Viewers Accuse Honey G Of Being Racist After 'Dropping N-Word During Performance'

Honey G has been branded 'racist' after furious Twitter users believed she'd used the 'n-word' during her performance last night.

Going to get this out of the way nice and early, an ITV spokesperson stated that she didn't use the offensive language in question. In fact, in the song she performed (Kriss Kross - Jump) that word doesn't feature. And neither did she use it ad lib, the spokesperson said.

The Mirror spoke to the representative, who claimed: "Honey G did not use any offensive language. She sang the correct lyrics and said 'kicking the flavour that makes you wanna jump'."
