Honey G launches her own record label after being axed by Simon Cowell
The X Factor rapper has started her own venture and is on the verge of releasing a new single
It's going to take more than a brutal sacking to stop Honey G’s bid for global domination.
After being controversially dropped by Simon Cowell in April, I can reveal my favourite ever X Factor novelty act is taking on Jay Z by launching her own hip-hop record label called H to the O Music.
She believes having total creative control on her music will see her hits rocket to the top of the charts all over the world, starting with new single Hit you with the Honey G.
Speaking in an exclusive interview Honey said: “I decided to launch my own label in order to give me more creative control and focus purely on producing real rap and hip-hop music.
“My new single, Hit you with the Honey G was produced, arranged and composed by me and was mixed and mastered by Grammy Award Winner Liam Nolan from Metropolis Studios.

Honey was the stand-out star of the last series of the X Factor, despite cruelly being denied a place on the final which was eventually won by Matt Terry.
“All the samples were generated and sequenced by me and I recorded and produced the guitar in the chorus. In the song my lyrics are about my life and my experiences.”
Show boss Simon knew that, too, by offering her own performance slot on the telly showpiece last December where she announced her record deal with Syco.
Her relationship with Simon may have broken down months later, but Honey believes it was a blessing as she has possesses all the tools to be just as successful as the music mogul.
She said: “Working with Syco was great, but now I’m totally in control. I’m personally backing the whole PR Campaign for the single and I can now exemplify my own vision.
“I feel now is my chance to become globally recognised as a rapper and I hope the people believe and invest in my music.”
