Producers at ABC censored more than a minute of Kanye West’s finale at the 2015 Billboard Awards Sunday (May 17), according to TMZ.
West was given a little more than five minutes to close the show. He used his time to perform “All Day” and Yeezus cut “Black Skinheads.”
Fans watching from home were only allowed to hear about four minutes of his performance due to West deciding to recite the dirty version of his Swish single “All Day.”
Producers affiliated with the award show told TMZ that Kanye didn’t show up for his dress rehearsal. His live performance was filled with lyrics like “All Day, nigga,” and several expletives not suitable for ABC.
“He knew it was national TV,” one source told the site. “He’s Kanye. What are we supposed to do?”

Half the time they blanked out lyrics that didn’t need censorship he wasn’t even cursing half the time I know the lyrics to the songs
The words he used in yhe performance were not all the usual lyrics of the song
He appeared to be under the influence of something and just let it all go
He did not show up for rehershal
Had 15 hangers with hom when he came to the stsge Appeared high as did all his bro’s Gave a nasty version of his raps
And now he complains about censorship ?? This just follows his interupting any awards show that he attends He is not a performer that does not deserve anyones respect or attendense
Youze a fake Denzel like the allstate nigga lol That shit gets me every time
When are blacks going to stop with this n*gga crap and then get on a national stage and do it the same as with n*ggas in paris. This person does not represent the black community and he needs to go learn his ancestors history as with the rest of you who condone this. He is an idiot!!! You then get mad when a non black calls you a ni**er but you idiots sit here and call each other that all day long.
The whole clan is a joke…why do people keep making these people rich by even caring? They have nothing to offer anyone.
