Cee Lo Green could face up to four years in state prison after being charged on Monday with allegedly drugging a woman with ecstasy before having sex with her in 2012.

There was talk that “The Voice” coach would also be charged with sexual assault, but the Los Angeles County District Attorney dropped those claims, due to insufficient evidence.

In court, Green pleaded not guilty to the felony count of furnishing a controlled substance.

He’s expected to turn himself in for booking — and post  $30,000 bond — within the next 24 hours.

Green’s hearing is set for next month.

Cee Lo Green showed a different side of himself on Howard Stern’s radio show this week, opening up about his difficult childhood, criminal past, and issues with Usher and Bruno Mars.

“The Voice” coach explained that he wasn’t too worried about Usher temporarily replacing him on the show because he “just kind of assumed” the ratings would drop.

He also took Bruno Mars to task for claiming a co-writing credit on the massive hit “F**k You!”

Green told Stern about his father dying when the performer was just two years old, and caring for his mother after an accident left her quadriplegic.

Before he made it in the music business, Green said he was involved in “strong-arm robbery.”

“Did you ever beat someone up to the point where they were unconscious?” asked Stern.

“Maybe they came to after we were gone,” said Green, later admitting, “I feel a great deal of remorse.”
