On Sunday night (June 30), the 45-year-old “Yeah!” singer was honored during the 2024 BET Awards, but a portion of his acceptance speech was unfortunately muted.

Following the awards show, BET explained why Usher‘s acceptance speech was muted before apologizing to the entertainer.

“Due to an audio malfunction during the live telecast, portions of his speech were inadvertently muted,” the statement continued. “We extend our sincere apologies to Usher as we couldn’t be more grateful for his participation in Culture’s Biggest Night. Fans can catch his full uninterrupted speech across BET platforms and tonight’s encore on BET.”

Usher spoke for about 13 minutes after receiving the award, but the audio started cutting in and out around four minutes in and then dropped off entirely for about five minutes.

BET later uploaded Usher‘s entire acceptance speech, without any audio issues, on YouTube after the awards show.
