The nominations for this year's MOBO awards have been announced, with big names such as Jessie J and Disclosure all up for gongs at this year's Music Of Black Origin event.

The stars leading the nominations are controversial festival-ruiner Wiley and Radio 2 favourite Laura Mvula, who each pick up four nods at the event. Wiley has been nominated for Best UK hip hop / grime act, Best Album, Best Single and Best Male.

Wiley caused controversy when he wrote on Twitter that Glastonbury festival could 'fuck off' - despite being booked to perform at the event. He later stormed off the stage at Cockrock Festival and gloated about his £15k fee online.

Mvula picks up nominations for Best Album, Best Video, Best R&B/soul act and Best Female and has behaved herself perfectly at her festival appearances throughout 2013.
