After months of anticipation, CeeLo Green fans finally get a taste of the music he’s been working on as Gnarly Davidson.
In Davidson’s debut single, “Fuck Me, I’m Famous,” which Complex is premiering today along with its accompanied video directed by John Colombo, it’s the classic scenario of wanting all the glory from fame and fortune. The CeeLo Green from the past is blurred out in the background, leaving us with the new and hip Gnarly Davidson who is having a blast schmoozing with models.
Davidson tells Complex over email that he plans to be famous very soon. “In the words of Iggy Pop, and I quote...Look out honey cause I'm using technology...Ain't got time to make no apology,” he says. “Well in that case I may as well be called TECHNOLOJESUS !!! But you can call me GNARLY DAVIDSON FOR SHORT. My disciples will dance and worship the sound I talk on. You see? Audacity is the first instinct of art itself and with a lil’ jolt of juxtaposition the flat line will again become a vital sign FOR I HAVE GIVEN LIFE to living dead. Soon and very soon... IM GOING TO BE FAMOUS! FUCK ME.”
As far as that exploding phone footage that had Green floored upon contact? Well, it was all part of Gnarly Davidson’s rollout of his visual project. Call it a rebirth.
“Again I'm not sure how the leak happened but ironically enough it's gotten us one step closer to finally meeting this guy Gnarly Davidson,” Green says. “He's obviously crazy and just wants to be famous apparently.”
Ain’t nothing wrong with that. Don’t miss the love train, baby.
