Usher
was
up
in
the
club
with
his
homies—but
no
one
could
hear.
The
singer
took
home
the
Lifetime
Achievement
Award
at
the
2024
BET
Awards
on
June
30,
but
his
acceptance
speech
suffered
from
major
tech
issues.
Fans
noticed
that
large
portions
of
his
10-minute
speech
were
muted
for
unknown
reasons.
As
one
fan
wrote
on
X, “How
they
silence
Usher’s
whole
speech
like
that.”
Although
some
theorized
that
the
network
may
have
been
muting
expletives,
one
social
media
user
quipped, “I
know
Usher
ain’t
cussing
that
much
that
they’re
muting
his
whole
speech.
Like
WTF!”
The
silent
speech
sparked
speculation
about
what
the “Yeah!”
artist
could
possibly
have
been
expressing
on
stage.
“Why
did
BET
put
Usher
on
mute
for
the
majority
of
his
acceptance
speech?
Must
have
been
some
piping
hot
tea
spilled!”
one
person
said,
as
another
user
joked, “Is
Usher
telling
industry
secrets
because
the
censoring
is
crazy.”
