Måneskin may have brought a bit too much heat to the 2022 MTV VMAs. On Sunday night the Italian glam rock band took the stage to perform their international hit “Supermodel”, but were seemingly met with some censorship.

More curious, though, was the extended time in the middle of the performance during which cameras cut away to a shot far from the stage, seemingly a recorded loop, which some fans took to be censoring David’s racy look.

Though, as another fan pointed out, a likely reason for the apparent censorship was the band’s bassist Victoria De Angelis baring her breast at one point during the performance.
