Nigerian talented singer and songwriter Simi, in a recent statement, has questioned organisers of the UK prestigious awards for Black music and culture The MOBO Awards, over the list recently released.

Simi, in a post via her Twitter handle, queried the organisers of the 2021 MOBO Awards over the ‘Best African Music Act’ nominee list as she asked why her husband, Adekunle Gold, didn’t make the list with the likes of Davido, Ckay, Tems, Rema, Wizkid, Ayra Starr.
