CeeLo Green is working on keeping Rico Wade’s legacy alive for years to come. He purchased his home with hopes of turning it into a museum.
As reported by HipHopDX, the Goodie Mob founding member is grieving the loss of his friend and collaborator, Rico Wade. On Monday (April 15), CeeLo shared a very lengthy social media post announcing he has purchased one of Wade’s homes. The house in question served as the second studio that the Dungeon Family collective primarily recorded out of after growing out of their original location.
“We moved into ‘the White House’ because by unanimous decision, Rico Wade was appointed commander [in] chief of Atlanta music culture,” CeeLo wrote on Instagram. “Our success bought us all homes of our own and the White House was an empty nest. Mr. Wade decided on something more domestic to raise his new family, which was his [quaint] and reserved taste in the first place.”
He would go on to reveal that the property would eventually deteriorate due to tenants who reportedly failed to keep up with the maintenance. “It was too important and invaluable to leave it be. The asking price was around 1 million, I would’ve paid more!” CeeLo said. “I’m proud to say me and my real estate partner… my sister did that for the family! My pleasure.” He would go on to reveal that he will be turning the home into an exhibit. “One day soon it will be a museum, archiving our rich musical history. You’ll be the first to know… and if you’re ever in Atlanta on the southside, come see us sometime and we will take good care of you, the way Father took care of us. #facts one time for Mr. Wade.”
Back in 2019, Big Boi purchased the crew’s original recording home aptly called the Dungeon. It is now available for rent via Airbnb. Rico Wade’s cause of death has yet to be confirmed.

How the mighty have fallen. While trying to make a grand appearance on a horse Cee-Lo Green took a bit of a tumble.
As spotted on Page Six the founding member of Goodie MoB was apparently doing the most at a recent tribute for Shawty Lo. On Wednesday, March 22 an event was hosted for the fallen rapper in tribute of what would have been his 47th birthday. For some reason the Gnarls Barkley singer felt compelled to arrive on a Spanish purebred; while wearing his signature sunglasses and a gold rope chain. Even though his entrance immediately turned heads at the private gala, he soon had a tough time maintaining his balance on the animal. It wasn’t too long before the horse started to feel nervous, for reasons unknown, and promptly bucked him off.
Surprisingly Cee-Lo Green took the fall very gracefully and playfully argued that it was Shawty Lo’s doing from up above. Naturally the clip quickly went viral online prompting the Dungeon Family member to respond to the jokes and memes. “about the other night… I felt like it could be fun and funny to make a grand entrance on this beautiful animal for a very special occasion in our city of #atlanta ,a birthday party/ celebration of life for our deceased beloved, Shawty Lo” he wrote on an Instagram post. “I’ll chalk it up as another day at the office being…..me 😬. Thank you to all of the fans and supporters for your love and concern. Long live LO”.
