Last month's Billboard Awards were memorable mostly for the wrong reasons, with R&B singer Miguel's mistimed jump over a group of audience members standing out as one of the most unintentionally funny moments of the night. Earlier this week the organisers of the awards show said how angry they were at the singer for trying the stunt despite being told not to, however the singer hit back on Wednesday (June 5) saying he was never told not to attempt the jump.

The 'Adorn' singer tried to clear a section of the stage that some lucky fans - and two not-so-lucky fans - got to stand in and be a little closer to the action. The singer just about made it, but ended up landing on two female audience members who were stood at the edge of the fan-pit, with one of the victims, Khyati Shah, now complaining of possible brain damage and threatening to sue the event organisers for the ill-fated move. In an attempt to clear their name, producers from the Billboard Music Awards said that they specifically told Miguel not to try the jump, with the BMA's executive producer Don Mischer apparently speaking to Miguel after rehearsals personally to tell him to leave the stunt out of the show.

Miguel is having none of it though, and has hit back, through his rep, today to say that not only was he never told not to attempt the jump, but was asked whether he was still going to go through with the stunt prior to the performance so the cameras didn't miss anything. The singer's rep told TMZ, "The reports claiming that Miguel was warned by producers not to jump are completely false."

The rep went on to say that he and Miguel himself have tried numerous times to get in touch with Shah and her lawyer to offer any assistance, but were told it was unnecessary.

Miguel was told not to try the jump, or was he?

So, who's telling the truth?
