off — Omarion and Mario. Both the singers have dominated the scene and the announcement instantly sent their fans into a frenzy. The event which is live right now, can be streamed on YouTube, Triller, Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram. The event was graced by a pre-battle of Ray J & Bobby V vs. Pleasure P & Sammie. 

Taking place in Los Angeles, the event was scheduled for 6 p.m. PT/9 p.m. ET. Both Omarion and Mario are putting their discographies against each other which are rock solid. Mario's biggest hit was 'Let Me Love You' which was released in 2004 and Omarion has two albums with some hard-hitting tracks. The founders of this entertaining entity, Timbaland and Swizz Beatz, started this back in 2020 and have put legends in the same room such as Snoop Dogg and the late DMX, Raekwon and Ghostface Killah, Nelly and Ludacris, Method Man and Redman and Alicia Keys and John Legend, and many more.
