The controversial rapper was at his Academy 2 gig in Manchester on Sunday night, just after Little Mix were crowned the victors on the ITV1 show, leaving Tulisa in tears of joy in her first year as a talent show judge.
Dappy started by congratulating Tulisa on her victory, but then, as he launched into his new song, which features Queen guitarist Brian May, boasted: “This is what fame is, not standing for hours outside to audition for X Factor.”
And Tulisa is sure to be less than delighted that Dappy made a direct shot at her X Factor boss Simon Cowell, as he exclaimed “**** Simon Cowell” at one point during the gig.
The 24-year-old Camden rapper – real name Costadinos Contostavlos – burst on stage wearing his trademark big hat and shades, and offered plenty of “na na naii’s” for the audience to sing along to.
Despite struggling with a sore throat, he belted out hits from his band – including Playing With Fire and Girls – as well as the chart topper Number One.
But fans at the gig were the ones left cursing at the end of the night – as Dappy performed a 25 minute set before changing his hat for his encore of latest number one single No Regrets.
The whole gig was done and dusted within 35 minutes. One member of the audience said: “As the crowd dispersed there were lots of angry fans left wondering aloud what exactly they’d paid their £15 entry for.
“He might have been cursing Simon Cowell, but there were a fair few people cursing Dappy at the end of the night.”
