Superfan Snoop Dogg sticks up for X Factor’s Honey G and vows to ‘drop everything’ to rap with her
SHE has divided opinion across the country but Honey G can definitely count on Snoop Dogg as one of her most famous fans.
The Young, Wild & Free rapper even says he’s willing to “drop whatever he has on” and fly over to duet with the hopeful on the show.
He also offered to collaborate with the X Factor contestant once she’s finished the series.
Speaking to the last month, Snoop said he was glad to see some hip-hop talent on the X Factor and even offered to record with her if she didn't make it to the live shows.
He said: "Straight up, you can tell Honey G comes from the streets.
"If Simon doesn't take her through to the live shows, she ain't got to worry, I will work with her.
"I'll fly her over here, and we can record a song together, maybe even shoot a video."
Now that Sharon has put her through and she's made it to week two of the live shows, Snoop told he'll fly to London and duet with Honey G - real name Anna Georgette Gilford - on the X Factor stage.
He said: "It's crazy the public getting on Sharon [Osbourne]'s back about putting Honey G in the finals.
"When people have been managing the biggest bands in the world for 40 years, they can question her. Until then, critics can shut the hell up.
"She [Sharon] knows what she is doing. She knows the public want to be entertained.

"What's the alternative? Listen to 12 people sing power ballads for the whole season? Simon [Cowell] and Sharon know that ain't going to make a fun show."
Many viewers have been unimpressed that Sharon picked her with some demanding the show be cancelled because of the Honey G outrage, and others started a petition calling for her to be given the boot.
However, Sharon has since defended the controversial rapper.
Not everyone is happy with her being on the show but Snoop says she'll be in the race for the Christmas No 1 if he flies over and performs with her on the X factor.
He said: "I will drop whatever I have on to give them an X Factor exclusive and duet with Honey.
"I hope that encourages fans to pick up the vote and keep her in, because I guarantee we can give a performance like The X Factor ain't never seen before."
Honey is the managing director of ARG Search Ltd but the firm’s books show that it’s struggling to make any money.
Latest books filed to Companies House show the firm has just £244 cash in its coffers, assets of £1,339 and debts of £1,338, making it worth just £1.
The company was set up in 2011 and looks like it's had a difficult five years, with its highest valuation being £13 in 2013.
However, while her business may not be booming, Honey G has vowed to prove her critics wrong but she was back in the news again yesterday when she came under fire from TV host Piers Morgan.
He was not impressed with a personal rap she created in his honour, and slated her on Good Morning Britain.
The X Factor continues this Saturday at 8pm on ITV.
