The senior vice president of the animal rights non-profit organization PETA, Lisa Lange, gave a statement on the issue and said:

“It doesn’t take a genius to know that horses don’t belong at a noisy, crowded party, where slippery floors and strobe lights can agitate them. If CeeLo bumped his head, PETA hopes it knocked some sense and compassion into him.”

During a party held at The Bank, a video captured the artist sitting on top of a horse and enthusiastically entertaining the crowd. However, the joyful moment took a turn as the horse began to slip on the slick tile floor. Despite handlers attempting to steady the animal and support the artist, the horse's legs gave out, causing both the horse and the artist to fall to the ground.

The singer quickly rose to his feet, assuring the audience that he was unharmed by raising his arms. The gathering was a celebration of the birthday of Shawty Lo, an Atlanta rapper who died unexpectedly in 2016 as a result of head trauma due to a crash.
