Dizzee Rascal has been arrested following an alleged incident involving a baseball bat.

The 24-year-old, whose real name is Dylan Mills, was held on suspicion of possessing an offensive weapon in Sevenoaks Way, Orpington, Kent at around 3.30pm on Friday (December 12).

He was released on bail to return to a south London police station later this month, reports Sky News.

A police spokesman said: "A 24-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of being in possession of an offensive weapon.

"He has been bailed until later this month."

Oranges and lemons, a baseball bat is not an offensive weapon, but it is when your walking to someones house to stove their head in with it like i bet dizzie was doing. Sirdannytee it is highly unlikely he was going to play baseball at 11 at night.
