The Nigerian Afrobeats star made London his own last year when he took over the London O2 for a star-studded three-day leg of his Made In Lagos tour, and if he brings just one-tenth of that energy, then Yam […]
A year on from the special, live-streamed ceremony held in the midst of lockdown, last night saw the MOBO Awards return with its first live in-person ceremony at the Coventry Building Society Arena.
