Cee Lo Green calls City Pages Andrea Swensson gay via Twitter

by Raghav Mehta

So news broke on the twittersphere earlier today – Cee Lo Green is either:

1) An unabashed homophobe or 2) The most immature 37-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 – 

 “ thinks ‘fuck’ has five letters, according to his tweet.” – @jasonzabel

Cee Lo has yet to respond.

Stay tuned. This thing can only get weirder.
