After the preview above surfaced on the internet, word has quickly spread that BET will not be airing Rick Ross’ upcoming “Hold Me Back” music video. The director of the video took to twitter to express his concern:
So BET rejected Ross’ “Hold Me Back” video. It’s incredibly sad, because the video is incredibly special & real. You’re killing US BET. Smh

Everybody ask BET why it’s ok for them to play “Boyz N the Hood”, “Menace to Society”, and “South Central”, but not Ross’ video. RT RT RT

What does BET stand for? You should have two answers for that question.

What are your thoughts? Does the video seem too controversial for airtime?
