This year’s ceremony was held at Coventry’s CBS Arena on Sunday, December 5th, 2021, It 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 Afrobeat’s Chart Show.
The juice of the news is that our very own Popstar, Big Wiz conquered the 2021 MOBO Awards by the emerging winner in Best International Act and Best African Act.
