Now Dizzee, real name Dylan Mills, could find himself at the centre of another police probe if the photographer complains to cops.
The Met Police said: "We are aware of a video that has been shared online showing an incident outside Wimbledon Magistrates' Court on the afternoon of Monday, 7 March.
"In the video, a camera is knocked from the hands of a photojournalist and is then thrown across the road.
"Should the photojournalist wish to contact us if they have not done so already, we will be able to provide the appropriate assistance."
Shocking footage showed Mills grabbing the Press Association photographer's camera as he left court.
He then chucked it across the road causing it to smash into pieces.

The drama came just moments after he was found guilty of assaulting his former partner of nine years Cassandra.
On the night of the attack, Mills, 37, "barged" into Cassandra's house before banging his head on a fridge three times while holding his son.
He was accused of "pressing his forehead" against the mother of his two children during the row, and shoving her to the ground.
Mills had previously accused Cassandra of "assaulting" him and leaving a scratch on his arm when he was arrested on June 8, the court heard.
But when police first found him, he said "I am the aggressor", which he claimed was a light-hearted remark to diffuse the situation.
The rapper had been “confrontational” when he picked his daughter up on the day of the attack, the court heard.
Cassandra then called him when he was late dropping her back home and Mills began "swearing" at her, it was said.
When he arrived, she told Mills he couldn't come in but he allegedly "barged her out the way to make his way into the house with his son in his arms”.
The rapper then started "screaming and shouting" in front of Cassandra's mother, Dawn Kirk, while in the kitchen as they tried to grab the youngster from him, the court heard.
Mills claimed he didn't touch the mother of his children.
He told the court: "I was not the aggressor, I did not do anything to her physically.
'I WAS ANGRY'
"I ended up with two small marks because she was waving her phone around.
"Those marks came from her. She was erratic. She assaulted me by pushing me and scratching my left arm. I did not assault her that day."
Mills claimed he was "angry" as Cassandra had ripped up their daughter's Crocs the morning he picked her up.
He admitted texting her saying "shut up, don't give me no lip" and "shut your f**king mouth" as he got stuck in traffic on the way to her home.
The rapper added: "She ripped the Crocs in front of me. Why would you rip your child's shoes up and then tell me to go to the shop.
"I was angry, I was angry at times yes. I was annoyed at her, she was shouting in my face and she was angry.
"At the police station I waited so long, the scratches I had when I arrived had become bruises."
'SCREAMING'
Cassandra wept previously as she told the court that Mills grew “very angry” and “was out of control”.
She said he “nearly dropped” their son, adding: “He was screaming for me and I said ‘Please just give me him’.”
The mum also said he pushed her around the room with his forehead but insisted it was not a "headbutt".
She said he “barged” her and she “fell to the floor” suffering bruising and grazing her left arm.
Cassandra added: “He was charging around, in and out of the house. He was out of control."
She also described him as a "ticking time bomb".
Mills was awarded an MBE in The Queen’s Birthday Honours last year for services to music.
He became one of Britain's most successful rap artists after the release of his first solo album, Boy in da Corner, when he was just 18.
The Mercury Prize winner released six more hit albums and had a string of number one singles - including Bonkers and Dance Wiv Me.
He won Best British Solo Artist at the Brits and in 2012 he performed during the opening ceremony at the London Olympics.
Dizzee delivered food parcels to under-privileged children in London’s East End where he grew up during lockdown last year.
