During a VT ahead of her X Factor appearance on Saturday’s fright night special, controversial rapper Honey G dubbed herself the “UK’s best rapper”.
The comments angered a lot of music fans and her performance of Will Smith’s Men In Black did nothing to appease her critics.
Please tell me Honey G didn't just say she's the UK's top rapper!? #XFactorFrightNight pic.twitter.com/3aemYyLBC4

Her performance didn’t really change any minds.

The judges thought she was pretty good though with Simon Cowell saying he thought the G in Honey G stands for greatest.
