I've never 'got'

I remember all the hype about Dizze Rascal when he first came on the scene - they prortrayed him as this badass and he lived upon the 'fact' that he was some roughneck from the tough streets of Hackney, broken home, no opportunities, gangs with knives & guns - all the usual shite

Few years later he's on kids TV and playing at the Brit Awards - yeah, proper gangster mate>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Perhaps he grew up?
