Speech Debelle 'booed by Take That fans'
Speech Debelle was reportedly booed by fans of Take That last night after she attempted to rap the band's 1993 hit 'Pray'.

The Mercury Prize winner was jeered off stage during the London launch of the group's new video game SingStar.

Debelle, real name Corynne Elliot, is said to have upset the 500-strong audience with her cover and when sections of the crowd began to boo, she stated: "I'm a rapper. I don't do Take S**t."

Her reaction prompted host James Corden to respond, saying: "That was s**t, anyone can rap."

The actor then launched into his own rap, according to The AP.

Earlier this week, it was reported that Debelle plans to quit her record label over poor sales of her debut album.
