MOBOs, Jay1

The MOBO awards, which have celebrated music of black origin since 1996, took place in Coventry on 5 December.
The ceremony, that 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 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.

Letitia George caught up with Cov rapper Jay1.
