Oh dear, looks like there may be another Tulisa apology on the horizon as the singer has been caught endorsing a gang notorious for drugs and violence.

The X Factor judge has been pictured, and filmed for her new music video, posing like one of the gang members and even making a C-symbol with her right hand, a sign used by notorious north-west London gang Crime Scene Boys, also known as the Church Road Soldiers.

The video, which was being shot  in the Church Street estate, Harlesden,  where the video where the gang, who  have been linked to gun violence and drug dealing, hang out, was for Tulisa’s new single, featuring rapper Nines.

Nines has also made the “C” symbol in his videos, which often refer to guns, violence and drugs too, but Tulisa insists that she made the sign to represent her home town of Cambden.

An eyewitness told the Sun newspaper: “She was strutting around throwing gang signs and hanging around outside the blocks of flats.

“She was swearing and trying to fit in with the other people who were around her from the estate.

“Making that C sign is what people do when they are a member of the Crime Scene Boys. It’s a real mistake.”

It is thought that the N-Dubz singer’s X Factor and ITV bosses, and her Syco and  record label Universal will think it was a mistake too, something that must be weighing on Tulisa’s mind now as she released a statement last night in which she said:

“I filmed a street video on Sunday night for a track on my album.

“The video was a collaboration with the rapper Nines. When we were filming on the street loads of other people turned up and joined in the shoot.

“When I was holding my hands in the C sign, this was as a tribute to Camden, my home town and where N-Dubz began.

“I am not aware that this sign has anything to with any street gang and I 100 per cent do not endorse any gang violence in any form.”

Oh dear Tulisa, what is it with you and incriminating video tapes?
