Cee Lo Green calls City Pages Andrea Swensson gay via Twitter
So news broke on the twittersphere earlier today – Cee Lo Green is either:
1) An unabashed homophobe or 2) The most immature year old on the internet
Of course, the two aren&#;t necessarily mutually exclusive.
Responding to a not-so-favorable review featured in last night&#;s Rihanna/Cee Lo Green recap, the Dirty South&#;s foul-mouthed Soul Man took an unexpected jab at CityPages music editor Andrea Swensson via twitter earlier this afternoon.
Tweet from Cee-Lo Green&#;s account:
&#;@gimme_noise I respect your criticism but be fair! People enjoyed last night! I&#;m guessing ur gay?and my masculinity offended u?well f&#;k U!&#;
-@CeeLoGreen
The local twittersphere is already up in arms about the fracas and Swensson responded earlier this afternoon on Gimme Noise.
Stray Observation: Twin Cities AVClub editor made an astute comment admist the uproar &#;
&#;@CeeLoGreen thinks &#;fuck&#; has five letters, according to his tweet.&#; &#; @jasonzabel
Cee Lo has yet to respond.
What&#;s with the coaches on &#;The Voice&#;?
Last month, judge Blake Sheltoncame under heat for posting a homophobic tweet, in which he re-wrote the lyrics of Shania Twain&#;s &#;Any Man of Mine&#; to reflect him beating up a guy who touched his backside.
Now, Cee Lo Green is facing similar music.
After receiving a negative review for his Minneapolis performance with Rihanna from tune editor Andrea Svensson, the &#;Forget You&#; singer tweeted his thoughts.
&#;I respect your criticism, but be fair!&#; Green, 37, wrote on Friday. &#;People enjoyed last night! I&#;m guessing you&#;re gay? And my masculinity offended you? Well, f*** you!&#;
The singer later deleted the shocking and confusing (Svensson is a woman) tweet. But he didn&#;t exactly admit fault for it.
&#;At the time I didn&#;t even know what gender the person was,&#; Green tells Us Weekly. &#;I was being a little outspoken that night, a small outrageous. I always expect people to assume that everything I do is part of my character and perception of humor. I assumed that whoever it was would assume it was all in nice fun
I’m not usually in the practice of giving advice to celebrities, but last Friday I did so. On Twitter, I wrote to someone called @ceelogreen, saying &#;Seriously, call your PR people. You&#;re obviously not prepared to handle this yourself.&#;
@ceelongreen is, of course, Cee Lo Green, the singer for Gnarls Barkley who recently had an unlikely strike with a classic-sounding American mind song based around an mad expression of contempt, repackaged for radio as &#;Forget You.&#; Leafy had been in Minneapolis on June 16, opening for musician Rihanna, and Andrea Swensson reviewed the show on City Pages’ Gimme Noise blog. Swensson was unimpressed by Green’s performance, result the performance to be error-riddled and uninspired. Further, she opened with a paragraph quoting Green’s blatantly sexual onstage banter, which she did not enjoy. &#;Gross, Cee Lo,&#; she wrote.

Green took issue with this on Twitter — and I think he had reason to. Aggressively sexual banter has a long history in American soul and rock and roll music — to such an extent that
Cee Lo cut from performances, TV after rape tweets

Two American music festivals have distanced themselves from Green in recent days, dropping him from their lineups. On Friday, Billboard reported the singer’s Sept. 20 set at Release LIVE in Washington DC was axed, followed by his scheduled performance at Louisiana’s Gretna Heritage Festival.

“People who possess really been raped REMEMBER!!!,” Green tweeted. “If someone is passed out they’re not even WITH you consciously! So WITH implies consent.” He later deleted the tweets and posted an apology to his nearly 2 million followers.
