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.

The Duchess of Sussex, 43, uploaded a new Instagram post that included special moments from their visit to the Happiest Place on Earth to celebrate their daughter Lillibet's fourth birthday. It comes just days after she sparked controversy over a throwback clip of herself twerking in a hospital room ahead of Lillibet's birth. Markle shared a video montage from the two-day Disneyland vacation as the family had a blast on numerous rides and indulged in yummy treats. One snippet showed both Lillibet and their son Archie, six, having the chance to meet Disney princess Elsa from Frozen. Meghan held her children's hands as they slowly walked over to take pictures with the character in a sweet moment.

Win Son Bakery
In Williamsburg, Josh Ku and Trigg Brown had already made their stake on the corner of Montrose and Graham Avenues, with their full-service Taiwanese restaurant Win Son. But as their restaurant started to trend, they decided they would open a casual affair across the street, opening Win Son Bakery with Jesse Shapell and pastry chef Danielle Spencer in 2019. Years later, the bakery has become a favorite of the neighborhood due to its Taiwanese fare crossed with French and American influences. The first meal of the day starts with a riff on a BEC that we can get behind. Subbing bread for crispy fried and yet still chewy scallion pancakes, the pancakes are folded with Havarti, bacon, eggs and cheese. Plus, each sandwich comes with a gingery sauce for dipping. Lunch continues with fried chicken and shrimp on milk buns and snow pea salads with tofu skin. No matter what, a visit should always include an order of both (yeah, we said it, both!) made-to-order donuts: the millet mochi donut and the fermented red rice donut. Once you get a bite of that QQ texture, you'll understand why. The vibe: There are plenty of tables and stools here, but they are constantly in use, especially during the morning time. Luckily, the residents of Williamsburg know when it is time to give up a table, so you won't have to wait long to snag a seat. The food: Mornings call for the meaty Pork Fan Tuan or the savory Scallion Pancake BEC. Like we said, the donuts are non-negotiable—you have to order them and that's final.

Disneyland announces it is shutting down beloved ride as part of wave of changes at the park
Disneyland has revealed it is shutting down one of its beloved rides to make way for a new attraction. The California resort announced last summer that a new Avatar themed ride would be making its way to fans. But now it has emerged that will be at the cost of a beloved fan-favorite attraction; Monsters, Inc. Mike and Sulley to the Rescue! The ride is set to close at the beginning at 2026 in order to make way for a new era of Disneyland. The current attraction whisks riders through scenes from the Monsters Inc universe as characters Mike and Sulley race through the streets of Monstropolis to rescue Boo. It was launched in 2006, allowing millions of guests to enjoy the 20-year run. Not only is Monstropolis getting a makeover, part of Disneyland California Resort's backlot where the ride is located will be reconstructed to immerse park-goers into the world of Avatar. However, unlike Florida's Disneyworld, this iteration will not be based on the original 'Avatar' film. Instead the area will become a visual recreation of ' Avatar: The Way of Water ' According to Disney Parks Blog and may even feature concepts from upcoming Avatar films. Concept imagery shows the headlining ride taking fans through the sparkling blue lagoons of Pandora. The area will be centered around the water, recreating the landscape of the film and allowing park-goers to feel fully immersed, as if they are Avatars themselves. Disney officials describe the addition as 'dynamic, intense and an emotional experience on a grand scale', the LA Times reports. An opening and construction timeline has yet to be released. But Park-goers who loved the Monsters Inc ride are mourning its closure. 'So disappointing. Why they would make an Avatar land is beyond me. Part of the appeal of DCA is it's better for littler kids. This was one of the anchor rides for that experience. More disappointment,' wrote X user Rami Elghandour. 'They should just give us a Monsters Inc. land instead,' said another user. Park-goers who loved the fan-favorite attraction are mourning its closure 'This sucks! Avatar fits ten times better in Animal Kingdom than DCA… transitioning from Hollywood Land to Avatar? Really? Nope. Down with the idea—would rather have the Muppets back and keep Monsters Inc. alive to preserve kid-friendly rides in the park! There's not enough for little ones to do!' another fan chimed in. '@DisneyParks has no idea how to do the 'theme' in theme parks anymore. Just random stuff everywhere now,' complained another. 'R.I.P. Monsters. I'll forever miss you,' one user simply mourned. The new themed area was announced alongside other exciting additions to the Disneyland landscape, including a new 'Coco' attraction located near Pixar Pier at Disneyland California Adventure. This will mark the first 'Coco' activity in any Disney theme park, Disney Parks Blog writes. 'The attraction will be filled with the characters — and music! — you know and love from the beloved movie, as you join Miguel on a trip to the land of the dead.' Construction will begin in in fall 2026. Disney also plans on adding two new 'Avengers' attractions to Avengers Campus in Disneyland's California Adventure, although creators have yet to release a timeline for their construction. Disney also promised a new parking structure to accommodate demand for their millions of guests, according to Disney Parks Blog. 'This new area will provide approximately 6,000 parking spaces, shuttle and rideshare areas, security screening and dedicated access for traffic off of Disney Way, improving parking and traffic flow throughout the resort area' While this transformation marks an ending for many beloved rides, Disneyland continues to add one new attraction after the other in theme with new films and fan favorites. As Monster's Inc. fans mourn the loss of the classic ride, Avatar fans can get excited about ushering in a brand new era. 'This is just the beginning of exciting growth here at Disneyland Resort, and we look forward to sharing more about all of these projects in the future,' a spokesman said.
