On Friday afternoon in Kent, England, something happened involving Dizzee Rascal and a baseball bat. Something bad, apparently, as Dizzee (birth name: Dylan Mills) was "detained on suspicion of possessing an offensive weapon," according to Sky News (via NME.com). So maybe he beat somebody up with a baseball bat? Or threatened to beat somebody up with a baseball bat?

No other info about the incident has surfaced as yet, other than that Dizzee is out on bail and has to report to police in late December. But it's probably a safe bet that somebody called somebody a pussyole during the proceedings.

In other Dizzee Rascal news, he appears on the latest Newham Generals' single "Violence", which will appear on their forthcoming album Generally Speking, out in February 2009 on Dizzee's own Dirtee Stank label. And he's got a spring UK tour lined up, opening for the Prodigy.
