Billboard apologized after posting an inappropriate video featuring a nude wax figure of Taylor Swift in Kanye West's Famous music video, which sparked backlash. The video depicted a naked likeness of Swift, with West making sexual innuendos about her in the lyrics. Billboard removed the clip and issued a statement on X, expressing deep regret to Swift and readers.
