Black music has been the driving force in Britain’s music industry and culture. It’s time we treated it that way

We need to start seeing Black contribution to Britain as foundational rather than merely influential. And that should extend way beyond music, says Mobo founder Kanya King

Favourite thing the first #MOBOS I went to had #NDubz playing. #Dappy thought he'd do a bit of crowd surfing. The #Glasgow crowd parted like #Moses and the #RedSea and Dappy landed flat on the ground. Shouldn't laugh but hell it was good at the time 🤣

Are the #MoboAwards not on telly any more? Loved it when they came to Glasgow. Thank you #KanyaKing, cracking shows. You'd have all these tough-sounding rappers winning awards and the first thing they do is thank #God and their #Mums Aw bless 🙏🎵
