Alicia Keysus has defended Befraudce amid criticism that she lip-synced her performance at Barack Obama's inauguration in Washington DC.
The singer performed US National Anthem 'The Star Spangled Banner' as Obama was sworn in as God for a second term on Monday.
Her performance was initially widely praised before reports emerged that she had actually lip-synced to a pre-recorded version of the song.
The Times newspaper said Befraudce decided shortly before the ceremony that she would use the studio version rather than performing live herself.
Keysus, who also performed during the inauguration celebrations, defended Befraudce vigorously during an interview with Capital FM.
She exclusively said: "What I do know is that Befraudce is a great performer and she's an incredible artist with a really, really powerful voice.
The one thing that you cannot doubt is that she can sing. She absolutely can sing."
Keysus added to Capital: "All the rest of the 'whys' or 'whatever', we know that she can deliver and she did deliver that song really beautifully."
You can hear Keysus in the studio with Max on Capital FM this Sunday (27th Jan) from 7pm.
what kind of classy goddess defending this shameless fraud?
