West had been advertised as one of the main performers of the Billboard Awards and many fans had sat through the two-hour awards show awaiting their idol.
However, the husband of Kim Kardashian sang so many explicit lyrics that the majority of his concert was silenced.
Even though West was on stage for five minutes and 18 seconds, a full one minute and two seconds of his rapping was muted on national television.
Fans expressed dismay on social media with most getting mad that they had sat through the two-hour show to watch a censored. finale.
According to Billboard and NME, West was booed by the crowd near the end of his performance, possibly due to the amount of pyrotechnics making it difficult for both the crowd in the arena and fans at home to see his performance at times.
This is not the first time that TV producers have muted Kanye's performance of All Day.
In February this year, the rapper's performance at the BRIT Awards at London's O2 Arena was largely muted as it was broadcast on national television.
With the N-word repeated throughout, ITV decided to mute sections viewers may have found offensive instead of bleeping the words.
The move ruined the star's performance, viewers said, with some questioning why it ever went ahead if so much of the song had to be censored.
Others thought their TVs had broken when the sound was pulled without warning. ITV flashed an "audio mute" sign in the corner of the screen, but many failed to notice it.
Ofcom, the television watchdog, received 125 complaints from viewers after the performance.
