It seems reports in the tabloids last week that MTV were among the UK broadcasters shunning both the uncensored and edited versions of the 50 Cent video for new single 'PIMP' on the grounds it was too raunchy are untrue. MTV told us on Friday: "Contrary to recent press reports we have been & will continue to show the clean version of 50 Cent's video P.I.M.P on MTV UK in rotation throughout the day. MTV Base will be playing the uncensored version after 10pm. We judge each video submission on a case by case basis and adhere to all local broadcast regulations, which are governed in the UK by the ITC".
