Since N-Dubz revealed that it was releasing a new single this Friday (20 May) and is planning to perform in arenas across the country, people have been feeling super nostalgic and taking trips down memory lane to remember the trio’s best bits. But how much do you remember about Dappy, arguably the most iconic of the trio?
Costadinos Contostavlos, better known by his stage name Dappy, is a British rapper and singer. He is the lead singer of the hip hop and grime trio N-Dubz, and is Tulisa’s cousin. The group started in 2000, but went on a 'hiatus' to focus on their solo careers in 2011, before finally reuniting in May 2022.
Dappy is probably most memorable for his unusual dress sense, and his love of bizarre headwear. His trademark look was wearing woolly chullos, which are now affectionately referred to as ‘Dappy hats’, and he turned up one or both of the ear flaps of the hat. Dappy was the brainchild behind a lot of their songs and was the main writer in the band - with their album Uncle B reaching platinum status in the UK.

He has made most of his money through endorsement deals, sponsorships and ads. But in 2014, Dappy narrowly avoided being declared bankrupt after failing to pay a tax bill worth more than £140,000.
Dappy was in a long-term relationship with Kaye Vassell, but they have now split. The pair has two sons together - Gino and Milo. Kaye Vassell was allegedly engaged
