BET Awards 2024 apologised to Usher following an audio malfunction that muted his Lifetime Achievement Award acceptance speech for a few minutes.
According to People magazine, the network cited technical difficulties as the reason behind the Yeah! Hitmaker’s speech-cutting for viewers.”Due to an audio malfunction during the LIVE telecast, portions of his speech were inadvertently muted,” they described.
“Celebrating global icon USHER on our stage with a star-studded tribute and having him accept his award with a heartfelt speech was an honour…” a BET spokesperson continued.
“We extend our sincere apologies to USHER as we couldn’t be more grateful for his participation in Culture’s Biggest Night,” he added.
