They’re doing everything in their power to try and distract us from the fact that they’ve run the country into the ground and don’t have the backbone to actually take measures to improve it. They don’t want us to have the means to speak about it either

Today marks 9 years since the Grenfell Tower fire. But 9 years on, there is still no justice. 9 years on & people still live in unsafe buildings. We must not forget those killed because of dishonesty and corporate greed.

You can't amass that level of wealth without being *evil*. People become assholes at £200k a year.

Nothing makes West African men more passionate than another man dealing with the consequences of his rape charges.

what’s crazy is I’m starting to remember seeing her on the block…

South Africa are cheeks looool

love how we say "slept like a baby" when babies are, objectively speaking, the worst demographic of sleepers

Don't host a World Cup if you don't want people to come to your country.

There's a lack of continutiy and connection, at times. You see it in British Rap / MC culture specifically - every new gen tend to behave as if they are building from ground zero.

Its been so fascinating to see South Africa obliterate the slightest bit of cultural cachet it built up over the last few years. All unprovoked and with no tangible benefit. Africans are planning hate watch parties in your honour on TikTok.

Kanya Kings legacy and the mobos will live forever. I remember hearing a story how she mortgaged her home to be able to put on the 1st show. She's opened the doors for so many artists and initiatives within black British music but also bridged the gap with Americans artists too

It is with immeasurable sorrow that the MOBO Organisation announces the passing of its Founder and CEO, Kanya King CBE. Kanya passed away peacefully on 3 June 2026 after a courageous and characteristically determined battle with colon cancer. She was surrounded by her family, close friends and love. Thirty years ago, Kanya King remortgaged her home, alone, without institutional backing or industry support, to build a stage that would transform British music forever. She was a single mother from a Kilburn council estate who was told that Black music was too niche, that there was no market and that the industry was not interested. Instead of arguing, she built. Six weeks later, the first MOBO Awards was broadcast to the nation, and nothing was ever the same again. What Kanya created was never simply an awards ceremony. It was an act of cultural justice. MOBO did not just celebrate Black music; it legitimised it, amplified it and transformed the cultural landscape of the UK. From Stormzy, Little Simz and RAYE to Craig David, Ms. Dynamite, Amy Winehouse, Central Cee and countless others, generations of artists have benefited from Kanya King's vision. She built a platform that reached hundreds of millions of people around the world. She was awarded a CBE and received an Ivors Academy Honour in 2025. She never stopped. She never asked for permission. She never accepted that the word “no” was final. When she stood on the MOBO stage in Newcastle in February 2025, just months after her diagnosis, she told the audience: “I never allowed someone to define my limits. Not in life. Not in business. And I’m certainly not going to have that happen now.” That was Kanya King. Right to the very end. The 2026 MOBO Awards, held during the Organisation’s landmark 30th anniversary year, will be dedicated entirely to her memory. The world was a profoundly better place with Kanya King in it. The MOBO family is heartbroken, but endlessly grateful, proud and inspired by everything she gave to music, culture and future generations. Rest in power, Kanya. You built this. All of it.
