RAPPER Dappy could follow in cousin and N-Dubz bandmate Tulisa’s footsteps by becoming a TV talent judge.


The hip-hop star, 24, has been asked to front a new talent show for Sky TV.

It’s based on the same format as The X Factor but focuses on urban talent.

Our mole said: “A friend of Dappy’s let slip he’s been approached for a new reality TV show which will see rappers and R’n’B lyricists battle it out for a record contract.

Producers think Dappy is the perfect head judge. He’s opinionated, passionate and sharp-tongued.

“TV bigwigs think he will bring the same success that Tulisa has to the X Factor.

“A host of names are being thrown around as to who’ll join Dappy on the panel.

“These will include Sugababe Amelle Berrabah, Amerie and the Grammy- winning US producer Rodney Jerkins.

“Rodney has a host of huge names under his bow including Beyoncé, Lady Gaga, Jennifer Lopez and Kanye West.”
