This video is all over the internet.

Security footage released yesterday made it appear as though American performer, songwriter and record producer CeeLo Green collapsed to the floor as his mobile phone explodes at his ear. Various unsubstantiated reports suggested the device in question was a Samsung Galaxy Note 7 - the same model that has been discontinued and recalled due to various cases of the device overheating and catching alight. https://twitter.com/ZieOKC/status/810181129122807809 Many of CeeLo's fans tweeted him messages of well wishes expressing their concern about the incident. But now CeeLo has responded to the claims by clearing up what really happened. Speaking in a Facebook live video Ceelo told fans that he was actually shooting a video project.
"Hey y'all, listen," "I just want to let everybody know that I am alive and I am well and I'm OK. Truthfully, I'm really upset that anybody had to be emotionally disturbed by what they saw today. "Actually what you saw today was a clip from a smaller video that we were shooting for a new project that I'm doing called Gnarly Davidson. It's supposed to set up and introduce the new character identity. "I'm still going to release the music, but first and foremost to everybody that love me and care about me, I just wanted to let you know that I'm OK..."
Some Facebook users accused CeeLo of performing a bad publicity stunt, what do you think? Catch up with this week's episode of Football Friday Live:
