Rap-Up.com || Cee Lo Green Drops Out of Rihanna’s Tour

Fans who’ve yet to catch Rihanna’s “LOUD” tour won’t be hearing the soulful sounds of Cee Lo Green. The “F**k You” singer has exited from the pop star’s tour due to a busy schedule.

A rep for Cee Lo’s management told The New York Times that the Lady Killer’s hectic schedule including coaching gig on NBC’s hit show “The Voice” and preparations for a book and new music have cut into his time. He also recently announced that he and Danger Mouse were recording a new Gnarls Barkley album.

“He always puts 100 percent into his work and with the requirements and time commitment to ‘The Voice,’ on top of heading back into the recording studio and an upcoming book, he feels that he wouldn’t give his fans the show that they deserve,” stated his spokesperson.

Roc Nation rapper J. Cole remains the supporting act on Rihanna’s tour, which touches down in Los Angeles, Atlanta, and New York over the next few weeks.

Well Cee Lo had like a 45 minute set, so i’m thinking it eould be smart to put J. Cole in that set, and put Willow with the first, shorter set

Willow is on tour with Justin Bieber in Europe tho, I think.

I wish Alexis Jordan could join this tour because Rihanna’s fans would LOVE her music.
