We at heat loooooooove The X Factor, but we really don't like all the hate contestant Honey G has been getting this week.
:(
If you've been living in a box and somehow don't know who she is, Honey is the next Jay Z with the same vibe as Nicki Minaj who hails from north Weezy (Harrow).
She's basically the best thing to happen to the show ever.
Apart from One Direction, of course.
AND WAGNER.
She's obviously a novelty act (and a darn good'un at that), but The X Factor always has novelty acts – and where would it be without the likes of Jedward? AND RYLAN CLARK-NEAL?
Forget The X Factor, WHERE WOULD THE WORLD BE WITHOUT RYLAN?
Anyway, some people seem to have forgotten the show’s long tradition of these acts, as they're signing a petition to boot her off in their tens of thousands (16,000+, to be precise).
The petition was started by ex-contestant Samantha Atkinson's cousin, who was fab but unfortunately not taken through to the live shows.
The message beside it reads: "I and thousands of other X factor viewers feel she was robbed of her place on live shows tonight....when Sharon osbourne didn't place her in the top 12....then sign and show X factor bosses and Itv that they have made a huge mistake!!! Let's get Sami back as the wild card for X factor 2016."
But Samantha, very graciously, has distanced herself from the campaign, telling BBC Radio Humberside that Honey G "deserves her right to be in the competition as much as anyone else" and added that the two of them had become "friends" during their time on the show.
And now Sharon Osbourne herself has rushed to Honey's defence. While appearing on Good Morning Britain, she said: "Hand on heart it’s about entertaining people and Honey G whether you love her or you don’t love her entertains.
"She has her own unique way of rapping and people want to see more.
"Whether they say they don't... they do."
And Honey G herself added: "Obviously there are going to be haters everywhere you go - even people very, very famous have haters.
"I see the haters poppin' and I don't really take any notice of them.”
She added: "They just need to check themselves."
YES, HONEY G.
