Cee Lo Green is leaving "The Voice," this time, for good.

The "F*** You" singer took hiatuses during season 4 of "The Voice" along with co-judge Christina Aguilera and were replaced by Usher and Shakira.

According to NY Daily News, the two singers returned for season 5, but both were replaced once again in season 6.

On "The Ellen DeGeneres Show," Cee Lo Green announced, "I'm not coming back, guys."

The 39-year-old singer continued, "I don't want to wear out my welcome there (The Voice)."

Green is reported to have decided on leaving due to other projects that he's working on and plans to further pursue.

According to USA Today, the "Kung Fu Fighting" singer stated, "I'm human and I have other ambitions that I want to see through that will require my undivided attention. And so with that being said, sometimes it becomes questionable."

His "other ambitions" include the release of his new album "Girl Power," which will be his first non-holiday album since 2010's "The Lady Killer" (according to musictimes.com) as well as a possible television show with NBC.

The singer explained, "I'm going to continue my relationship with NBC. I have a television show development deal with them as well and hopefully some other talk show opportunities for later in the year."

Amongst the other things that need his "undivided attention" will be Green's drug felony charges.

USA Today has reported that Cee Lo Green could spend up to four years in prison if he is convicted of furnishing the drug ecstacy (also known as MDMA) during a dinner with a woman back in 2012.

It has been reported that he has pleaded guilty and denied the allegations.

Green will also be on the road with Lionel Richie for the All The Hits All Night Long tour starting May 29. 

For "The Voice" fans, who do you think will be his replacement?
