N-Dubz are being tipped to win

N-Dubz and rapper Chipmunk have racked up the most nominations for this year’s Mobo Awards.

The acts are each up for four gongs at the annual event, which celebrates music of black origin.

Dizzee Rascal, 23, and Tinchy Stryder, 22, follow closely behind with three nods a piece.

Alexandra Burke, 21, and Beyonce Knowles, 27, are among the female contenders.

‘It is a reflection of the industry that the guys are dominating the UK nominations but we have identified a lot of young female talent coming through,’ Mobo chief executive Kanya King tells the BBC.

Other nominees include JLS, Eminem, and Kanye West, 32.

The Mobo Awards will take place in Glasgow on 30 September.
