That’s such an amazing achievement for Ayra Starr! Winning both Best African Act and Best International Act at the 2025 MOBO Awards is a huge recognition of her talent and global impact. She’s been steadily growing her presence in the music industry, so it’s no surprise she triumphed over such big names like Beyoncé, Nicki Minaj, and Kendrick Lamar. And for her to become the first female winner of the Best African Act award in 16 years is a groundbreaking moment!
It’s also impressive to see Central Cee break records with his third consecutive win as Best Male Act. The UK music scene seems to be buzzing with talent across genres.
