Clearly, this is what fuels Dappy's desire to succeed. It also means he is unwilling to relinquish control of N-Dubz.
In , the band were signed by Polydor, who went on to rerelease their early single Better Not Waste My Time — despite the fact that most N-Dubz fans had already downloaded it for free. The band subsequently left the label and returned to self-funding their releases, before eventually signing with the smaller label, All Around The World. As soon as the label is mentioned, Dappy's hangover seems to lift.
He claims Def Jam wanted to give them songs written by other people "I kept thinking: 'I've got something more unique inside of me when I write'" and have another reality TV show, focusing on their move to America Channel 4 have previously shown two series of Being … N-Dubz. A flatterer, Dappy says the Guardian is his favourite newspaper. When I mention the Radio 1 controversy, he talks about it through the prism of the tabloid reaction. He says it made him realise how famous he was "I took it too far and it was on the front page and I thought, 'I am big, I am famous'" , rather than forcing him to reassess his own behaviour.
When I ask if he'd be happier if the tabloids left him alone, didn't write about him or take his picture, his reply is telling: "I would be so depressed that I'd curl up in a little ball and cry. That's my dream over. Given his thirst for controversy, it's a little disappointing that he clams up when I mention the August riots.
That I don't condone, and I'm so pissed off that this has happened. He sighs, and the words start to tumble out again. I've been that guy. It's imperative to think of this as well: if these youngsters doing these things, if they were all rich and had money in their pockets, they wouldn't need to go into a shop and steal a bloomin' microwave to sell it and get money.
They're broke. Not to condone it, but they're broke. Shocked by the strange reaction, Jade asked: 'Is that how you speak to your fans?
Your first ever tour I went and supported you. All your singles I have bought - still listen to you now. Dappy then screen-grabbed her tweet and frantically demanded of her: 'Did you post this??? On the receiving end: The mother-of-one, Jade Easthope, 26, tweeted that she liked the year-old's latest song Splash, posting - ' Guiltypleasure Nananiiiii'. Can't take a compliment?
Dappy - real name Costadinos Contostavlos - slid into Jade's DMs to launch a bizarre attack on her, demanding she 'stop taunting him' and pelting her with unkind remarks. How can someone speak to anyone like that? How old are you? You hate me and I hate you. You don't like my music.
Stop taunting me by saying guilty pleasure. She replied: 'I adore your music, why am I taunting you? What's wrong with guilty pleasure? Jade tried to explain again: 'I'm 26 with a little boy, so it isn't the kind of music I would play in front of him. It's more one I would listen to with headphones in, which was why I said it was a guilty pleasure. Jade told The Mirror: 'I was pretty taken aback by what he said - given he went from zero to a thousand within seconds. I'm quite thick-skinned, but if it was someone who is easily offended then you don't know what might have happened.
I'm never listening to Dappy or N-Dubz again. Jade's tweet was only the fourth time she had ever posted to the micro-blogging site. This incident comes a month after he sent a recorded message to another fan who also told him his music is her 'guilty pleasure'.
Iconic: Dappy found fame as one third of band N-Dubz, pictured with bandmates Tulisa and Fazer in Oh dear: This incident comes a month after he sent a recorded message to another fan who also told him his music is her 'guilty pleasure'. It means something that you like that you're embarrassed about.
The fan sent the message to Dappy back in September but he only replied in January, two days before Splash was released. He did not like that: The fan sent the message to Dappy back in September but he only replied last month, two days before his new single, Splash, was released. While the singer has legions of fans, he was soon Trending on social media after people called him out for his bad behaviour. They wrote: 'Dappy needs to humble himself man..
You what, Dappy? Twitter went wild for Dappy's extreme reaction to his message. In , Dappy's tour bus was raided in Glasgow and one of his entourage was cautioned about cannabis was found. In , he was given a nine-month suspended jail sentence after pleading guilty to brandishing a knife during an argument with his partner. Then back in , police seized a paintball gun from Dappy after he fired a pellet at fan's bottom.
However, the lockdown deprived me of that fast life and in turn I was able to sit back and become more self-aware. I feel like your new project already shows a lot of growth, from the intro and the cover art — What sort of sound can we expect to hear from the new tape, will we see a different side to you?
My tape is very eclectic. You understand the person I am when you listen to my music. Have you missed touring? What can fans expect from this tour, have you got anything special planned? I love performing, no one can out-perform me lol. Being a multifaceted artist yourself, how important do you think it is to be multifaceted as an artist and is it essential to invest and spread your talents in a multitude of mediums nowadays? The more talent and skill you have, the better.
It allows you to have a wider fan base and become more influential.
