John Legend awkwardly snubs X Factor’s Honey G during live interview… as wife Chrissy Teigen shades the rapper
IT appears John Legend and wife Chrissy Teigen are not fans of X Factor’s Honey G.
After the superstar helped mentor the rapper this week before taking to the stage himself on Sunday, he made his feelings more than clear during an awkward interview with Dermot O’Leary.
Following his performance, Dermot teased: “You’ve worked with Kanye, Jay Z and Snoop Dogg and now you can add Honey G to that list.”
Rather than immediately answer, the singer rolled his eyes and looked beyond awkward.
John then responded in a sarcastic manner: “I have to pinch myself. She is entertaining, yes.”
“The song she had chosen [Ice Ice Baby], I thought, heightened the novelty of her because it was referencing another novelty act, which I thought wasn't the best idea, so I told her that. What else do you want me to say?!"
Throwing more shade at the rapper, John’s wife Chrissy Teigen weighed in on the drama on Twitter during Sunday’s show.
While supporting her husband from backstage, she wrote: “I am X Factor UK. What is a honey g?”
One of Chrissy’s two million followers responded: “A disaster.”
