Back in 2018, she revealed that she decided to ditch her musical persona and pursue a career as an estate agent.
But weeks later, Honey announced she’d been fired from her new job for being ‘too famous.’
She told The Sun: ‘They didn’t realise how famous I am… My boss had told me that he was expecting me to give up my music career, which I am obviously not prepared to do.
‘Music is my love and passion, and my ambitions are about being a worldwide music artist. I had no intention of being an estate agent long term. I was hoping that a big opportunity for my music career would come in. I do believe I belong on stage.’

And while her surprise career move has been suddenly stopped in its tracks, the bubbly brunette has revealed hopes of releasing new music, embarking on a UK tour and becoming a TV presenter – as well as tackling pantomime next year.
While competing on The X Factor, Honey, who was mentored by Sharon Osbourne, became known for always hiding her face behind large sunglasses and a baseball cap, with the star refusing to remove them.
She had given fans a glimpse at her real identity on an episode of 100% Hotter in January, earlier this year, as she underwent a huge transformation.

On the show, Honey G had claimed that she was hesitant about changing her image, as it’s something she has honed over the years and is very particular about.
Although, she did add that her friends are keen for her to embrace her more natural side, as she said: ‘Sometimes my friends say I want to see Anna now, not Honey G.’
She continued: ‘I never leave my house without sunglasses. I wear my sunglasses in the rain, course I do. I take my image very seriously, so I expect they’ll have a challenge on their hands because I’m not easily impressed.’
