Honey G hits back at haters claiming she deserves her place on X Factor as she takes over Bizarre
Honey G is feeling super confident and believes rap legends Tupc and Biggie Smalls will be looking down on her when she steps onto the stage
SHE is one of the most hated X Factor contestants, with a petition to get her axed signed by thousands.
But HONEY G is the one ROBBIE WILLIAMS said he would remember for the rest of his life after watching her at SHARON OSBOURNE’s Judge’s House.
And now, in an exclusive interview ahead of Saturday’s first live show, the riled-up rapper has hit back in style.
She said: “These people are just haters. Haters are always gonna hate.
“There’s always going to be people who say stuff online. Sharon has made her decision.
“She’s not going to change her mind. They’re banging their head against the wall and they’re doing it out of spite.
“They’re trying to stir up trouble for me. They don’t know who they’re ramping with over it. They need to check themselves.
“They don’t know me, they don’t know what I’m trying to achieve. I’ve been a musician all my life. I’ve got a right to be here as much as anyone.”
Anyone who thinks Honey G doesn’t deserve her place in the X Factor finals needs to lighten up.
She is one of the most entertaining contestants ever to appear on the talent show. I am certainly feeling her flex.
This week she transformed me into Honey D during our interview on ITV’s Lorraine before showing off her rap skills.
Honey is so confident, she is already comparing herself to hip-hop superstars PHARRELL WILLIAMS and TIMBALAND.
She said: “People who say I’m a joke is really insulting. I’m no different from someone like Pharrell or Timbaland.
“Pharrell sings and raps and produces. I sing, I rap and I produce as well. So does Timbaland, so does JAY Z, so does MISSY ELLIOTT.
“I see myself on the same level as them. I’m not a bedroom producer, I’m a heavyweight.”
And Honey reckons late rap legends TUPAC and BIGGIE SMALLS will be looking down on her when she steps on stage.
She said: “I really hope they’d be enjoying what I’m doing. I hope they’d think, ‘Wow, this girl is going to be the biggest rap artist in the UK’. Thinking, ‘She’s properly got the potential to go far’.”
There has been speculation about Honey’s sexuality since an old music video for her track Your Loving emerged, showing her fighting with a female lover.
While the star is keeping her cards close to her chest, she admits the song is based on her own life.
She said: “The stuff I rap about is life, experiences in life, experiences that I’d had in love.
“I’ve written some parts of that track — not to say too much — about experiences I’ve had.
“It’s about needing love and a rap that’s a diss. There are some parts in the track that are about romantic heartache.”
Fingers crossed there is no heartache for Honey on this weekend’s results show.

CHANGING FLACK
CAROLINE FLACK shows there is life after The X Factor.
I’ve learned the former host has been offered the lead role in West End musical Bonnie & Clyde, which will open in London next year.
Caroline is considering the part after being blown away by BILLIE PIPER’s top performance in Yerma and wants to broaden her horizons with theatre.
A source said: “Caroline’s really keen to earn her stripes in theatre and has been seeing lots of different productions recently, including Yerma and The Libertine.
“Next year is going to see a real shift for her. She’s not moving away from television, but mixing telly with theatre.
“It’s a dream Caroline has been working on since she was a teenager and she’s taking it very seriously.
“Rumours of her going away to ‘find herself’ are not true. Caroline is in the US for a break and meetings.”
I’m delighted for Caroline and hope she takes the job.
OZZY WINS BACK SHARON'S HEART
OZZY OSBOURNE earned some brownie points when he surprised wife SHARON on US TV show The Talk yesterday with a bouquet of flowers for her birthday.
His hit Crazy Train played in the background while a stunned Sharon, whose birthday is on Sunday, also received a diamond ring.
She rewarded him with a kiss.
The pair briefly split earlier this year after Sharon discovered Ozzy had been cheating on her.
He is out of the dog house for now.
