People think Honey G said a serious racial slur on The X Factor on Saturday night

A pretty shocking moment turned out to be nothing at all.

Viewers were left convinced last night that they heard Honey G using an inappropriate word during her performance on The X Factor. They think she said the n-word while singing Jump by Kriss Kross. The line in the song leading up to the alleged racial slur being said was, "I’ll make ya bump bump wiggle and shake your rump/‘Cause I’ll be kicking the flavour that makes you wanna jump." It's the word "flavours" which people mistakenly heard as a different word. The folks over at Metro got a statement from The X Factor spokesperson who confirmed that she didn't say anything inappropriate. They said, "Honey G did not use any offensive language. She sang the correct lyrics and said “kicking the flavor that makes you wanna jump”." And if you watch back you can hear that she definitely sang "flavours" and nothing else.
