British rapper Dizzee Rascal has been found guilty at Wimbledon Magistrates’ Court of assaulting his ex-fiancée.

The 37-year-old musician – real name Dylan Kwabena Mills – was accused of assaulting Cassandra Jones, his former partner and mother of his two children, on 8 June, 2021.

Mills and Jones had split in February of that year.

The Bonkers artist denied assault by beating, however today, March 3, he was found guilty.

Police were called to a residence in Streatham, South London on the afternoon of 8 June, 2021.

The court heard that Mills 'barged' his way into Jones' apartment when dropping off his daughter, before 'screaming and shouting' with his son in his arms, and hitting his own head three times on her fridge, as per Sky News.

After having 'put his forehead against hers and pushed her around the room', the rapper allegedly 'pushed' his ex-fiancée 'to the ground'.

The singer, who has an MBE for his services to music, was arrested on suspicion of common assault and later charged.

At the time, the Metropolitan Police reported that a woman had received 'minor injuries' but 'did not require hospital treatment'.

During Mills' trial at Wimbledon Magistrates' Court, boxer David Hayes – who has known the rapper for more than 10 years – acted as a character witness for him.

He stated: "I would describe Dylan as a stand-up and down-to-earth kind of man. Dylan is a very easy individual to get along with.

"He remained humble, having built himself up from nothing. He would rarely be seen out at celebrity social functions for the simple reason that he prefers to stay at home and spend time with his family."

Haye stated that he had 'never seen Dylan lose his temper nor display any signs of anger' and that the rapper was 'always calm and collected' as well as being a 'role-model father'.

The assault is also reported as having 'shocked' Tanya Chehrehnegary, an ex-girlfriend of Mills.

"There have been many situations where your average person would get quite defensive but he's always dealt with things in a very calm and collected manner.

"Whenever we argued he would always remove himself from the situation and always end it on a funny note where I would end up laughing about something and that would be the end of it," she said.
