But the rapper, real name Costadinos Contostavlos, stunned his TikTok followers after revealing a brand new look from inside the studio yesterday.
The Strong Again hitmaker sported shaggy brown locks and sunglasses, wearing an oversized grey tracksuit hoodie and brown joggers.
When one fan commented: " Dappy out here looking like jifarr from Aladdin," he replied: "My bad thought u lot knew I had hair under the hat lol."
Jafar is the main villain in Disney's 1992 animated Aladdin, best known for his sinister goatee, black robes and twisted staff.
He was originally voiced by American actor Jonathan Freeman, who also played the character on Broadway.
Dappy shot to fame alongside his cousin Tulisa Contostavlos and Richard "Fazer" Rawson in North West London based group, N-Dubz.
Together, they received wide critical acclaim and earned eight Top 40 hits in the singles charts.
Dappy was the brainchild behind a lot of their songs, and was the main writer in the band - with their album Uncle B reaching platinum status in the UK.
The group started in 2000, but went on a "hiatus" to focus on their solo careers in 2011, before reuniting in May 2022.
It is believed Dappy is currently single.
He was in a long-term relationship with Kaye Vassell, but it is understood they have now split.
The pair have two sons together Gino and Milo.
According to net worth estimation site networthtomb.com, Dappy's last recorded net worth is around £1.6million.
He has made most of his money through endorsement deals, sponsorships and ads.
In 2014, Dappy narrowly avoided being declared bankrupt after failing to pay a tax bill worth more than £140,000.
