Established in 1996, MOBO which is based in the United Kingdom went on a hiatus in 2017 and has just been restarted this year.
Shatta Wale and Stonebwoy are not the first Ghanaian artistes to have been nominated in the awards.
Their colleague Dancehall act, Samini, was nominated in the Best African Act category in 2006 and actually went on to win.
The UK-based Ghanaian artiste Fuse ODG also won the same award in 2013 and made it three in a row in 2015. The 2015 nominations also had Shatta Wale in the mix.
