Kanye West has apologised to fans who were left unimpressed by his performance at the Billboard Music Awards.

The audience in Las Vegas booed as the rapper performed.

But West - who also provoked derision following his performance at the Brit awards earlier this year - blamed the response on the show's organisers, saying he had been "grossly over-censored".

Long portions of his songs All Day and Black Skinhead were muted at Sunday's ceremony and TV viewers were equally unimpressed when the ceremony aired.
