We haven't seen the last of Honey G...

Many of us had thought we’d seen the back of Honey G when she was dropped by Simon Cowell’s record label, Syco, in April.

The controversial X Factor star hogged headlines last year after she was accused of cultural appropriation for her outrageous hip hop persona on the talent show, and Little Mix branded her an actress and a ‘fake,’ while John Legend admitted that she was a “novelty” act.

Meow…

But she’s risen from the ashes. Like a phoenix or a bad penny? Either way, she’s turned up again, and this time she’s determined to really crack the charts.

Honey is launching her own record label, called H to the O Music, and has produced and composed her new single ‘Hit you with the Honey G’, which touches on her life experiences…

‘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.

‘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,’ she told The Sun.

And despite recently splitting from Simon, Honey remains positive about the next phase of her music career, having assumed control of her own destiny.

The north-west London rapper explained: ‘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.’

Good luck on world domination, Honey G!
