CeeLo Green Dropped From Two Concerts After Rape Remarks

CeeLo Green has been dropped from at least two upcoming concert performances in the wake of the former "Voice" judge's controversial comments about rape.

Green, 40, will no longer co-headline a Freedom Live concert event hosted at the Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling military installation in Washington, D.C., E! News first reported.

He was scheduled to appear along with country group Little Big Town, which will still perform as scheduled.

"We seek a Department-wide culture of gender dignity and respect where sexual assault is completely eliminated and never tolerated, where sexual assault victims receive compassionate and coordinated support, and where offenders are held appropriately accountable," a statement posted to the Freedom Live Facebook page read.

"Unfortunately, one of the performers we signed for the JBAB Freedom Live show on 20 September recently posted comments on social media that we consider to completely inconsistent with Navy core values. Regardless of intent or context, the lack of sensitivity towards an issue that is one of the great challenges facing our Navy is unacceptable."

The "F--k You" singer was also dropped from the Gretna Heritage Festival in Louisiana and replaced by Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, E! News reported.

Green came under fire after apparently tweeting what he believes constitutes as rape, amid allegations that he drugged a woman in 2012.

"When someone brakes on a home there is broken glass," he reportedly wrote. "Where is your plausible proof anyone was raped?"

"Women who have really been raped REMEMBER!!! If someone is passed out they're not even WITH you consciously! so WITH implies consent."

He soon deleted the controversial comments, and temporarily deleted his Twitter account, before resurfacing to issue an apology instead.

"I truly and deeply apologize for the comments attributed to me on Twitter," the Goodie Mob singer wrote. "Those comments were idiotic, untrue and not what I believe."

Last week Green was sentenced to three years of probation and 360 hours of community service for the felony drug conviction, but he was not charged for sexual assault — a judge ruled there was not enough evidence to support the woman's claim that her encounter with the singer was nonconsensual.
