Mobo awards 2024: Central Cee tops winners thanks to megahit Sprinter

London MC wins best male and song of the year, while Potter Payper beats stiff competition to win album of the year

Central Cee has topped the winners at the 2024 Mobo awards, winning best male for the second year in a row, and best song for Sprinter, his collaborative track with Dave, that dominated the summer months with a 10-week run at No 1. Raye, who recently scored a record seven Brit nominations in a single year, was named best female act after the success of her debut album My 21st Century Blues, which was independently released after a long spell in limbo at a major label. It gives the east Londoner (with Irish-Algerian heritage) a longed-for victory lap after he had to celebrate the album’s initial No 2 chart position during a two-month spell in prison, his 15th time inside.
