CeeLo Green stirs controversy for wearing Confederate flag
CeeLo Green is the latest musician to turn the Confederate flag into a fashion statement. The singer and rapper donned a Confederate flag hoodie in an Instagram post shared on Thursday. He captioned the picture with the hashtags, 'soul,' 'rebel.' In response, hundreds of his fans expressed their distaste for his choice of clothing. 'Love you lo, but you bout to get unfollowed,' one commenter wrote under the post. 'You could've kept this one to yourself, unc,' another fan wrote. The Goodie Mob member's other two posts on Thursday included a picture of him with the African American flag and the American flag. Green is certainly not the first Atlanta artist to wear the Confederate flag, which has long symbolized white supremacy. Some have described it as an act of rebellion. The flag is prominently featured in the cover art for Lil Jon & the Eastside Boyz's 2001 album 'Put Yo Hood Up.' Lil Jon also wore the flag in the video for 'Bia' Bia'.' At the time, Lil Jon told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution that he wanted to slight supporters of the flag while also celebrating his Southern heritage. 'For me to wear that flag is like me going out with their daughters,' Lil Jon told the AJC's A. Scott Walton in 2001. 'We're Southern-born and raised. The flag is part of us. We just look at it as being proud to say we're from the South.' André 3000 wore the flag on his belt buckle in the video for OutKast's 2000 hit 'Ms. Jackson.' 'I wear the belt for southern pride and to rebel, I don't take the confederate flag that serious as far as the racial part is concerned,' he told Vibe magazine at the time. Other Atlanta rappers like Ludacris and Pastor Troy have also worn the flag. Kanye West, who was born in Atlanta but raised in Chicago, is perhaps the most notable example of a Black artist endorsing the flag. Along with wearing the flag, the rapper also sold merchandise with the Civil War-era image in 2013, stating that he 'took the Confederate flag and made it my flag.' Reps for CeeLo Green could not be immediately reached for more information. ___ © 2025 The Atlanta Journal-Constitution Distributed by Tribune Content Agency, LLC.

Roots Picnic 2025 announces Maxwell as new headliner, replacing D'Angelo
There is a new headliner for the Roots Picnic 2025 after one of the most anticipated acts had to drop out. The Roots Picnic announced Friday on social media that Maxwell is replacing D'Angelo for Day 1, Saturday, May 31. In a post on Instagram, the festival said, "Due to a longer-than-expected surgical recovery, D'Angelo won't be able to join us at Roots Picnic this year. We're sending love and keeping him in our thoughts as he continues to heal!" In the same post, D'Angelo said in a statement that due to an unforeseen medical delay of surgery from earlier this year, he was advised that the festival would complicate matters. "It is nearly impossible to express how disappointed I am not to be able to play with my Brothers "The Roots," D'Angelo said in the statement. "And even more disappointed to not see all of You." "I am so thankful to my beautiful fans for continuing to rock with me and I Thank u for your continued support," D'Angelo continued. "I am currently in the Lab & can't wait to serve Up what's in the Pot! LOVE U All and will see you very soon!" Similar to D'Angelo, Maxwell is another musician claimed as a pioneer of the neo-soul genre. With three Grammys under his belt, Maxwell has hits that cross decades and generations, such as "Ascension (Don't Ever Wonder), "Sumthin' Sumthin'" and Grammy award-winning hit "Pretty Wings." Another slight tweak to Saturday's lineup is that the Baller Aler: Go-Go Backyard Band with CeeLo Green was moved from Saturday to Sunday, June 1. The Roots Picnic 2023 also had a slight tweak. Usher was added as a co-headliner after Diddy dropped out "due to unforeseen circumstances." One of the biggest festivals in Philly will return to The Mann Center in Fairmount Park from May 31-June 1.
