Rapper Kanye West has apologised to audiences who sat through his heavily censored Billboard Music Awards performance on Sunday, who were left listening to silence for up to 30 seconds.
Kim Kardashian’s husband left viewers disappointed with his All Day performance after producers were forced to bleep him out continually – leaving up to 30 seconds of silence at a time for those watching at home.
His rep Tracy Nguyen Romulus has now released a statement saying, “It’s ridiculous that in 2015, unwarranted censorship is something that artists still have to fight against,” but went on to say sorry for those who couldn’t enjoy it.
As well as the censoring, the rapper could barely be seen through plumes of smoke that spread across the dark stage during his performance.
