No one told us a camera man was shooting my set. I got to the show 10 min before my performance and went on stage,\u201d he wrote. He added that seeing the cameraman repeatedly in his peripheral vision distracted him, and at one point he nearly tripped over a speaker trying to avoid him. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\t\u201cA camera man is not supposed to be that far down stage unless he’s with you and shooting you that close for a reason. It really can throw you off. In the midst of all of that while walking back stage right, I got frustrated and that’s when I said, \u2018Yo you gotta get the fk off the stage.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve performed under all types of circumstances. I\u2019m a very professional person through and through. Anybody who works with me knows that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\tHe also extended a personal apology to the cameraman, identified as Ryan Hudgins. \u201cTo the camera man, you got caught in the cross fire my boi and I’m sorry u had to experience that! It was nothing personal. You’re welcomed to come and shoot me on tour it will be \u2018Nothing But Us\u2019 tour and we can do it the right way!\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\tMario concluded his explanation with: \u201cTo the fans who were triggered i love u,\u201d followed by a middle-finger emoji dedicated to the \u201cbots.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
