"Grossly Over-Censored": Kanye's Camp Strikes Back at Mute-Happy BBMAs
FUSE TV - "Grossly Over-Censored": Kanye's Camp Strikes Back at Mute-Happy BBMAs
For the most part, the 2015 Billboard Awards were a triumph. (We have the kickass "Bad Blood" video and Taylor Swift's posy of badass babes to thank.) But one person didn't leave smiling, however, and he goes by the name of Kanye West.
Nearly a full minute of the would've-been-hard-hitting "All Day" performance was muted by an overzealous censor with a heavy hand on the mute button. Yeezy, as you can imagine, was not pleased. As numerous sites have written, "All Day" contains like 40 instances of the word "n---a." But BuzzFeed's look at the situation revealed that—in a performance where Yeezy, a professional rapper, was already heavily editing himself independently, live—lines like "ride around listening to Sade" and "if you run into me, better have Allstate with ya" were muted in long, awkward stretches of broadcast silence.
Today Kanye's team has released a statement claiming Ye was "grossly over-censored."
