The Voice coach Cee Lo Green immediately reached out to gay contestants Vicci Martinez and Nakia after he lashed out against a music critic with a tweet that offended some in the gay community, according to SheWired.com. On Friday, after performing with Rihanna in Minneapolis, Green responded to a harsh review with a post directed at music editor Andrea Swensson, saying, “I respect your criticism, but be fair! People enjoyed last night! I’m guessing you’re gay? And my masculinity offended you? Well f*** you!”
Martinez, who’s on Team Cee Lo, told SheWired.com that “right away, he messaged us and was like, ‘I just want you guys to know that this just came out and that’s not how I feel. They are totally messing it up, blowing it up, and I just want to apologize to you guys first.’ He was like, ‘so, if you start hearing stuff, just know that I love you and that’s just sometimes what happens in the business.’ ”
