Femi Kuti, Beyonce Nominated For MOBO Awards BUT Not Invited
Femi Kuti
The son of the Afrobeat legend, Femi Anikulapo Kuti will not attend the next MOBO awards holding at the Scottish Exhibition and Conference Centre (SECC) in Glasgow, Scotland. This is the first time the awards will have taken place outside London, since its launch in 1995. According to her sister, Femi was not officially invited and informed about his nomination as the Best African act in this year edition of the Award holding in Scotland later this month, Yeni Kuti informed. On the other side, Beyonce is also said to abscond from the awards. Our source revealed the real reason many stars are unable to attend the MOBOs was the failure of the organizers to lock in the date until the 11th hour.
“Beyonce and other stars of her stature are not at the MOBOs because their diaries are locked in up to two years in advance” he said. “It is only in the past few weeks that the MOBO awards have started to come together and that her failure to appear at the MOBO awards has nothing to do with the event being relocated to Scotland. In fact, I don’t think she was even invited.” Femi was nominated alongside Eldee the Don, Nneka and other artiste like Lira, Salif Keita, K’Naan, Amadou and Mariam, Mujava, Oumou Sangare and Baba Maa while Beyonce is nominated in three categories namely, Best Album, Best Music Video and Best International artist.
Information reaching me indicated that both Eldee and Nneka are already in Glasgow for the most coveted award for black origin
