MTV fans were angry that the VMAs had censored Måneskin’s performance, but it turns out the reason wasn’t the singer’s thong.

Måneskin frontman Damiano David showed a lot of male skin when his band took the stage on August 28 for the MTV Video Music Awards. The band performed their song “Supermodel” at the awards show, with many fans expressing their displeasure after much of the performance was censored. In the end, however, it was not the singer’s loot that raised the red flag with the censorship of the show. It wasn’t even the nipple worn out by bassist Victoria De Angelis, but the actual malfunctions in her wardrobe left her completely shirtless for a while as she rocked with VMAs.

The MTV Video Music Awards were filled, as usual, with some pretty epic moments, including Johnny Depp’s unexpected “return” Yes Taylor Swift dances in every performance . But local audiences missed out on one of her most anticipated performances in her entirety, apparently because bassist Victoria De Angelis’ one-shoulder romper accidentally fell out of her life. release the nipple that was not covered with pasta, second page 6 . Aerial shots of the arena were released, as De Angelis didn’t miss a beat and continued the show, to hell with the clothes.

Apparently the censors did their job, as viewers watching TV were unaware of the wardrobe malfunction and assumed the cameras had drifted off because Damiano David’s leather strap or the bassist’s other breast was almost missing. uncovered. (Some even thought it was a general affront to the band, which seems far less likely than the reasons for censorship.) This Twitter user didn’t understand why Måneskin was being censored compared to other things that were shown on the show:

MTV doesn’t usually get a lot of censorship at its awards, which often produce great pop culture moments (we all remember Miley Cyrus foam finger , It’s correct?). No wonder, then, that fans were baffled by the alleged seizure of pearls by something like Endless Boys. Some have pointed to other musical performances from the same show, most notably Nicki Minaj’s medley as she accepted the Video Vanguard award. This fan wondered why a covered nipple would bother the net but not the rapper’s wild 10-minute number:

But even fans who were aware of the wardrobe malfunction reports still wondered why we were still afraid of the nipple. They pointed out in Twitter that the male singer was shirtless and wore leggings, while wondering why a boob would cause such a reaction.

Regardless of whether some of their time on stage was not shown to the local audience, the band should still view the evening as a win. Måneskin went with a Moonman, winning best alternative video for “I Wanna Be Your Slave”, although Victoria De Angelis made it clear that she would not be a slave to his clothes or his modesty before her art.
