And the winner is… Well we won’t know that for another month, but we do know who has been nominated!

I have watched so many of the artists I look up to being nominated, winning awards and performing – it’s amazing to be in the company of such amazing talent. Thank you to the MOBO Awards and my fans for making this possible.’
Tinie Tempah and Adele are snapping closely at her heels with four nods each, with them both fighting for Best Song and Best Album.
Don’t Go Rapper, Wretch 32 also got four nominations including Best Song for the hypnotic, Traktor. Wretch said: ‘I grew up watching the MOBO Awards, so to be nominated for even just one award feels overwhelming. I was going to attend the Awards anyway but now I’ll be at a table ahhh yeah!’
