Last night MOBO’s saw the hottest in new and accomplished R&B artists gather at The Royal Albert Hall for one night of celebrations. Rhianna kicked off the show with a fantastic performance of her beautiful “Unfaithful” and was later rewarded for her efforts with the MOBO’s best R&B artist award.

A host of stars graced the red carpet last night hoping to get an award. Guests included Corinne Bailey Rae, Lemar, veteran soul performer Sam Moore and Jamelia, though that‘s naming just a few!
Superstar lovers Beyoncé and Jay Z weren’t there at the event, though Beyoncé won three awards and Jay Z won one. Let’s just say people weren’t impressed with their absence!

People booed Beyoncé when she was announced as the winner of her three awards, but I’m sure she doesn’t mind, she has three more awards to squeeze into her already full trophy cabinet!
