Little Simz, Knucks, Central Cee, Pink Pantheress And Jamal Edwards Are Among The Winners of the 2022 MOBO Awards

The winners of the MOBO Awards 2022 have been announced! Little Simz and Knucks shared the Album Of The Year prize for their respective albums ‘Sometimes I Might Be Introvert’ and ‘Alpha Pace,’ while Dreya Mac, FelixThe1st and Finch Fetti won the Song Of The Year prize for their song ‘Own Brand (Baddie)’.

PinkPantheress earned Best Female Act and Best Male Act went to Central Cee. The Best Producer award went to Inflo (SAULT, Little Simz, Michel Kiwanuka), and Nile Rodgers received the Lifetime Achievement Award. The Outstanding Contribution Award went to Craig David, while the Paving The Way Award went to the late Jamal Edwards MBE.

Chunkz and Yung Filly hosted the 25th-anniversary awards show at London’s OVO Arena Wembley. Numerous artists, including Nile Rodgers, Craig David, Kojey Radical, Tion Wayne, Fireboy DML, Cat Burns, FLO, Eliza Rose, Beenie Man and Emeli Sandé performed live and made special guest appearances.

Little Simz’s triumph for Album Of The Year caps up a year in which she also won the Mercury Music Prize and comes a year after her first MOBO win for Best Female Act. Earlier in 2022, despite the fact that ‘Sometimes I Might Be Introvert’ was the rapper’s fourth album, she controversially won the BRIT award for Best New Artist.

Additionally, Central Cee won two MOBOs for the second year in a row at this year’s awards. He was awarded Best Newcomer and Best Drill Act in 2021. In other categories, Bru-C was named Best Newcomer, Burna Boy was named Best International Act, and Central Cee won Video Of The Year for his work on ‘Doja.’
