Viewers were convinced Honey G said a highly offensive word on The X Factor this weekend

Much ado about nothing.

Viewers were left convinced that they heard unconventional rapper Honey G use a very inappropriate and offensive term during her performance on the X Factor on Saturday night. They were sure that she used the N-word while singing Jump by Kriss Kross. It was especially bizarre as the original lyrics don't include such a term. They read as follows:

Jump jump You should know, you should know that ah Kris Kross is not having anything today As we stand there totally krossed out We commence to make you

Jump jump The Mac Dad will make you jump jump Daddy Mac will make you jump jump Kris Kross will make you jump jump

Don't try to compare us to another bad little fad I'm the Mac and I'm bad give you something that you never had I'll make ya bump bump wiggle and shake your rump 'Cause I'll be kicking the flavour that makes you wanna jump How high? Real high, 'cause I'm just so fly A young lovable, hugable type of guy And everything is to the back with a little slack 'Cause inside-out is wiggity, wiggity, wiggity wack I come stompin' with somethin' pumpin' to keep youExplain jumpin' R&B, rappin' bull crap is what I'm dumpin' Ain't nothin' sucker about Kris Kross, we all that So when they ask, "Do they rock?" Say Believe that

Jump jump The Mac Dad will make you jump jump Daddy Mac will make you jump jump Kris Kross will make you jump jump Uh huh uh huh Jump jump The Mac Dad will make you jump jump Daddy Mac will make you jump jump Kris Kross will make you jump jump

And like you know it, don't be claiming that it's mental Two lil' kids with a flow yExplainou ain't ever heard And none faking you can understand every word As you listen to my cool, smooth melody The Daddy makes you J-U-M-P

Jump jump The Mac Dad will make you jump jump Daddy Mac will make you jump jump Kris Kross will make you jump jump Uh huh uh huh Jump jump The Mac Dad will make you jump jump Daddy Mac will make you jump jump Kris Kross will make you jump jump

Now, the formalities of this and that Is that Kris Kross ain't comin' off whack And for all y'all suckers that don't know Check it out

Regardless, people were quick to accuse Honey G... https://twitter.com/kwupdates1/status/795015692042936322?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw https://twitter.com/flexdinah/status/795013584082313216?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw https://twitter.com/x_KC_/status/795006307606601728?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw https://twitter.com/nooNneruaL/status/795001001229041664?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw The line in the song leading up to the supposed offence was: "I’ll make ya bump bump wiggle and shake your rump ‘cause I’ll be kicking the flavour that makes you wanna jump." Laughably, it was the word "flavour" which people mistakenly heard as a different word. The folks over at Metro got a statement from an X Factor spokesperson who confirmed that she didn't say anything inappropriate. They report: 'Honey G did not use any offensive language. She sang the correct lyrics and said “kicking the flavour that makes you wanna jump”.' And if you watch back you can hear that she definitely sang "flavour" and nothing else.
