    Charity Beatbullying have confirmed to the BBC that they will no longer be working with N-Dubz star Dappy after he sent a death threat text message to a Radio 1 listener.

    Dappy became involved with the government backed campaign, Beatbullying, in 2009 and even made a speech protesting against cyber bullying.

    N-Dubz themselves even wrote the song called 'R U Cyber Safe?' for the cause.

    Yet despite this, he still took the time to send a death threat to a 22-year-old Chloe Moody after she called him “vile” and “a little boy with a hat” on Chris Moyles' breakfast show.

    After securing her number from the Radio 1 production team's text console, Dappy wrote: "Your gonna die, U sent a very bad msg towards N Dubz on The Chris Moyels show yesterday Morning and for that reason u will never be left alone!! If u say sorry I will leave u alone u ****."

    Two further abuse texts were sent as well as several missed calls.


    Now, BBC news has revealed that Dappy has been dropped by Beatbullying saying: “Charity Beatbullying say it has 'have no further plans' to work with N-Dubz after Dappy sent threatening texts to a radio listener.”

    A spokeswoman for the anti-bullying charity said earlier today: "Beatbullying in no way condones this behaviour and we stress that sending any threatening messages of any kind is completely unacceptable."

    Dappy issued a full apology to Radio 1, Ms Moody and also promised to donate some money to charity.

    • Awww what a kind hearted soul... donating money to a charity solely in an attempt to salvage his image. You can donate as much money as you like Dobber, you're still a muppet.
