Cee Lo as a child after he was crowned ‘King of the classroom’

Cee Lo Green was on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and he wore a mumu. No, seriously he did. But we’ll get to that later because there’s something you need to see, something important.

According to Cee Lo, this was snapped when he was in kindergarten or the first grade. “I was crowned king for the day, a miniature prom.”

Dammit, Cee Lo’s school was so much cooler than mine. Seriously, how pimp is that? White suit, white shoes, giant red hat. Amazing, simply amazing.

You wonder why he’s so eccentric today, well, I think we’ve pinpointed the exact moment. Speaking of eccentric, mumu Cee Lo in full effect. Have mercy.
