X Factor’s Honey G insists she’s a real and credible rapper as she reveals she is looking for love and kids
CONTROVERSIAL X Factor star Honey G insisted her aspirations for music stardom have been present "literally all her life" before she confessed she also wants to find love and have kids very soon.
The North Weezy star - who was booted out of the live show last night - admitted she only went on the show to bag a record deal with Simon Cowell yet faced a barrage of criticism throughout her stint from fans branding her 'fake'.

Talking on today's Lorraine show, she listed her experience in the music industry and after previously admitting she "didn't get" the baseball-cap wearing star, host Lorraine Kelly revealed she had been converted.
Honey told her the "main reason" for her being on the show was to secure a music deal and said: "I grew up singing to blues R N B records and singing along to rap albums by Snoop Dog.
"While everyone was listening to the Backstreet Boys I was busting with Snoop Doggy dog's album."

Honey had reeled off a list of her music credentials including work with BBC One Extra radio show and a degree in music production.
Talking of the incessant negative comments from a chunk of the talent show's fans, she added: "If I see anything negative online I don't bother to click on the link.
"If I read things I don't want to read it might upset me.
"I don't take any notice of it any more."

She added: "Yeah, I am looking for love.
"I really want to have kids soon.
"I just want to get a long-term partner before I decide to have kids and hopefully marriage one day."
