Golden oldie pop star Cher has labelled the younger generation female popstars “hoes”.

The 56-year-old singer attacked Britney Spears and Jennifer Lopez during a concert in Auckland, New Zealand, reports the Sun.

Whilst performing in front of 20,000 fans plastic Cher said: "I'm not going to give up show business but I'm going to give up touring because you know there are all of these young girls coming out like Britney and J.Lo."

After the crowd started booing, Cher added: "I know. They are hoes, aren't they?"

The statement came as Cher was on the Australasian leg of her farewell tour.
