Dappy has been found guilty of affray in light of the court case that's been going on over an incident involving him and two women at a petrol station in Guildford, Surrey. The story goes that Dappy asked the two women if they wanted to come back with him, after bumping into them at the garage in the evening.

When the women rejected his advance, he repotedly spat at them, the incident spiralling into a fight between Dappy, some of his pals, and some men who happened to be nearby. I have been broke for 18 years of my life, I am financially stable, I am grateful for it, I have done nothing to those girls. The incident allegedly occurred after Dappy had asked the two if they wanted to come back with him after bumping into them at the garage. When they said know he is supposed to have spat at them, the incident setting in motion a chain of events that led to a fight between him, his friends and some nearby men.

Dappy , that most unlovable scamp from British group N-Dubz , has decided to plead not guilty to four charges of assault and affray at Guildford Crown court. Pretty unpleasant if it turns out to be true. The Guardian reports that the charges levelled against Dappy — real name Costadinos Contostavlos — are that he was alleged to have approached two 18 year-old women in February last year and asked them to come with him; when they refused a fight apparently broke out between the star and his pals, with some other men who were presumably loitering about nearby.

He called the girls 'slags'. He described one of them as 'ugly'. And then as a result of one of the girls calling him 'boring', he [spat at them]. The strongest competition for Jake will be coming from across the pond, in the shape of the fourth studio album from Taylor Swift entitled Red. Her profile has increased considerably since then, though — thanks in no small part to her contribution to the Hunger Games soundtrack.

Manchester, England. N-Dubz have teamed up with the Little Big Planet's creators to make the first music video created on a Playstation. Directed by N-Dubz and music video director Henry Schofield the idea behind it was to take scenes and ideas from past videos and emulate the performances.

I was clearly an ndubz fan too! RT TheDappy: Link up video out nowwwwww! Little shook I actually saw them both tbh.. Out now!!!! RT officialtulisa: Biography by Contactmusic.

You were young, I say. That demonstrated a great deal of dedication and discipline. N-Dubz gained a significant fan base while still unsigned and underground; their self-released videos received airplay on urban digital channel Channel U. But in they began to receive mainstream attention. In November of that year, following exposure on YouTube and spiralling viral support, they were awarded a Mobo for best newcomer. Things were looking up. I can't imagine how painful that must have been, I say.

For all of you, but for Dappy specifically. To lose your mentor, your manager. Your father. His tone doesn't vary; he's still excitable, bouncy, silly, inclined to segue off on wild conversational tangents.

Crying on stage! He could feel it. He had bronchitis in his lungs. Infect, infect, blocked artery…" Dappy makes a comedy choking noise, squeezes his own throat. He stops. A week later, when I join the band on a video shoot in the south of France, I overhear him telling the video director that he needs to be shot from a certain angle because "it shows the Dad tattoo better".

Dappy's grief is opaque and coded and discordantly intertwined with the earliest stages of N-Dubz's success. It has been a little over three years since Uncle B died, and a little over two and a half since the band began securing hits and growing their fan base exponentially via Being N-Dubz , the Channel 4 documentary devoted to them. They were dropped by Polydor but soon re-signed to All Around the World, a subsidiary of the same parent company, Universal.

Their music has tipped them into ubiquity through the course of If you think you don't know N-Dubz's songs, you're completely wrong. You do. It's as buoyant, irrepressible and infectious as Dappy — and it is playing out on any radio station remotely interested in snaring a teenage demographic. You'll know it by Dappy's recurring "Na na, na-ay" and by Tulisa's cod-operatic warblings.

We've just come back from America, from LA, and stuff, where we're not really known yet, so…". Which might even turn out to be the case. In November, the band will release their first single on Def Jam. They're vague on their precise strategy for breaking the US, but as far as I can work out, it revolves around elocution lessons and not using "innit" as a lyric any more.

Other people around the world, if we say, 'Get dahn! Oh, but hang on: you've stopped the arguing? I say. Dappy and Tulisa's fights are epic, the main narrative strand in the Being N-Dubz documentaries.

We've stopped. It's been a month, now. She leans forward and sweeps her super-long hair extensions off her shoulders. The base of her neck reads "Dappy". Tulisa smiles a satisfied smile. I am intrigued by Tula Constostavlos. Dappy is preposterously charismatic, and Fazer is a competent sidekick, but Tulisa is a truly interesting proposition, rare by anyone's standards.

I'd initially assumed she was window dressing, but later I'd begun to understand the extent of the power she wields over her bandmates and how central and defining a part of the proceedings she was. And then I watched Tulisa: My Mum and Me , a BBC3 documentary which revealed that, aged 11, Tulisa had become the primary carer for her mother, Anne, who suffers from an extreme mood disorder, an intense combination of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. In the film, Tulisa talked dispassionately about watching her mother being sectioned for the first time when Tulisa was five; about how the stress of the situation had pushed her to self-harm, to eating disorders, to depression.

She explained that she had attempted suicide twice before she was she'd tried to overdose on pills at 14 and slashed her wrists three years later. Tulisa began writing songs as therapy at 11; Uncle B and N-Dubz became a refuge for her. When I ask her where she'd be without N-Dubz, she says, steadily: "It would be suicide. I don't want to go on and bring it all back to the depression, but… I would not be here.

The Independent newspaper said you could "encourage their viewers to indulge in criminality". Are they right? There's a lot of kids from a very good background, they come down to where we live and all they want to do is fit in with people like us that haven't really had a good start in life. I'm trying to say to them there is no need to do that. You're in a great position. You wouldn't last a minute where I'm from, you'd go missing. So appreciate what you've got because for that I'm still wishing.

Not many British urban artists have broken though to the big time - why is that and why will you be different? The majority of urban artists are stuck in a car park. They are afraid to expand their degrees of knowledge in music.

You have to know about a verse leading into the bridge, crescendo into the chorus, back out into a verse, bridge, chorus, middle eight. Even if you want to do garage, grime, all that funny fast stuff, you have to know how to make a song, how to keep people interested. In my spare time, I listen to [London pop radio station] Magic George Michael, Phil Collins, Roachford, The Police - these are all very big inspirations to us and we take that back to our little laboratory in Finsbury Park and come up with our smashers that every single teenager in the UK is raving about at the moment.

Where have your hats come from?
