Dizzee Rascal bags honorary doctorate

Dizzee Rascal has been bestowed with an honorary doctorate courtesy of the University of East London.

The UK rapper was given the honour on Monday (November 18) as a result of his services to the local community and the arts.

He was brought up in Bow, which is located near to the university.

Rascal meanwhile released his latest record 'The Fifth' in September this year.

It features the singles 'Goin' Crazy' and 'Something Really Bad', with the former featuring Robbie Williams.

The rapper took to Twitter recently to blast BBC Radio 1 and their playlist choices, despite the music man apparently receiving support from the station over the years.
