N-Dubz, a prominent force in British music, made a lasting impact with their hip hop style, urban aesthetic, and use of colloquial language. Comprising Tulisa ‘Tulisa’ Contostavlos, Costadinos ‘Dappy’ Contostavlos, and Richard ‘Fazer’ Rawson, the trio enjoyed success from 2007 to 2011.
Following an 11-year break to explore individual endeavors, the group announced their reunion in May 2022, dropping the single “Charmer” and embarking on a sold-out UK arena tour. Tulisa reemerged in the public eye last year by participating in the 24th season of “I’m A Celebrity.”
Let’s delve into the recent whereabouts of her fellow bandmates…
Dappy, the lead vocalist of the hip hop outfit rooted in Camden, was recognized for his unique fashion sense and signature headgear, often sporting woolly chullos with distinct ear-flap styles. He played a pivotal role in the band’s inception, contributing significantly to their songwriting.
Post the 2011 hiatus, Dappy ventured into a solo music career, achieving chart success with his hit single “No Regrets.” Expressing a desire to earn respect from a mature audience, he aimed for consecutive number one singles as a solo artist. Notably, Dappy also appeared on Celebrity Big Brother in 2014, securing the runner-up position.
Continuing to pursue his musical endeavors, Dappy released an EP in December 2015 and unveiled his latest album, “Fortune,” in 2021. Recently, he launched a fresh single titled “OMF,” actively promoting it on social media. His current relationship status remains undisclosed, having previously shared a long-term partnership with Kaye Vassell, with whom he has two sons, Gino and Milo.
When N-Dubz went on hiatus, Fazer transitioned to a behind-the-scenes role in the music industry, focusing on production work instead of performing. His production credits include collaborations with renowned artists like Rihanna, Jessie J, and Rita Ora.
In addition to his production work, Fazer released solo material, including the track “Tears” in 2022. Expressing aspirations to venture into movie soundtracks, he aims to establish himself as a prominent figure in the film industry, drawing parallels to renowned composer Hans Zimmer. Fazer’s family life holds immense importance to him, as he shares a fulfilling relationship with girlfriend Ashley Havelin, with whom he has four children.
Tulisa initially maintained a high profile post-N-Dubz, joining the X-Factor judging panel in 2011 as the show’s youngest judge at 23. She mentored rising stars like Little Mix and pursued a solo career, albeit facing challenges due to controversies, including a legal battle following drug-related allegations.
After a period of laying low, Tulisa resurfaced in 2024 as a contestant on the 24th season of I’m A Celebrity. Despite a brief stint on the reality show, she made a notable return to the limelight. Recently, Tulisa released a revealing autobiography titled “Judgement: Love, Trials, and Tribulations.”
