Dizzee Rascal is now trained as a plasterer. The rapper – real name Dylan Kwabena Mills MBE – enrolled on a £1,495 course.
The 40-year-old says he completed the course and received a certificate for his hard work.
Dizzee enrolled onto the course at the Able Skills Construction Training in Dartford, Kent, during the Covid 19 pandemic.

The course gives trainees the option to do Monday to Friday over four weeks or six weekends with a nine day block.
The rapper now is the proud owner of a City and Guilds Certificate in Plastering.
But Dizzee claims other people on the course were “miffed” about him enrolling – with many confused as to why he was there, as reported by Need To Know.
“I did a plastering course for however long,” Dizzee said.
“I forgot how to do it, I got the certificate and everything.
“In the pandemic yeah, for some reason I felt like I needed to learn to do stuff.
“Big up able skills.
“It was wicked.”
He also told Fix Radio: “People were miffed, when I get in the queue people were like ‘What’s he doing here’.
“Towards the end there was a couple dudes
“I’ve been with them for weeks.
“They were like ‘Hey oh my God it’s you, hey man, he’s rich man, he’s famous man’.
“Right at the end is when they clocked it.”
But he admitted that he has since forgotten the skill.
