Wizkid bagged Best International Act and Best African Music Act.

The MOBO Awards made its live show return and cemented its status as the UK’s biggest Black music and culture celebration. Artists who are shaping the cultural zeitgeist and re-defining the future of the British music landscape were honoured in a star-studded ceremony streamed on YouTube live from Coventry, the UK’s City of Culture.

At Coventry Building Society Arena, the ceremony was hosted by multi-platinum-selling artist and actress Leigh-Anne Pinnock and comedian and broadcaster Munya Chawawa, with special guest host Eddie Kadi, who presents BBC Radio 1Xtra’s Official UK Afrobeats Chart Show. The show featured blockbuster performances from various talents: Ghetts, Pa Salieu, Stefflon Don and Ms Banks, Bree Runway, Potter Payper, Tems, NSG and ENNY. Legendary world heavyweight champion boxer Frank Bruno MBE was honoured with the MOBO Inspiration Award in recognition of his indelible impact on British sport, having battled racism and mental health stigma in and outside the ring during his storied rise to the top.

Nigerian superstar Wizkid bagged Best International Act and Best African Music Act – in association with Afrozons with Sheila O, hot on the heels of his massive three-night takeover of London’s O2 Arena last week.
