MOBO Awards 2020: The full list of winners 🎶 🔥
It's the first one since 2017!
The MOBO Awards returned for 2020! After being on hiatus since 2017, the awards returned for this year in a virtual ceremony streamed on YouTube, which took place on Wednesday 9th December hosted by Maya Jama and Chunkz.
Show organisers said, 'In a show like no other taking place in a year like no other, the UK’s biggest celebration of Black music reclaimed its power with a 90-minute spectacle that recognised the hottest new talent from around the globe, with some special performances that encapsulated the strength and pride of Black voices that underpinned 2020.'
Kanya King, MOBO founder said, "I feel very proud about this year’s show which will go down in history because of its unique commentary and set of circumstances. We will archive it for future generations to watch and learn about the times we are currently in. I want to thank the BBC and YouTube for working together, all for the greater good.
"This wasn’t just an Awards show, this is an empowering show with a purpose that represents opportunity over inequality, that represents pride for an audience that often feels marginalised, that represents achievement against all odds.
"There will be new artists watching the show and because of it, and their lives and those of their families may be forever changed. Roll on our 25th anniversary next year – let’s get ready to MOBOLISE!"
