Looks like Kanye West failed to make an impact at the 2015 Billboard Music Awards as he was booed throughout his closing set.

Meghan Trainor, John Legend, Hozier, Little Big Town, Van Halen and others delivered great performances in succession for almost three hours before Kanye West closed the 2015 Billboard Music Awards with an entertaining performance of "All Day" and "Black Skinhead."

The rapper's sisters-in-law Kendall and Kylie Jenner were also booed while introducing West before he kicked of this set with "All Day." The viewers in the venue booed loudly as soon as it was announced that the controversial rapper would be performing after the commercial break.

The song's featured guests Allan Kingdom and Theophilus London, joined West on stage, according to reports by Yahoo Music editor on site.

Boos from the public even before West took the stage without a doubt hinted disaster as the disapproval continued throughout his performance which included his heavily bleeped songs. In order to eliminate obscenity, a huge portion of the audio for his first track "All Day," was censored from the broadcast. This left the viewers to hear few seconds of silence all through his performance. Also, the part which was played was almost inaudible owing to screeching sound effects.

The controversial rapper was also booed at the end of his set at the Billboard Music Awards, however he didn't let it slow him down though and stayed stone faced until the curtain closed, according to reports on Billboard.

Nevertheless, despite the boos, Kanye West unquestionably entertained the crowd at the 2015 Billboard Music Awards. The three-hour show also saw Taylor Swift debut her all-star video for "Bad Blood."

The dark, action-packed video featured appearances by Hayley Williams, Ellie Goulding, Lena Dunham, Jessica Alba, Kendrick Lamar, Selena Gomez and other in Swift's circle. The video featured girl gangs, city on fire, kickboxing and Tron-style motorcycles.

"All Day" was first debuted by Kanye West at the 2015 Brit Awards.
