Dizzee Rascal Convicted Of Assault

The UK grime artist reportedly smashed a journalist’s camera when leaving court.

Dizzee Rascal has been found guilty of assaulting his former partner.

As ABC News reports, a jury at Wimbledon Magistrates Court in London convicted the UK grime artist, whose real name is Dylan Kwabena Mills, over an incident that happened last June.

Last August it was reported the musician had been charged after he headbutted his girlfriend at the time, Cassandra Jones.

The assault reportedly happened during a “chaotic” argument over custody arrangements, with Mills said to have pressed his forehead against Jones’ before pushing her to the ground.

It’s also reported that shortly after being found guilty, Mills smashed the camera of a reporter outside the court.
