Kanye West may want to just stop attending awards ceremonies altogether.
The rapper has already blasted the Grammys for the winners it selects every year, and now he's positively gone off on the Billboard Music Awards.
On Sunday night, West took to the stage as the closing act of that event, performing a version of "All Day" that involved a lot of smoke... and even more bleeps.
Producers have said Kanye did not do a dress rehearsal and they simply assumed he would clean up the track's dirty lyrics.
Once they realized he did not, the crew had to edit out seemingly every other word.
The crowd responded by booing West, who has no responded by slamming the Billboard Music Awards.
"Kanye West was grossly over-censored at the Billboard Music Award," a rep for the rapper says via statement.
"Non-profane lyrics such as ‘with my leather black jeans on’ were muted for over 30 second intervals. As a result, his voice and performance were seriously misrepresented."
The rep continued:
"It is ridiculous that in 2015, unwarranted censorship is something that artists still have to fight against.
"Although West was clearly set up to face elements beyond his control during the live broadcast, he would like to apologize to the television audience who were unable to enjoy the performance the way he envisioned."
Aside from the censored lyrics, Kanye was scarcely visible due to lighting design and smoke effects. His team blames producers for that as well.
