How old is dappy from n dubz

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. Say if my little son grows up" — he has two children with his girlfriend, Kaye Vassell — "and he takes it even higher and I become bankrupt, can I afford for my little youngster to go to uni? Why is he [Cameron] taking benefits off people? I ask him if he thinks the prime minister understands what life is like for children growing up on estates? What nationality is Dappy?

Dappy was the cheeky chappy frontman of the band who introduced all of their tracks with his signature "Na na naiii" catchphrase. He also became a style icon thanks to his choice of headwear, with his name becoming synonymous with those knitted hats with earflaps. Since's the band's hiatus in , Dappy's enjoyed success with solo hits No Regrets and Rockstar which featured bonafide music legend Brian May from Queen but he's probably more famous for appearing in the iconic series of Celebrity Big Brother where he enjoyed a steamy naked shower with Luisa Zissman.

He's still making music though and has collaborated with Stefflon Don and Wiley in recent years. Dappy is still performing around the country too and took to the stage at Wireless Festival in September. Tulisa aka The Female Boss provided the belting vocals that were the perfect accompaniment to Dappy and Fazer's raps and often put the boys in place with her sassy lyrics as they traded verses.
