Established in 1996, the MOBO Awards recognise Black music and culture while encouraging the evolution of a wide range of genres, from Afrobeats and hip hop to R&B, soul, grime, drill, EDM, jazz, and more.
Asake, Rema, Tyla, and King Promise were shortlisted in the Best African Music Act category, alongside Ayra Starr (Nigeria), Bnxn & Ruger (Nigeria), Odumodublvck (Nigeria), Shallipopi (Nigeria), Tems (Nigeria), and Uncle Waffles (South Africa). Last year, Asake won this category.
Asake, Ayra Starr, Tems, and Tyla are also up for Best International Act, competing against US stars Beyoncé, GloRilla, Kendrick Lamar, Latto, Megan Thee Stallion, and Nicki Minaj.
Elsewhere, Nigerian gospel singer Limoblaze will be looking to take home the Best Gospel Act trophy.
Meanwhile, this year’s top nominees are Jorja Smith, Sampha, Cleo Sol, Ghetts, and Central Cee, each securing three nominations.
MOBO founder Kanya King CBE said: “Each and every time we unveil the MOBO Awards nominations, I am taken aback by the sheer amount of incredible talent we have in the UK. It inspires us all to continue pushing the industry to be more inclusive of a greater variety of Black music and culture. The music coming out of the UK this past year has been some of the best we have had in years. These distinct, uncompromising voices – across different genres from R&B and soul to grime, hip hop to jazz and alternative – are not just soundtracks for our days. They provide healing and reflection, and also escapism in times of need.
“For several years now we have also seen the growth of our MOBO UnSung talent programme, as it continues to be a beacon for spotlighting and empowering emerging artists. Some of the artists tipped by UnSung have gone on to achieve great things and we’re so proud to be following their journey, and celebrating their success. A huge congratulations to all our nominees across music, film and television, and entertainment. We look forward to welcoming you in Newcastle.”
