N Dubz rapper Dappy in ‘clash’ with truncheon-wielding police on Ibiza after blasting out new song
N-DUBZ’s Dappy is filmed in an altercation with Spanish police outside an Ibiza nightclub where his friends appear to have been beaten with batons.
Dappy, 36, clenched a giant bottle of vodka and blared his group’s latest hit, The Ick, from a white Lamborghini as a group sang along around him.
In a clip posted to his Instagram page, the rapper and the group, which also included bandmate Fazer and YouTube star Yung Filly, huddled around the car singing the latest release.
As the group continued to enjoy themselves, a police siren sounded in the distance, disrupting the group’s revelry.
Police officers brandishing batons were filmed arriving at the scene directing the group away before being filmed wielding the batons.
In a separate video, the N-word was also clearly heard during the confrontation, as Fazer said he was “racially abused.”

Dappy posted a photo of one of his friends who appears to have a giant stick-shaped mark on his back

One of the officers, baton in hand, then punches one of the revelers and orders them to leave.
This is met with shocked cries from the rest of the group, who appeared to have been pushed off the road.
Dappy – whose real name is Costadinos Contostavlos – and his friends were then shown jumping into the white Lamborghini and driving away from Spanish police.
One of the officers uses his baton again and slams into the back of a speeding luxury sports car. Again, part of the remaining group, including the filmer, gave an audible shock.
After the two videos he posted on his Instagram account with more than 370,000 followers, Dappy also shared two photos of his friends with red spots on their backs.
Both markings are shaped as if they were made with a stick.
It’s not clear what prompted the initial confrontation, or why officers initially objected to the group.

Dappy posted the series of clips and images with the caption, “Watch to the end… TRIGGER WARNING Who are the real criminals here?!”
Young Filly responded to the post and expressed his anger at the police. “Had to ruin our mood, we were drunk and happy kmt,” the YouTuber said, noting his anger when he used the abbreviation for “kiss my teeth.”
Following the incident, Fazer also posted a clip of the incident on his Instagram page, where he said he had been “racially abused and assaulted,” and mentioned the N-word.
‘Trigger warning. I wasn’t going to post this but most people wouldn’t understand what it’s like to be racially abused and assaulted!!’ Fazer said.
âBut getting it done legally is another thing! Thanks Spain, but how are you going to explain this? man got caught calling me a N***** in 4k.â
The clip showed an officer appearing to hit Fazer from behind. The rapper, dressed in a turquoise tracksuit, was about to get into the car and drive away when he was hit on the back.
Amidst the commotion, the N-word can clearly be heard as the police officer hits the car with his bat.
Dappy also replied to Fazer’s post: ‘Brooooo this corner đ thing is, me and Fazer parked da lambs and runnnn back for them but we saw waps on hips so we did the right thing. If that was in da uk we would we SMOKED dem [sic].’
