King of Dancehall Vybz Kartel has been named Best Caribbean Music Act at the 2026 MOBO Awards. The ceremony took place on Thursday at the Co-op Live arena in Manchester, England. The God Is The Greatest hitmaker topped a competitive shortlist that featured fellow Jamaicans Masicka, Shenseea, Lila Iké and Ayetian, along with Trinidad and Tobago soca artiste Yung Bredda. Kartel was also in contention for Best International Act, but the award went to Nigerian singer Ayra Starr. He previously received the MOBO Impact Award in 2025.
