CeeLo Green exploding mobile phone video was publicity stunt for new project

Overnight, a video featuring CeeLo Green holding a mobile phone as it exploded was shared across the internet alongside reports claiming the singer was knocked unconscious by the incident.

However, while numerous people were worried about Green for multiple hours, it turns out the whole thing was a publicity stunt for an upcoming musical project.

“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’,” he told fans via a Facebook Live video.

Green went on to apologise and confirm he is ‘alive and well’ despite the concerning reports published earlier in the day.
