Dizzee Rascal guilty of assaulting ex-fiancee

Dizzee Rascal has been found guilty of assaulting his ex-fiancee during a row over child contact and finances. The grime artist, 37, whose real name is Dylan Mills, has been found guilty of attacking Cassandra Jones by pressing his forehead against hers and pushing her to the ground during a "chaotic" row at a residential property in Streatham, south London, on June 8 last year.

The 37-year-old behind chart-topping singles Bonkers and Dance Wiv Me was "frustrated" over custody arrangements and the pair had an argument when he dropped off their daughter at the property. Mills, who had two children with Ms Jones before they split up in February 2021, was said to have "barged" into the home, banged his head on a fridge three times while holding his son and began "screaming and shouting" at Ms Jones and her mother Dawn Kirk.

The court heard how Ms Jones began filming him but he took her phone from her and then took Ms Kirk's phone. The court heard how the shouting became so loud that it alerted two neighbours and police were called.
