Beyonce nominated for three MOBOs
The ’Beautiful Nightmare’ singer is up for Best Video for ’Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)’, Best International Act and Best Album for ’I Am... Sasha Fierce’ at the annual British awards ceremony, which recognises music of black origin. She will compete against her husband Jay-Z in the Best International Act category as well as Akon, Ciara, Drake, Eminem, Kanye West, Lady Gaga, Mariah Carey and Keri Hilson. However, Beyonce did not receive the most nominations at yesterday’s launch which took place at London’s Mayfair Hotel. The 14th annual MOBO Awards will take place at the Scottish Exhibition + Conference Centre (SECC) Arena in Glasgow on September 30 - the first time the ceremony has been held outside of London. Kanya King - CEO and Founder of the MOBOs - said: "The fact that we are holding the awards in Glasgow this year is testament to the fact that MOBO music is the sound of Britain as a whole. The reception from Scotland has been great and we cannot wait to put on our show up there." Fans can vote for the winners at www.mobo.com.
