Rap star Dappy has shocked fans by posting a web message apparently threatening to shoot his business associates over a cash row.
In a rant on Instagram, the 36-year-old – who became a household name in N-Dubz – claimed he had been left £580,000 out of pocket. Dappy posted a gun emoji and wrote: “If anyone owed me even just a pinky [£50] on da roads I’d bunnn dem.” The word “bun” is street slang for firing a gun.
Dappy named an agent and a management firm, and said: “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.” Dappy formed N-Dubz with his cousin, Tulisa Contostavlos, and rapper Richard ‘Fazer’ Rawson.

Former Big Brother contestant Dappy, who has 377,000 Insta followers, has had a chequered past of violent crime.
