Mavado’s brand new “So Special” video was due to premier on BET’s 106 & Park yesterday evening, but many viewers were left baffled as the video was never shown.
Alliance Entertainment, Mavado’s management team, has issued a press release this morning, outlining that BET’s legal team had last minute objections to the video, particularly its “excessive display of alcohol” and “careless use of women as writhing set dressings!” Notably, Alliance Entertainment has outlined that when the video was first submitted to BET, they flagged several issues and it went through three different edits before final approval.
Here’s the main body of Alliance Entertainment’s release: “We were as surprised as everyone at BET’s decision not to follow through on their promise to premier the “So Special” video on yesterday’s 106 & Park. Despite 106 & Park’s presenters hyping the premier for several days, including showing clips from the video, a last minute intervention by someone in the legal department prevented the video from airing. The anticipation was very high for the BET premier, and we weren’t notified until late in the day that there was a last minute objection by one of the legals over there, who had a censorship issue. He objected to “excessive display of alcohol” and “careless use of women as writhing set dressings!” The video is now available to watch online so people can make up their own minds about that.“The show’s programmer had passed the video and had been running promos so she was livid at the decision. It’s disappointing but all is not lost. If anything, this may help publicise the video even more. Mavado can’t seem to step without some form of controversy!”
