Mobo Awards honour Dave, Little Simz, Wizkid and Ghetts

Dave took home one of the top prizes at this year's Mobo Awards, winning best album for his second record, We're All Alone In This Together.

Fellow rapper Little Simz won best female in recognition of her triumphant album Sometimes I Might Be Introvert.

And grime legend Ghetts took home his first ever Mobo, for best male, 16 years after releasing his groundbreaking debut, 2000 & Life.

"I weren't even expecting this," he said. "It's been such a journey."

Sunday's ceremony, which was held in Coventry Arena, marked the first in-person Mobo awards since 2017. The show took a two-year break in 2018, while last year's awards were distributed virtually due to the pandemic.

Bree Runway successfully jolted the event back to life, revving up the red carpet on a motorbike and swerving onto the stage for a pneumatic performance of her single, Hot Hot.

There were also stand-out performances from rapper Pa Salieu, who ran through the hits Frontline, Glidin' and My Family to a receptive hometown crowd; and rap newcomer Enny, who delivered a powerful version of her empowerment anthem, Peng Black Girls.
