Reportedly BET is not a big fan of Ciara’s new video and is banning it from their network.
According to her fan site:
“Although fans were already skeptical about BET being the only network that had not premiered Ciara’s “Ride” video, it was not until last night that fans were TRULY enlightened. During Ciara’s Ustream chat, Ciara’s grandma, Grandma Gladys, let a “cat out of the bag”. Ironically, though many “non-family friendly” music videos have been shown on the channel in the past, “Ride” has not been accepted onto the network.”
I’m not surprised…I heard through the grapevine that BET was trying to filter it’s material a little more. While there at it they should consider Nicki Minaj’s video for “Massive Attack”. I’m a huge Nicki Minaj fan but if they ban one they have to ban them all. If I remember right I think BET tried to pull this before but it didn’t leave them with very much. I don’t know…I kind of have mixed feeling about this one.
