N-Dubz had some of the biggest hits but along with the fame came scandals for musician Dappy . Although the Camden-based trio took a break from the music industry in 2011, they reunited in 2022 and toured across the country performing some of their biggest hits. This was Tulisa's first time back in the spotlight since 2019 after taking a brief hiatus from the industry.
However, upon reuniting two years ago, the band went on to release their fourth studio album. Although Tulisa has been in and out of the limelight, her bandmate and cousin Dappy, whose real name is Costadinos Contostavlos has remained in the public gaze and has often found himself under fire. As Tulisa prepares to relaunch herself in the I'm A Celebrity .
.. Get Me Out Of Here! camp, we look at Dappy's controversies and what he's up to now.
Although Dappy is best known for his catchy tunes and his dress sense, most famously the 'Dappy hat' which saw thousands of Brits rocking a woolly chullo during N-Dubz's reign on the charts, he's also made a name following the controversies surrounding him. In 2007, the No Regrets hitmaker was convicted of battery in 2007. Just one year later, he pleaded guilty to two counts of assault at Chelmsford Magistrates Court, Essex, after he allegedly spat in a woman's face while drunk on a night out.
Following his guilty plea, he received four weeks imprisonment, suspended for one year and was ordered to carry out 100 hours of community service. Dappy was also made to pay £50 compe.
