CeeLo Green recently sat down with US Weekly entertainment director Ian Drew to talk about his newest TBS reality show, "The Good Life."

During their discussion, CeeLo dished on the real reason why he decided to leave "The Voice." The 40-year-old singer said, "It easily and quickly became a job. Very, very obligating... Taxing and tiring... I still tip my hat to Adam and Blake and those guys who continuously do it, but I think I ran my course there just naturally."

The "F*ck You" singer continued, "Amicably, we parted ways. I've got some very great memories there. It really has everything to do with me have the leverage to go elsewhere and be a success as well."

When asked how he got involved with "The Voice" in the first place, CeeLo shared that it was his co-mentor Adam Levine who encouraged him to be a part of it, Digital Spy revealed.

"We were friends prior to The Voice and he called and said, 'Hey man, there's this new show The Voice and I don't really know what it's going to be about, and I don't really want to do any more kind of music shows - do you think it's cool? If you do it, I'll do it. If you don't, I won't do it.'"

He continued, "And I was like, 'Well, just judging from the premise, the blind auditions' - it's something that everybody agrees is just really original. It had a great new spin."

Even though CeeLo is no longer connected with "The Voice," the singer gave some good advice for the singing reality show's newest coaches, Pharrell Williams and Gwen Stefani, 3 News noted.

"Just kind of pace yourself. Find a happy space. Just find it enjoyable, as long as you're passionate about discovering new talent and really helping people and encouraging them to be themselves and live out loud and follow their dreams, then you should have no problem," US Weekly reported.
