5. Honey G -THEN
It’s only been three years since rapper Anna Georgette Gilford who performs under the stage name Honey G appeared on The X Factor, but this star is living a completely different life now -she even looks different!
Her snap-back hats and oversized reflective glasses quickly became her identity on the show but after being branded a novelty act by Nicole Scherzinger herself, Honey G was voted out of the competition much to the dismay of her die-hard fans.
Still, that didn’t stop her from signing a record deal with Simon Cowell’s record label Syco Music -a privilege which is usually reserved for the show’s winners!
The decision was criticised heavily by viewers and ultimately led to the termination of Honey’s contract, but not before she announced plans to branch out on her own.
