Apprentice Paul’s killer rapper cousin Crazy Titch star serving life for shooting music producer
The show I can’t stand is… The Apprentice.e. I just find a lot of them very ery bullish. I feeleel that way about mostt reality TV.
Ordinary Lies, BBC1, Tuesday, October 18 8 I’M not sure Lord Sugar knows much about rap. So here’s something he won’t hear in the b boardroom – Apprentice hopeful Paul Sullivan’s cousin is a renowned grime artist serving life for murder. Lond London rapper Crazy Titch, real name Carl Dobson, was jailed in 2006 for sho shooting music producer Richard Hol Holmes in a row over a song’s lyrics. I can reveal Dobson’s violent past as h his relative, marketing exec Paul, 38, tries to land a £250,000 investme ment from Lord Sugar. D Dobson was 23 when he took rev revenge after half-brother Dwayne Ma Mahorn, 31, also a rapper known as Dur Durrty Goodz, was “disrespected” in a so song by up-and-coming rap star Shaba Shah in 2005. He was furious after hearing Shaba’s line: “Over the years, things change in the hood. I used to have a lot of respect for Durrty Goodz – not no more.”
Dobson confronted track producer Richard – a pal of Shaba – in Chingford Hall Estate, te, East London.
As others thers f led, Richard, 21, stood up to the rapperr and accomplice Anthonythony Green, but a handgun andgun was held to hiss head before he was shot in the back and blasted in the leg withh a MAC- 10 machine gun.
Dobsonon – who sparred with rapper Dizzee Rascal during an MC battle recorded for pirate radio in 2003 – got a minimum 30 years at the Old Bailey, along with Green.
A source close to the Apprentice candidate said: “He and Carl knew each other growing up butbu didn’t see much of each other after Carl was 10.
“He knew what happened and felt Carl had had a tough life.”
In the first episode of this series, for the first time, both Apprentice teams failed their task.
Tune in to BBC1 on Thursday at 9pm to find out how the candidates get on making sweets.
