UPDATE: So the video of Cee Lo getting a face full of exploding phone turned out to just be a promotional video for a new project he’s working on.
Cee Lo went live on Facebook Saturday night (December 17) to update his fans on his condition, emotionally telling them that he was fine except for the stress caused by the footage coming out, which was supposed to be part of the promotion for his next project.
“I just want to let everybody know that I am alive, and I’m well and I’m OK,” Cee Lo explains. “Truthfully, I’m really upset that anybody had to be emotionally disturbed by what they saw today. Actually, what you saw today was a clip from a smaller video that we were shooting for a new project I’m doing called Gnarly Davidson. It’s supposed to set up and introduce the new character identity, you know what I’m saying?” Cee Lo said in the clip.
“I’m still gonna release the music, though,” he continued. “But first and foremost, for everybody that love me and care about me, I just want to let y’all know that I’m OK … I just want to thank everybody for their love and support and concern.”
He doesn’t explain how the video surfaced or comment on whether it was a planned release or a leak.
Watch the video below.

A studio session went wrong when Cee Lo Green‘s cell phone exploded in his face.
In surveillance video from the studio where Cee Lo was working, the Goodie Mob singer is shown answering his cell phone and scooting around in a rolling chair. After chatting for a few moments, the phone explodes on Cee Lo’s face and he falls over.
The footage surfaced today (December 17) on Instagram user iamphillychase‘s page, but details on the incident are sparse.
Cee Lo has not posted about the accident to his Twitter or Instagram. His last post is from Thursday when he posted a throwback picture of himself and his sister Shedonna celebrating their work for Green House Foundation.
A representative for Cee Lo had not responded to HipHopDX’s request for comment at the time of publication.

“Cee Lo has not posted about the accident to his Twitter or Instagram. ”
Ya think? So he’s going to do so with his exploded phone? His phone just exploded you dummies. Smh
you don’t think he could walk into his cell provider’s store and cop a new one in a matter of minutes?
After that injury? He’s Cee Lo. Not Luke Cage.
Doesn’t look like he’s walking anywhere anytime soon after that…
is it really real?

Fake news
Ushad on SoundCloud, spread the word!
No
Ain’t NOBODY going to check out your bullshit, stop the spam.
Never ever buy Apple, Samsung, Sony or LG – this is what happens when you deal with low-quality phones! You’ve been warned, kids.
What would you recommend?
Motorola or even OnePlus.
Recommend Deez Nuts. They’re better than all those.
I’m pretty sure it’s fake. This video is trying to pass off as a security cam. The numbers on the bottom indicate that they are using an HD camera, running at 200 iso and 24 frames per second. The iso means that this is a well lit room, the fps is typical in films. HD footage but there’s way to many artifacts and distortion in the video. There’s no timestamp on this video which is required for security cams. None of this seems like a security footage or how someone would report it (the fast forwarding in the beginning and fading out at the end). If I’m wrong, I hope CeeLo is well and has a fast recovery.
So, it was a fake, which means only a fool will every again believe anything this guy ever does in the future.
I was hoping it was real since this nigga look like a brown umpa loompa with a shit ass voice.
Cee-Lo is a full on rapist.
Go somewhere you clown.
‘Truthfully, I’m really upset that anybody had to be emotionally disturbed by what they saw today’…… BS. what a clown. I hope he loses fans over this.
eat a samsung battery
Samsung offered him 200 thousand to say it was fake
