The joke about Blue Ivy’s hair that got the producer suspended came in the segment of the show in which the hosts considered what Jay Z and Beyoncé’s daughter was thinking while up on stage at the MTV Video Music Awards Sunday night. Guest host Tran quipped, impersonating the 2-year-old, “I really did wake up like this because my parents never comb my hair.”

In response to the backlash, BET’s president of music programming and specials Stephen Hill took to Twitter to apologize in a series of four tweets in which he also absolves Chris Brown’s girlfriend of any blame in the unfortunate incident.
