EXCLUSIVE: DYNAMITE'S TAUNTS AFTER SHE STOLE MY MAN: He ain't ur

POP sensation Ms Dynamite has bombarded her lover's ex-girlfriend with phone and text messages ordering her to keep away from her man.

The pregnant singer made the calls at all hours of the day and night in her jealous, 10-month feud.

And the rivalry over unemployed Dwayne Seaforth came to head on Valentine's Day two weeks ago when Ms Dynamite sent a final text message warning: "He ain't ur darlin no more sweet heart...Da sooner u get over it da happier ur life will be!".

Shocked fashion student Sanshica Carew - who has a two-year-old daughter with Dwayne - claims the millionaire singer's behaviour was so vicious she considered getting a court injunction against her.

Peace campaigner Ms Dynamite, 21 - real name Niomi McLean Daley - astounded Thursday night's Brit Awards audience by referring to 22- year-old Dwayne as her "husband", and thanking him for helping her career.

But Dwayne - who is nicknamed "Dazzler" - was secretly still bedding Sanshica, 22, as recently as December - four months after Ms Dynamite became pregnant with his child.

Sanshica said last night: "I couldn't believe it when I heard Niomi refer to him as her husband at the Brits.

"It left me angry and confused. If it is true that they are married, I wish them all the best.

"But it would have been nice if they had let me know first. Whatever has happened between us, Dwayne is still the father of my child.

"I want to keep our relationship as amicable as possible because he still needs to play a part in our daughter's life. Little Shannah is the reason why I live - and nothing will ever jeopardise that."

Dwayne had moved out of the South London flat he and Sanshica shared in May 2001, eight months after Shannah was born. But although he started dating Ms Dynamite within three weeks the couple - who had been together nearly three years - continued to have sex.

Sanshica told a friend: "Two weeks later I read in the paper that Ms Dynamite was having his child. I was just speechless. He didn't even have the guts to tell me to my face."

She also told how she had been left distraught by her war of words with Ms Dynamite - and was forced to change her phone number three times to avoid the stream of calls and messages.

She explained: "The calls left me a nervous wreck. I truly believes if he hadn't started to see Niomi we could have had a life together.

"Niomi has taken over his life. She is besotted with him and from day one she wanted nothing else but to win him over - I even think she planned to have his child all along."

Sanshica added to her friend: "Everyone thinks Ms Dynamite is a confident woman who has the world at her feet.

"She's supposed to be the voice of young black women encouraging them to be liberated and strong. But she is putting one down. She seems to have a real jealous streak - it is frightening.

"She thought I was going to steal her man back. But Dwayne played us off against each other. He wanted to have his cake and eat it."

Sanshica first found out about Dwayne's relationship when children saw him talking with the up-and-coming star in his car shortly before she recorded her debut album A Little Deeper, which scooped the prestigious Mercury Music Award.

A few weeks later, while Sanshica and Dwayne were in bed in the early hours of the morning, the star phoned Dwayne from Cyprus. The friend said: "When Ms Dynamite heard a woman answer Dwayne's mobile she flew into a fury. She kept repeating 'Can I speak to Dwayne, can I speak to Dwayne' she wouldn't say anything else. She knew who exactly who was on the end of the line and was angry that Sanshica was with him at 6am.

"When Dwayne rushed into the bathroom to try to explain the situation to Niomi in private the truth hit Sanshica like a thunderbolt. "She could hear him saying 'Niomi, Niomi...' trying to calm her down. He certainly wasn't thinking of Sanshica's feelings. She threw him out of the house. She tried so hard to cut him out of her life, but at the end of the day she still loved him. He would win her over with his charm.

"As a woman you are stupid - you believe what you want to believe - and she believed his denials."

Ms Dynamite called again as Dwayne was giving Sanshica a lift to college. The friend said: "Sanshica told me his tone changed when he answered the call. He lowered his voice. He was charming and sweet - just how he had once been with her.

"That's when she realised for the first time that it was serious. She put two and two together and finally came up with four." On another occasion the extent of his cheating became clear when he spent a night with Sanshica - then left her to join Ms Dynamite.

The friend said: "Sanshica called him up to say she felt used and he just hung up and wouldn't answer the phone for several days. He's changed so much. I don't know how you can be so sincere and so loving and then be so cold and so bitter."

Things became even worse last April when Sanshica received a mobile phone call. The friend said: "A female voice, which she recognised as Ms Dynamite, said 'Hello Sanshica' and started hurling abuse and swearing.
