ATL's CeeLo Green Under Fire After Controversial Rape Tweets

In Fall of 2013 CeeLo Green plead no contest to a felony drug charge resulting from a 2012 incident during which he secretly slipped an unsuspecting woman the designer street drug Ecstacy. The 33-year-old woman claimed that she was raped by the Atlanta Rapper; meanwhile, CeeLo avoided Cell Therapy due to lack of evidence.

The former, The Voice judge, allegedly went on a Twitter rant in which he claimed that unconscious women can’t be raped.

Tweeting “if someone is passed out they’re not even WITH you consciously,” later adding that, “people who have really been raped REMEMBER!!!”
