It's no secret that Blake Shelton has a hard time understanding Shakira, who is set to take over judging for "The Voice" alongside Blake, but he had no idea one innocent jokingly tweet would set off death threats.

In an interview with Chelsea Handler, who dressed as other "Voice" judge Christina Aguilera to make sure Shelton felt "at home," Blake recalled what happened after meeting Shakira. "I got on Twitter one day, and I actually wrote something ... a joke like, 'Hey, i met Shakira today and i didn't understand anything that she said ... and her fans, her fans are, Columbians down there ... I was getting death threats, those people were going to cut me, they were going to kill me ... it was ... a joke!"

Yikes! Despite that miscommunication between him and her fans, Blake shares that communication with Shakira hasn't improved by that much either. "But I actually can't understand anything that she has to say," he laughed.
