In 2017, Dizzee released the single Space, with a live-streamed teaser trailer, and he announced his sixth studio album, Raskit, which peaked at number 10 on the UK albums chart. He claimed he approached Kim and greeted her, sitting down next to her - and she immediately scooted over to the next seat so they were no longer sitting together. He said the Australian host of the MTV Awards encouraged him to go and "chat up" Kim, who was dating Reggie Bush at the time. However, Dizzee did reveal he tried it on with Kim Kardashian the day he met Khloe, and was brutally rejected. "I've met her, she's a lovely girl," Dizzee told DJ Vlad on his YouTube channel, but he denied "hooking up" with Khloe and said he was unaware of the rumour. "He had to leave town and we both didn't live here, we all came here for the awards," she added, and many put two and two together and presumed Dizzee was the mystery man. In 2010, Dizzee won Best British Male at the BRIT Awards, and he re-released Tongue n' Cheek with extra singles including Dirtee Disco, which scored a number one. Kaya, 23, died with her two friends when a lorry hit their stationary car when they had stopped in the slow lane after running out of fuel.ĭizzee's music would then take off once again with four number one hits in one album, Tongue n' Cheek, including singles Dance wiv Me and Bonkers. His ex-girlfriend, model Kaya Bousquet, who he had dated for two years, died in a high-speed crash on the M1 motorway. As of May 2007, the album has sold over 16,000 units in the United Statesa decline on his debut album, Boy in da Corner, which sold 58,000. In 2008, Dizzee was struck by horror again. Showtime is the second studio album by grime artist Dizzee Rascal, released on 6 September 2004 and 14 September in the United States. Since then, the two artists have taken public jabs at each other on social media and in diss records, with Wiley claiming in 2017 that Dizzee needed him to "make him relevant again". "That’s all I wish, because if he stuck with us, then it might have been a different story." "That is the reason me and Dizzee haven’t spoken all these years," he added.Īnd in his autobiography, Ekiboy, Wiley wrote: "I wish wasn’t on his own when it happened.
He believe Dizzee thought he wouldn't have been stabbed if Wiley didn't continue the fight. "Well, after we started it up again, those guys came looking for us, but the person they found was Dizzee," he explained. "The reason we haven’t spoken for so many years?… Basically, me and Dizzee went out one night and there was some fighting with another crew… Then the next day, I decided to carry it on – I didn’t pull out a knife, I was just fighting," said Wiley. They added: "He was treated for wounds to the back, buttocks and chest at the Napa Olympic clinic, where he was kept under police protection until he discharged himself."ĭizzee left Roll Deep shortly afterwards, and Wiley claimed in in 2016 that his long-running feud with Dizzee began after this horror incident. The publication said Dizzee was "dragged from his scooter in broad daylight and subjected to a vicious knife attack before he was due to perform at the resort’s Gas Club".
