Fans expressed their anger.
Honey G is facing more controversy after being wrongly accused of using the ‘n word’ during her latest live performance on The X Factor.
Some X Factor viewers unfairly branded the ‘rapper’ as racist, claiming she used the slur while performing Kriss Kross’ 1993 classic ‘Jump’ over the weekend.
