N-Dubz' Dappy often lies to Police

N-Dubz' Dappy - real name Dino Contostavlos - has admitted that he often gives Police false information whenever he's stopped and searched. "Up to this day we still give the wrong name and address," the rap star said. Dappy makes the admission in a Channel 4 documentary called 'Being N-Dubz'. 


In the programme, to be broadcast on Monday (June 21), the 23-year-old Londoner also talks about how he used to dodge train fares but is now "legit".

Dappy's latest admission follows an earlier revelation on GMTV that he took the drug mephedrone, before it was made illegal. He also made headlines in January after sending threatening text messages to a BBC Radio One listener, resulting in N-Dubz being dropped as ambassadors of an anti-bullying charity.

The Channel 4 show follows the three-piece band - Dappy, his cousin Tulisa and best friend Richard "Fazer" Rawson - as they walk around the north London area where they grew up. It sees Dappy reveal the police "used to be a big problem to us back in the day" and "used to chase us anywhere we used to go".
