BBC removes Sabrina Carpenter’s Live Lounge from YouTube after being deemed inappropriate

The singer made an explicit joke with the BBC’s name while performing her track Nonsense

Pop singer Sabrina Carpenter has had her BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge removed from YouTube following a controversial ad-lib that was deemed inappropriate. The former Disney star, 23, was performing her track Nonsense, which she regularly reworks, from her album Emails I Can’t Send.

As part of her BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge performance, she sang: “How quickly can you take your clothes off, pop quiz. I’m American I am not British, so BBC it stands for something different. This live lounge is so lit because I’m in it, innit”. The singer was referencing the name of the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), which is also used as an explicit description of black male anatomy.

Twitter account Pop Crave first identified the removal of the video in a tweet featuring screenshots of the broadcasters YouTube channel, which has spread across the site. The removal of the Live Lounge performance has divided users on social media, with some seeing the funny side of the ad-lib, while other users highlighted issues with the term on a wider scale.

Singer Charlie XCX highlighted the jokey nature of the ad-lib, tweeting: “sabrina carpenter explaining bbc on the bbc is so funny i can’t”. British author and journalist Bolu Babalola tweeted her support for the American singer: “I stand with Sabrina Carpenter.”

However, some users viewed the play on the BBC’s title inappropriate. One user said: “For people who don’t get it. It’s like if she did this on Disney owned channel or show. Like radio Disney or on capital. It was highly inappropriate. Funny. But not a good look.”Another user said: “The way that all the people who love this aren’t “B” [Black]”
The BBC have since re-uploaded the video on its YouTube channel, having removed the reference to its name from the performance, though clips of the ad-lib continue to circulate social media.

Sabrina Carpenter boasts a huge social media following, with over 28M followers on Instagram and 13M on TikTok, and her popularity has been growing in the UK, with her 2021 Emails I Can’t Send project charting within the UK’s top albums chart, her first album to do so. The singer also performed a rendition of Harry Styles’ Late Night Talking, from his album Harry’s House, as part of her Live Lounge performance.

The Evening Standard contacted the BBC for comment. In response, they said: “An unedited version of the video was briefly posted in error, and the correct version is now available for viewers to enjoy.”

 

Sabrina's been watching too much BM/WW interracial porn and she probably has a massive collection of Blacked movies somewhere on her laptop LOL.

 

Most definitely because that didn't just come out of where. And speaking to what I have BM/WW porn is lit. lol

 

Here's a 19-second audio clip from that controversial segment of the performance:

Looks like this was a complete overraction seeing as it's normal for her to ad-lib a sexual innuendo at the end of performing that song:

 

She did another BBC sexual innuendo outro today:

She's become a candidate to be my favorite White girl.

 

She's fiending for a Black man lol.

 

Never heard of her dating black men. In fact her current boyfriend is I think Asian. So I think she is the type that loves sex with Black Men. Women like her exist mainly in the swinging lifestyle but it's niave to think it's limited to only there. BUUUUT she can also just be something like Tara Babcock where she is into BBC and IR porn but wouldn't date black men.

 

Maybe she is just an open minded WW, who dates outside her race if she likes a guy.
WW can date all races of men.

 

You are totally missing ALL of what is going on here.

-SHE is currently dating a non-black guy while performing a song lyric at a concert about her love of "BBC".

-SHE also doesn't have a known dating history of black men; her ex before this guy was white.

-UNLESS you can find another song reference about Black Men from her the only time she spoke of her love(lust) for Black Men was about our phallus. Which is why I said what I said.

-I however Never said WW CAN'T date races of men. You are just not following what I'm saying. ABOUT THIS ONE WHITE WOMAN.

Pre judging me and don't even know what I'm talking about. Try asking before you assume.

 

Just a reply.
Not prejudging anybody.
Don't get too upset.
