Today’s poll on the Daily Mail is intriguing. Currently, the majority of people think the answer to that question is ‘Yes’
Loser from N-Dubz threatens to kill someone who doesn’t like his music
The inanely named ‘Dappy’ of pointless repulsive losers N-Dubz has had to apologise to a woman he sent threatening text messages to. Not by itself very funny, but the more you read into it, the more hilarious it becomes.
Chloe Moody texted The Chris Moyles Show while the band were being interviewed, calling them “losers” and labelling Dappy “repulsive”.
But she was shocked to receive a message the following day from rapper Dappy saying: “Your [sic] gonna die”.
The BBC said Dappy took down Ms Moody’s number without producers’ knowledge.
So, a woman texts Chris Moyles to tell him she doesn’t like a repulsive band, and one of the losers in said band take this as an opportunity to send her death threats. That’s taking being a bit touchy about your music to extremes I’d say.
He texts a few more times, with such gems as:
U sent a very bad msg towards Ndubz on The Chris Moyels [sic] Show yesterday Morning and for that reason u will never be left alone!!! If u say sorry I will leave you alone.
Obviously, this poor woman has absolutely no idea who would be sending her such ridiculous messages. I mean, who the hell likes N-Dubz enough that you’d threaten to stalk and kill someone who didn’t like them? I guess if she’d thought on a bit, the only answer to that question is ‘a member of N-Dubz’.
Eventually, they speak over the phone, and Dappy (or Dino, for that is his real name) rants at her some more. Now he’s been forced to apologise by his management company and he says:
“I called her in the heat of the moment when I was angry, but that is no excuse for my behaviour.
“I’m genuinely sorry. I’d also like to send my sincerest apologies to Radio 1.”
So, he’s apologised to Radio 1, but not to the person he threatened to kill for not liking his music. Hmm.
His record company has “offered her free N-Dubz concert tickets”. She’ll be taking them up in a shot, I’m sure.
Finally, the BBC say:
“He must have taken the number down from the production team’s text console in the studio.
“We were unaware of this, but will take steps to ensure it doesn’t happen again.”
Really, the BBC have to make sure they don’t show any guests their computer screens, in case they take down the numbers and make death threats towards the listeners? Blimey.
Oh, and:
Last November, Dappy joined Schools Secretary Ed Balls to launch a Government campaign against “cyber-bullying” over mobile phones and the internet.
