    Honestly, I thought the nod early in the performance was all we were gonna get. I didn’t think he was going to do ANY of that specific song. The fact the only thing censored was the word pedophile just makes more people that don’t know what’s up want to look it up.

      It definitely wasn’t the only censored word. Kendrick skipped more than a few words overall. But it was far and away the most obvious one

        To he fair, though, I don’t think the message was lost.
        This is an absurdly popular song; he didn’t say it, but I did hear it. And he did say “I hear you like 'em young” and “a minooor~~”, which aren’t really subtle.

        Honestly, I thought he skipped it because Standards and Practices might have considered it too uncouth for all-ages television.
