N-Dubz's Dappy extends his brand identity to death threats
You may have heard that Dappy, the be-hatted wee gonad-y looking one off the N-Dubz who is apparently addicted to crashing model airplanes (?!), got himself into a spot of bov recently.
If you haven’t, the story in a nutshell is:
While Dappy’s behaviour was rather naughty, one has to applaud the fact that he managed to get N-Dubz’s trademark catchphrase into one of his succinct missives. Here’s the one I’m talking about:

“Nana niii” (you’ll have to excuse me if my spelling is incorrect, I looked it up in the dictionary but it weren’t there - possibly because it doesn’t actually mean anything) is the cry you can hear on many N-Dubz songs, allowing you to identify them easily lest you think you’re listening to John Mayer.

It’s a canny thing, an aural trademark, and to take it into other areas of your life - as Dappy has - shows a determination to extend his/N-Dubz’s brand identity sadly lacking in the majority of pop stars. It also leads you to suspect that Dappy sees “Nana niii” as so synonymous with his sense of self that he employs it anywhere and everywhere.
The butcher, the cobbler, the librarian - I’m guessing all have had a taste of “Nana niii”. Indeed perhaps Dappy - not the most gifted of communicators, as we’ve seen - dispenses with all other words if a “Nana niii” will do.
“Ah, you’ve brought back the Milan Kundera book at last, Dappy. I’m afraid it’s two years overdue, so there’s a fine of
