MOBO Award

The MOBO Awards are an annual British music award presentation honouring achievements in music of black origin. They were founded by Kanya King and Andy Ruffell and first presented in 1996, initially broadcast by Carlton Television from London's Connaught Rooms, before moving to Channel 4, the BBC, ITV, and Channel 5. The ceremony has been held in various locations, including London, Glasgow, Leeds, and Sheffield. Over the years, the MOBO Awards have witnessed performances from UK and international talent, including Janet Jackson, Kanye West, Amy Winehouse, and Sade. The awards have also recognized contributions to black music, with the first Lifetime Achievement Award given to B.B. King in 1998. The ceremony has taken a one-year hiatus, but is planning to return in 2020, with Kanya King announcing "positive changes" to the show.learn more on wikipedia
