England rugby star Joe Marler eats a whole raw chilli with hilarious results as he puts When he died I was lost. His father had helped sow the seeds for N-Dubz, in recent years one of pop's most successful acts.
Following in the footsteps of So Solid Crew , who made the move from the underground into the charts, N-Dubz have in turn paved the way for rappers such as Tinchy Stryder and Wretch 32, allowing labels to see the commercial viability of artists who were previously a more niche proposition.
Dappy, Tulisa and Fazer his best friend since childhood spent months working on songs in a small office-cum-studio before playing clubs, uploading self-made videos onto YouTube and building an independent fanbase. He stressed to the point that he died [from it]," says Dappy. 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. 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?
They're quick to put these 'hood rats' down, but there's an 'if' and there's a 'why'. It was the night of madness.
