Artist Usher's acceptance speech of the BET Awards' lifetime achievement award was heartfelt, occasionally profane and lengthy 바카라 and few people got to hear it.
The 13-minute speech was largely censored by the network, leaving viewers at home curious to know what Usher said. A BET spokesperson told The Associated Press that 바카라due to an audio malfunction during the live telecast, portions of his speech were inadvertently muted. We extend our sincere apologies to USHER as we couldn't be more grateful for his participation."
A full version of the speech is now available on BET's YouTube channel and will be included in a Monday rebroadcast, with a few profanities removed. Much of his speech centered on the idea of fatherhood, forgiveness, and his three-decades' long career. It appears that the heavy censoring started shortly after Usher said 바카라Sorry, I'm gonna curse and let you know how I really feel" early on in his acceptance.
He recounted walking into music mogul L.A. Reid's office at 12 or 13 years old and telling a room full of executives that he'd make it. 바카라That wasn't ego speaking. I rebranded that word that day,바카라 he said in a section of the speech that didn't air. 바카라I rebranded that word that day. I expressed goals out loud.바카라
