32 Musicians Whose Careers Took A Nosedive Overnight

13. CeeLo Green went massively viral with his hit song “Fuck You” in 2010, which was followed by a stint guest-hosting on The Voice, along with performing at the Super Bowl halftime show. But allegations of drugging and sexually assaulting a woman in 2012 derailed his career before he could become an A-List star.

Rape charges were not filed due to a lack of evidence, and his charges were reduced to supplying Ecstasy to the woman. Green pled no contest and was sentenced to three years of probation. Green may have continued his career — his lawyer claimed the encounter was consensual — but then he took to Twitter to write things such as “If someone is passed out they’re not even WITH you consciously! so WITH Implies consent” and “People who have really been raped REMEMBER!!!”

Green quit The Voice (reportedly believing he’d be fired, though he later said, “I ran my course there just naturally”), and his reality show, The Good Life, was canceled. Green is still around today, but not even close to the degree of his early 2010s fame.
