Afrobeats sensation Ayra Starr has achieved a historic milestone at the 2025 MOBO Awards in Newcastle, United Kingdom, taking home two of the night’s most prestigious honors: Best International Act and Best African Music Act.
Her victory in the Best International Act category is groundbreaking, making her the first African female artist ever to win the award. She also shattered another record by becoming the first female winner of the Best African Music Act category in 16 years.
Known for her genre-blending sound that fuses Afrobeats, R&B, and pop, the ‘Sabi Girl’ continues to solidify her place as a global force in music.
The 2025 MOBO Awards also celebrated other standout artists, with Central Cee winning Best Male Act, Darkoo taking Best Female Act, and Odeal securing Best Newcomer. The event further honored legends like Denise Lewis with the MOBO Paving the Way Award and Vybz Kartel with the MOBO Impact Award.
Ayra Starr’s record-breaking wins mark a new era for African female artists on the global stage, proving that she is not just a rising star—she is already a trailblazer.
