Shouldn't there be a disambuiguation page to distinguish between "Dappy" as the adjective, meaning "lack of common sense; unintelligent; foolish"? Reading this celebrity biography it appears as though the adjective and this celebrity could be all too easily confused. --Sce1313 (talk) 15:17, 15 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Middle class

I think it should be pointed out that Dappy and Tulisa did not grow up on the hard streets as they claim, but they are middle to upper class. They went to good schools, and lived in nice houses growing up as both of their fathers are rock stars from the band Mungo Jerry. http://www.contactmusic.com/news.nsf/story/contostavlos-takes-aim-tulisas-bad-girl-image_1223817 85.119.25.27 (talk) 08:47, 8 June 2011 (UTC) but i tells you i ams froms the streets nana niii — Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.255.37.147 (talk) 06:19, 4 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Upper class in Britain means aristocracy, so they're not that. Middle class generally refers to the professional classes, i.e. with a professional qualification (doctor, engineer, accountant, teacher etc). Plenty of working class people go to nice schools and live in nice houses. Below that are the criminal classes, and with his criminal convictions Dappy is certainly liable to be considered part of those. 2.28.151.204 (talk) 01:49, 1 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Solo project

There should be a section about his solo work and upcoming album which has the single 'No Regrets' on. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Soniclugia (talk • contribs) 06:37, 12 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

In the "N-Dubz break and solo career" part, last sentence first paragraph, it should say 'quoted to have said...' while right now it says 'quoted to of said...' which is clearly colloquial. 78.48.43.150 (talk) 19:09, 3 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

At the end of the summary paragraph it says "turning up one of or both the ear-flaps of the hat.", and should instead read "turning up one or both of the ear-flaps of the hat." (Move "of" from after "one" to after "both"). Jon Hasafi (talk) 16:32, 14 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Considering Dappy is known for being the lead singer of N-Dubz he deserves to have his own picture to go alongside his article, as his former group members – Tulisa and Frazer – have their own, therefore being the main image of the group you should give it to him.

Also you should mention about him being a contestant on this years 2014 UK Celebrity Big Brother.
