Omo, Afrobeats is not playing this year! The prestigious MOBO Awards (Music of Black Origin) just released their 2026 nomination list to celebrate their 30th anniversary, and if you look at the names, you’d think the show was being held in Lagos, not Manchester!
Our Nigerian stars have completely dominated the Best African Music Act category, and the competition is looking like a war zone!
Ayra Starr is the Queen of the List! ⭐️
The "Sabi Girl" herself, Ayra Starr, is currently the star of the show. She didn't just get one nomination; she bagged TWO!
She’s up for Best African Music Act.
She’s also nominated for Best International Act, where she’ll be rubbing shoulders with global giants like Cardi B, Gunna, and Kehlani.
If she wins this, she’s officially the biggest female export from Africa right now. No be small thing o!
The "Big Three" Face Off š¤
It’s going to be a battle of the titans. The Best African Music Act category is packed with our faves:
Wizkid
Davido
Tiwa Savage
Adekunle Gold
Rema
Shallipopi (The Pluto Presido is here too!)
Tyla (Our South African sister is the main threat!)
Naija Actors & Media Are Not Left Out! š¬
The MOBOs aren't just for singers this time.
Damson Idris and Cynthia Erivo are nominated for their acting performances.
Even the viral UK-based Nigerian lady, Bus Aunty, bagged a nomination for Best Media Personality!
The Vibe: The main show is happening on March 26, 2026, at the Co-op Live in Manchester. With all these Nigerians on the list, the airport that day go full!
Bloggers, let's talk! š§
Who is your money on for Best African Act? Is it Wizkid, Davido, or Rema?
Can Ayra Starr actually beat Cardi B for the International award?
Oya, drop your predictions below! Who are you voting for? šš³š¬
