Mario: Regards Brown’s arrest as 'unfortunate'

R&B star Mario, who has recently collaborated with Rihanna on the track "Emergency Room," is reacting to the recent charge against Chris Brown. On the set of "Extra," Mario commented, "I know Chris... I've never known him as being an abusive guy. It's very unfortunate. Nobody really knows all the details. But it's very unfortunate."

Sources have thrown more light on the news of Mario. As per their report Mario did not suspect any trouble between the two. "Yeah, I've seen them together out before. They seem like a really cool couple."

At the age of fifteen, Mario made his debut with the release of his musical album titled "Just a Friend 2002." It was produced by Warryn Campbell and it was based on rapper Biz Markie's hit "Just a Friend." His self-titled album followed in the month of July, thereby featuring contributions by Grammy-winning Alicia Keys.
