Kanye West was not pleased, at all, with the extreme censorship of his performance at the Billboard Music Awards. His publicist released an official statement addressing the matter:
Kanye West was grossly over-censored at the Billboard Music Awards. 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. It is ridiculous that in 2015, unwarranted censorship is something that artists still have to fight against.
The statement then ends with an apology to his fans. ABC and Dick Clark Productions haven’t released any comments in response to West’s remarks.
