N-Dubz star Dappy hits back as fans say he ‘looks like Jafar from Aladdin’ after ditching trademark look

N-Dubz star Dappy has hit back at fans after he was accused of ‘looking like Jafar from Aladdin’.

Most know him for wearing his trademark beanie, bold sunglᴀsses and chunky chains.

But some fans were left in total shock when Dappy ditched his beanie in a recent video and unveiled a full head of hair – which people never knew he had. 

The rapper, 37, real name Costadinos Contostavlos, showed off his curly brown locks in a TikTok video as he recorded music in the studio.

A fan wrote: ‘Dappy out here looking like jifarr from Aladdin [sic].’

The fictional character is renowned for his elaborate goatee and headwear in the 1992 Disney animation.

Last month, Dappy was reportedly seen ‘getting angry’ and swearing at a fan on stage during a £6 gig after they derailed the performance. 

The rapper was seen in a video clip inviting a hardcore fan on stage to join him to sing his 2012 hit No Regrets with him at the Trilogy Nightclub in EsSєx.

As the performer – who was in the band with cousin and former X Factor judge Tulisa and pal Fazer – met up with the fan on the platform, he made a grabbing action with his hands.

But as Dappy, whose real name is Costadinos Contostavlos, threw the microphone over to him, the ticketholder dropped it on the floor. 

In a display dubbed as ‘rude,’ shirtless Dappy was reportedly seen mouthing: ‘F**king hell man.’

When Dappy was given his microphone back, it did not work which seemed to frustrate him further.

Dappy then banged it on his hand and tried to sing into it before lobbing it onto the floor himself. 

And fans of the former popstar were not impressed as they described his behaviour as ‘rude’.  

‘I thought he was rude to the fan that dropped the mic,’ claimed reveller Ellen Collins.

She also told NeedToKnow: ‘I was just really let down by his behaviour and atтιтude.

After the video was circulated online, his fan base also had a view on outburst as they questioned why he got so angry. 

One penned: ‘Why is he always so angry?’ while another claimed ‘I would have asked for my money back’.

MailOnline contacted Dappy’s representatives for a comment. 

The incident comes after he threatened to ‘twist the head off’ his management and ‘slap’ his accountants over unpaid money from his N-Dubz reunion tour in 2023.

He launched a scathing tirade on Instagram, claiming he has not been ‘paid a penny from the group’s sell-out reunion tour which had to add extra dates to meet fan demand.

The hitmaker claimed he will never write another song or perform with N-Dubz again if he is not paid for the tour.

In a now deleted post, seen by The Sun, he wrote: ‘Since N-Dubz comeback, I wasn’t paid a penny in any way, form or shape! I’ll never write another song or bar with N-Dubz again.

‘F**k N-Dubz and f**k everyone who helped manage them. I’ll never write another song or bar with N-Dubz again. 

He added: ‘I’m gonna twist your head off your shoulders when I catch you.

‘I’m slapping you sooo hard too you little f**k boy. I want my breaddddd.’

Dappy also shared a document which said spending on the tour budget was ‘way over what we expected’ and there were no funds to pay him. 

It read: ‘There are currently no funds currently available to Dappy from the N-Dubz money.

Dappy wrote: 'Since N-Dubz comeback, I wasn't paid a penny in any way, form or shape! I'll never write another song or bar with N-Dubz again'

Dappy wrote: ‘Since N-Dubz comeback, I wasn’t paid a penny in any way, form or shape! I’ll never write another song or bar with N-Dubz again’

‘We are still yet to receive everything from (the manager) but from what he has provided so far, the level of his spending on behalf of Dappy from the tour money is way over what we expected.

‘It’s not a case of Dappy not being paid for the tour, it’s a case of the money earnt by Dappy already being spent without his or our knowledge.

‘This spending has eaten in to the other band members’ pots. Again, we did not know this was happening.’

MailOnline contacted Dappy’s representatives for comment at the time.  

After forming in 2000, N-Dubz embarked on a successful career, which saw them release two platinum-certified albums, as well as eight top 40 hits.

Their most famous hits include No Regrets, Say It’s Over, Number One and Playing With Fire.

They parted ways in 2011 before reunting in 2022 and announced a 10-date reunion tour, adding another seven shows when it sold out in minutes.
