JOKE ACT: Honey G has divided opinion

Despite the wanabe rapper not even taking to the stage, her rendition of California Love was already being played to the world.

But this wasn't a simple cover of the iconic 2Pac track.

No, this X Factor version feautures a fistpumping chant of Honey G's name.

FAIL: Honey G's track appeared on Spotify ahead of her performance

"H to the O to the N to the E to the Y to the G, it's Honey G," she shouts.

Before adding: "When I say Honey G, you say G.

"Honey, G... Honey G."

SHOCK: Honey G sang 2Pac on X Factor

Noticing the mistake, one fan simply wrote: "#XFactor #Fail."

While another added: "So Honey G's studio recording is on Spotify..."

But not everyone was keen the track was available.

Steps star Claire Richards replied to a tweet sharing a link to the track writing: "Why would I want to listen to that?"

Ouch, not feeling the vibe then Claire?

NOT A FAN: Claire hit out at Honey G

It wasn't the only controversy of the evening.

Just hours ahead of the show going live, news broke that singing duo Brooks Way would be suspended due to further investigation.

Commenting on the apparent axe, Dermot said: "Due to circumstances that have arisen, Brooks Way won't be appearing this evening."
