The MOBO Awards, which celebrate Music of Black Origin is currently underway with its first ceremony since 2017, championing a banner year for British drill, hip-hop, soul and more.
Hosted by Maya Jama & Chunkz, West London rapper Nines, who topped the charts with his album Crabs in a Bucket in September, earns the most nominations with five, for album of the year, best male act, best hip-hop act, video of the year (for Clout) and – in a category that acknowledges the awards’ fallow years – best album (2017-2019) for Crop Circle, released in 2018 and looks to swapping more awards.
Also securing nominations are Ghanaian dancehall artists Shatta Wale and Stonebwoy who compete against each other in the Best African Act category.
