Is this the most ridiculous man in the history of pop?

Five-Centres's picture

It's Dappy from Ndubz. No, I've never heard their music either.

He spits at women and sends death threats to mums who say they don't like him on the Chris Moyles Show. He speaks in that silly patois and wears a stupid hat.

Surely there's no bigger tit in the charts?

Tit

Not according to The Daily Mail

Welome to Dappygate!! It's all the BBC's fault. The fact that he wrote down her number went outside and texted her proves that they haven't learned their lesson from the previous "gate!!

I say HEADS MUST ROLL!!!!!!

Hmm, the most ridiculous man in the history of pop

... some stiff competition there.

Jed Clampett | 15 January 2010 - 12:11pm

I've not knowingly heard his/their music…

… but sounds and looks to me like he's good for business

The whole group

Is ridiculous.

His bandmate Tulisa performs a vocal string section in every single track and emphasises this by doing conductor's hand movements in the videos.

When I think "most ridiculous man in pop"

and write down the first 2 things that come into my head I get:

1. The guy from Hayzee Fantayzee
2. Vanilla Ice

some kind of big deal deejay now?

Yup

and married to Patsy Kensit, although of course that club has a growing membership.

Anyone who takes his hat wearing tips from Brian Harvey.....

Needs a really good talking to....

It doesn't make you look taller, it makes you look like an arse.

It's at times like this...

that I realise I have indeed become my father who, in the 60's, referred to Mick Jagger as 'that self-centred prancing fool who'll be back on the building site tomorrow' much to my chagrin. Methinks I now see young Ploppy from a similar vantage point some considerable way further up the great Munro of life (oh jeez, listen to me - I did go to see Little Boots last year right enough). I'm out.

The Californian | 15 January 2010 - 12:54pm

Ndubz and Dappy

are indeed as someone has already said huge for business. Cowell tried to tap him up for his record label apparently. Anyway I caught this at the end of Jonathan Ross. Funny, weird, bad or all three, you decide.

I love in the article
"I totally apologise to Chloe. I sent the messages to her in the heat of the moment when I was angry, but that is no excuse," he said.

This is the same man who texts "u dum f****** dickhead u can call me names over the radio but when I call u direct u chicken out u punk!nana f****** niiiii, Dappy"

Really, how dumb do they think people are?

BTW, it's his 'tache that's really doing it for me in that photo. WTF does he think he looks like?

itf | 15 January 2010 - 1:06pm

I read this story and thought...

... if I was the proud recipient of a threatening text from Mr Dappy I'd put the number online and invite "everyone" to reply in kind.

Then I just thought "pillock."

ganglesprocket | 15 January 2010 - 1:02pm

Call that a moustache?

Now I'm guessing here, but I think I may not fall into this beat combo's 'target demographic'. However, free speech is still just about allowed in this country, so I say "Sir, you look like a complete tit."

Patrick Crowther | 15 January 2010 - 1:10pm

After being inspired by the Little Richard article in this month's soaraway edition of The Word.

Spartacus Mills | 15 January 2010 - 1:12pm

Yeah, he's a bit of a tool

but I think Buzzcocks has basically skewered him a couple of times and shown most people that he's pretty much just the comic relief. The look on Martha Wainwright's face (then everyone else's) when he mistook her for Cerys Matthews was just pricelss.

illuminatus | 15 January 2010 - 1:20pm

What is it with those hats?

I take it that to wear such a titfer you must be such an ultra ice-cool take no shit gangsta that you know you look utterly laughable but you're so hard you just don't care? And if anyone does laugh at you then, obviously, it is wivvin your raahts 'n' shit yeah, to murder them in cold blood.

But look at it (or a tit). It's a complete disaster. There is no redeeming feature about it in any way. Why? Simply as an aesthetic object my first impulse is to burn it.

For the uninitiated

As a primer on the N-Dubz experience, I think this review sums it up nicely...

Lord knows what Dappy would have done if he'd read that.

I'm not going to pretend I'm unaware of N-Dubz

(though I couldn't identify one of their tunes if my life depended on it), but if someone told me this was Sacha Baron-Cohen's latest comedy creation I'd be hard-pressed to argue the point...

leicester_bangs | 15 January 2010 - 2:10pm

From the BBC website...

"Last November, Dappy joined Schools Secretary Ed Balls to launch a Government campaign against "cyber-bullying" over mobile phones and the internet.

At the time, Mr Balls welcomed the release of an N-Dubz track called "RU Cyber Safe" as part of anti-bullying week and hailed the group as "great ambassadors" in the fight against bullies."

Nuff said, innit.

Richie B | 15 January 2010 - 2:18pm

Best bit of the BBC Article

"... making an apology through his management, who also offered her free N-Dubz concert tickets..."

Well, that sounds like a terrific idea.

I'm just reminded of

a mockumentry as part of one of Harry Enfield's old shows with an East London hip hop dance outfit and one of the band was asked by a Danny Baker like voiceover

'What does your tattoo say?'
*pulls down shirt* 'Individual'
'and what's the meaning behind that?'
'Err, dunno, me mates all got it one, like' *thumbs up to camera*

DogFacedBoy | 15 January 2010 - 7:25pm

I think this was based in real life

Does Terry Edwards (former Higsons sax player) not have a tattoo like that?

"Surely there's no bigger tit in the charts"

People, people.. let's not forget the elephant in the room..

Journey have, after nearly thirty years, commenced an assault on the significant regions of our charts. I like a bit of Journey. Escape and Frontiers are fine, fine albums. But Steve Perry is guilty of crimes against music which will remain for many years more. Dappy is merely a pebble casting ripples on the pond of popular music. Steve Perry is a fucking great boulder dropped from a great height. For the prosecution, I call..

He should have copied Sam Cooke's dress sense...

as well as his vocal style.

0
Patrick Crowther | 16 January 2010 - 10:07am

Yes. He's a bit of a knob..

..but he did write "Don't Stop Believin,"

shane pacey | 15 January 2010 - 9:18pm

And Dappy probably wrote

"Dapy Wuz ear" on the back of a seat on the number 43.

0
Lenny Law | 15 January 2010 - 11:14pm

Also ridiculous..

are, I think,

Freddie (& the Dreamers),
Yoko Ono (for the bed at Abbey Road story),
Cliff Richard (for all the mawkish Christmas records),
Sid Vicious (for daring to get on to a stage).

But there are many more..

There's a lesson here for Chloe Moody, too

Never call someone repulsive and a loser unless you're prepared to take the flak for it.

Albert Edward | 16 January 2010 - 8:52am

Agree in part

She did cast the first stone - but bloody hell, that was a major overreaction from him off N-Dubz.

milkybarnick | 16 January 2010 - 10:55am

Well, she's a troll.

So presumably she got the reaction she wanted.

For some reason

he is on the front of today's Times culture magazine. Apparently, his dad was in Mungo Jerry!!

Futurenoir | 16 January 2010 - 9:47pm

Yes - I bought it, not knowing he was featured

If they think I want to read about that moronic little tw*t, they are sadly mistaken - even if he doesn't exactly come across well. I may have to go back to The Telegraph.

I don't think he'd last long on the corners of West Baltimore.
