British rapper Dappy has landed himself in hot water over an Instagram\u00a0rant allegedly threatening to shoot his business associates over a \u00a3580,000 cash row.<\/p>\n
The N-Dubz artist, 36, claimed he had been left more more than half-a-million pounds out of pocket and named an agent and management firm ostensibly responsible, according to The Mirror.<\/p>\n
The paper reported that Dappy posted a gun emoji and wrote: ‘If anyone owed me even just a pinky [\u00a350] on da roads I’d bunnn dem.’ Bun refers to shooting a gun.<\/p>\n
‘These funny looking fed c***s think they can just rob me like this and that’s mad. Watch [when] I actually see one of you.’\u00a0<\/p>\n
The English singer-songwriter from Camden is the lead singer of hip hop and grime trio N-Dubz, which he formed with his cousin Tulisa and rapper Fazer in 2000.<\/p>\n

Dappy, with 377,000 followers on the platform, released his fourth studio album with N-Dubz, Timeless, on August 4, 2023.<\/p>\n
The group formed in 2000 and rose to considerable success in the noughties before disbanding.<\/p>\n
At their height, the group produced two platinum-certified albums, two gold-certified albums, won five MOBO awards, received a Brit Award nomination and had thirteen top 40 singles.<\/p>\n
Dappy, real name\u00a0Costadinos Contostavlos, and his cousin, Tulisa, later pursued solo careers – with Tulisa going on to mentor groups on the X Factor, including Little Mix.<\/p>\n
In 2010,\u00a0Contostavlos appeared on The Chris Moyles Show on BBC Radio 1 with Tulisa and Fazer.<\/p>\n
On the show a listener texted in to complain about Dappy, calling him ‘a little boy with a silly hat’.<\/p>\n
The singer copied her phone number and later tried to call her before sending her threatening messages including: ‘Your [sic] gonna die.’<\/p>\n
His management team later apologised on his behalf.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Dappy went on to have a successful solo career, re-recording No Regrets as his debut single in 2011 and reaching number one in the UK Singles chart.<\/p>\n

He was later arrested by armed police in 2017 after allegedly threatening to ‘stab officers in the face’.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The former N-Dubz star, 29, was said to have been in an altercation with a woman outside a property in Hatfield, Hertfordshire, with police called to the scene.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Officers responded to reports he had allegedly attacked the woman with a tennis racquet and had to be ‘pulled off her’ by four students.<\/p>\n
He was ultimately given a nine-month suspended sentence.<\/p>\n
MailOnline contacted the singer’s representatives for comment.\u00a0<\/p>\n
