Deepest sorrow to hear the passing of trailblazer, Legend, Queen Kanya King CBE 🕊️

'Thirty years ago, Kanya King remortgaged her home, alone, without institutional backing, without industry support, to build a stage that would transform British music forever.

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 demonstrated its commercial and creative power to a world that had too often chosen not to see it.' MOBO Awards

Deep love and condolences to the family, loved ones and fans.

🕊️ 🩷
