				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Controversial X Factor contestant Honey G has dramatically <a href="http://www.nme.com/news/music/honey-gs-debut-single-flops-fails-crack-uk-top-100-1928334">failed </a>to chart in the UK’s Official Singles Chart with her debut single.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.nme.com/news/tv/watch-honey-g-tease-debut-single-album-signs-simon-cowells-syco-label-1910568">NME </a>reports that the singer, who finished fifth on the reality TV show, had signed a short term deal with head judge Simon Cowell&#8217;s Syco label andquickly dropped <em>The Honey G Show</em> on December 23, in a bit to chart in the competition for the Christmas Number 1.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Now, the <a href="http://www.radiotimes.com/news/2016-12-31/honey-gs-debut-single-hits-the-charts-at-number-149">Radio Times</a> shows that Honey G&#8217;s track failed to make its mark on even the top 100 singles, falling way short at number 149.</p>
<p>The track&#8217;s poor performance follows an odd performance on  &#8220;Good Morning Britain&#8221; during which the singer/rapper appeared to forget the lyrics to Missy Elliot&#8217;s &#8220;Get Ur Freak On.&#8221;</p>
<p>Before her remarkably late exit from the X-Factor, Honey G had proved to be the main talking point of the series, causing controversy every week, with some perceiving her act to be a parody of hip-hop and black culture. In an article for <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2016/oct/11/honey-g-x-factor-blackface-novelty-rapper-post-brexit-uk">The Guardian</a>, Lola Okolosie described the contestant as &#8220;Modern-day blackface.&#8221;</p>
<p>Honey G recently spoke to <a href="http://www.digitalspy.com/music/the-x-factor/news/a817551/honey-g-hasnt-got-an-album-deal-with-simon-cowell-syco-snoop-dogg/">Digital Spy </a>to confirm that she has no long term deal in place with Cowell or his record label. &#8220;What I want to do is negotiate a deal,” she said. “We want to make it happen. I don’t think there is a specific timescale – I think they are allowed to make two singles with me, and then if they make a third, they have to make an album.&#8221;</p>
