MOBO Awards Announce Nominations For 2022

The MOBO Awards in association with Lucozade has announced its 2022 nominees ahead of the triumphant 25th-anniversary celebration on 30 November 2022. The UK’s biggest and most prestigious celebration of black music is coming to you live from the OVO Arena Wembley.

 

Acclaimed London rapper and producer Knucks leads this year’s list with 5 nominations: Album of The Year for “Alpha Place”, Best Male Act, Best Hip Hop Act (in association with Mixtape Madness), and two Video of The Year (in association with McCrispy) nods – for his single ‘Alpha House/Hide & Seek’ and as a featured artist on Kojey Radical’s ‘Payback’. Hailed by British GQ as “Britain’s most progressive rapper”, Knucks’ decade-long rise to UK rap elite status has been a journey marked with consistency and his contemporary flair of blending rap and jazz.

 

Almost 12 months after taking home MOBO’s Best Female Act, Little Simz rounds up her most decorated year by scooping 4 MOBO nominations: Album of The Year for her critically-acclaimed “Sometimes I Might Be An Introvert”, Best Female Act, Best Hip Hop Act (in association with Mixtape Madness) and Video of the Year (in association with McCrispy) for ‘Point And Kill’ featuring Obongjayar.

 

Arguably the most buzzed-about Drill MC of the year, Central Cee, picks up four MOBO nominations: Best Male Act, Best Drill Act (supported by Trench), Song of The Year (in association with Lucozade) and Video of The Year (in association with McCrispy) for ‘Doja’. The 24-year-old rising star – tipped by MOBO last year with his first award nominations – won MOBO Best Newcomer and the inaugural MOBO Best Drill Act in 2021. Elsewhere in Drill, Ivorian Doll becomes the first female artist to be nominated for Best Drill Act.

Rihanna Reveals Third Pregnancy At The Met Gala

After revealing her second pregnancy dramatically during her 2023 halftime Super Bowl performance, Rihanna has followed up by debuting her third on the Met Gala red carpet.

The last attendee to arrive at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art on Monday evening, the star wore a pinstripe Marc Jacobs ensemble, accentuating her baby bump, with a polkadot cravat and oversized hat.

Rihanna’s pregnancy announcement came on a historic evening, co-chaired by her partner A$AP Rocky, that celebrated exuberant Black style and dandyism. The evening’s theme was inspired by the Met’s accompanying Costume Institute exhibition, “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style”.

A$AP Rocky arrived hours earlier wearing a self-designed outfit that he told Vogue was “a bit of Harlem Nights”, referencing Eddie Murphy’s classic 1989 crime comedy movie. He accessorized with an umbrella and red-soled Christian Louboutin shoes. The singer and rapper have two sons together.

Earlier in the day, the Barbadian singer was photographed walking around New York in the rain in a grey-blue cropped top and skirt set with a fur stole and a 1920s-style cloche hat with a visible bump, igniting conversation online.

On the Met Gala red carpet, A$AP Rocky confirmed the news to Reuters, saying, “It feels amazing” to reveal Rihanna’s pregnancy at the event.

Rihanna wasn’t the only celebrity with a pregnancy reveal on the red carpet, with model Karlie Kloss appearing in a black buttoned jacket with high lapels — her first appearance since announcing her third child in March.

The Met Gala red carpet has become a popular place for pregnancy reveals, with model Adwoa Aboah doing so last year in a ruffled red two-piece set, and tennis star Serena Williams and Kloss (again) the year prior.

Unpacking the TGMA Controversy: Why “Fear No Evil” Deserves Recognition

The Telecel Ghana Music Awards (TGMA) has sparked debate with its latest nominations, particularly in the “Best Urban/Contemporary Gospel Song Of The Year” category which is novel. Many are questioning the omission of Joseph Matthew’s hit song “Fear No Evil,” which has ganered impressive numbers and chalked impressive feet in the year of review.

 

The category according to TGMA is defined, “Best Urban/Contemporary Gospel Song Of The Year” category is designed to recognize songs that blend gospel with elements of R&B, hip-hop, and other pop genres, generating significant public excitement and patronage”. By this definition, “Fear No Evil” seems like a no-brainer for nomination.

 

“Joseph Matthew’s “Fear No Evil” has not only resonated with audiences but has also achieved impressive numbers, outperforming some nominated songs like, “Call” and “Onwanwani”. The song’s presence on major TV stations in Ghana and Nigeria, as well as its extensive radio airplay across regions, underscores its impact and popularity.

 

 

This omission adds to the longstanding concerns about the TGMA’s nomination process, with many accusing the organization of favoritism and neglecting deserving artists. The introduction of new categories like “Best Urban/Contemporary Gospel Song Of The Year” presents an opportunity for the TGMA to showcase a broader range of talent, but it seems like a missed opportunity in this case.

 

In the meantime, fans can check out Joseph Matthew’s new song, “Love In You” from below.
