Simon Cowell shows his support for X Factor star Honey G after shock drug revelations
The X Factor judge has thrown his weight behind the controversial North Wheezy rapper
X FACTOR fans who demanded HONEY G be booted off after I revealed her drug addiction won’t be getting their wish granted from SIMON COWELL.
The rapper is now not only odds on to win but has been praised by the head judge for being so brutally honest.
Speaking after Sunday night’s result show, Simon, left, said: “I respect her for the fact she was honest – and 100 percent, if I thought she was condoning it she would not be here now.”
I told on Saturday, right, how Honey had strayed into addiction amid troubling personal issues.
She admitted to taking ecstasy, cocaine, magic marijuana and magic mushrooms as a teen and at and uni.
Simon added: “She was baring her soul. What she was trying to say is this is not something she recommends.
“At least she admitted to something and this is not the first artist who is going to admit to something like that.”
“If it happens on the show like it’s happened in the past, they’re out.”
Honey G could win the show with that backing.
