Kanye West totally blindsided Billboard Music Awards producers when he performed the n-word laced version of his hit, “All Day” … and forced the censors to stand on the audio dump button.
Production sources at the award show tell TMZ … Kanye never did a dress rehearsal of the song, so they just expected him to be on his best behavior, and perform a clean version. One source said, “He knew it was national TV.”
We’re guessing that’s exactly the point, and Kanye knew exactly what he was doing.
Think about it … his closing act is the one everyone’s talking about – even though they couldn’t hear or see most of it.
The production source told us … ”He’s Kanye. What are we supposed to do?”
By the way, Kanye not doing a dress rehearsal isn’t THAT odd. Mariah Carey also skipped hers … and several sources told us that’s just what happens for top of the A-list acts.
