Congrats to UK/Ghanian artist, FUSE ODG, who won a the MOBO 2014 Award for Best African Act! Details about what people are saying about the win plus photos of Tinie Tempah, Lil Simz, Sam Smith and more, after the click.
The 2014 MOBO (Music of Black Origin) Awards went down last night and was hosted by Mel B. For the category of African music, huge congrats to Fuse ODG who took the award for Best African Act. It was a particularly big deal this year because he won over folks like Davido – who has basically won everything this year – Wiz Kid, Tiwa Savage, Mafikozolo and more.
Fuse wasn’t there to accept his award but his manager took it home for him, explaining that he was held up (to which DJ Abrantee joked “He’s coming from Ghana” lol). Catch the video of the presenters (DJ Abrantee and rapper, Ghetts) announcing Fuse’s win plus photos from the red carpet, below:
