Honey G debuted her own song ‘The Honey G Show’ during the ‘X Factor’ final on Saturday (10.12.16).
The controversial contestant – who finished fifth on the ITV talent show – took to the stage for a performance of some of her biggest covers from the show whilst also giving fans a sneak preview of her debut single.
Speaking to host Dermot O’Leary after her performance, she said: "It felt wicked [to be up there]. I just want to plug my single that’s coming out on December 23 called ‘The Honey G Show’. Everyone who’s locked in, we’re going to rip it up. This is the Honey G official takeover …
"There was a sneak preview of my upcoming single in that medley. Everyone’s got to go out and buy it and support the single. Honey G’s taking over. It’s Honey G time."
During the performance, Honey G and the ‘X Factor’ judges – Simon Cowell, Louis Walsh, Nicole Scherzinger and Sharon Osbourne – all donned Honey’s trademark sunglasses, which had her name scrolling across them.
The 35-year-old rapper – whose real name is Anna Georgette Gilford – is the first former contestant to perform a solo track at the final of the series which they took part in.
However, the decision to bring back Honey G wasn’t received well with fans.
One wrote: "So you let Honey G come back to Wembley but no one else? What makes the talentless waste of a rap Honey so special? Very strange decision? (sic)"
Whilst another added: "Why was Honey G getting special treatment over the other finalists??? Not as if Emily will get a five minute slot to give a promo for her new single… shocking behaviour X-factor (sic)"
However, some were pleased to see the return of the rapper, with one writing: "Shocking that she was ever voted out. HONEY G IS THE XFACTOR!!! What a performance!!! (sic)"
Earlier in the evening, Honey joined the other finalists to perform a mash up of Little Mix’s ‘Shout Out To My Ex’, DNCE’s ‘Cake By The Ocean’ and Justin Timberlake’s ‘Can’t Stop The Feeling’.
During Saturday night’s (10.12.16) show, 5 After Midnight left the competition, leaving Matt Terry and Saara Alto to fight it out to be crowned this year’s ‘X Factor’ champion.
