At Tuesday’s awards ceremony in Newcastle, the 40-year-old actor and rapper won best album for 2024’s Being Poor Is Expensive, and also took home best hip hop act.
Bashy has said that he was “so scared” to record his first album in 15 years as he picked up an award for the record at the 2025 Mobos.
The 2025 ceremony also saw Central Cee become the joint most-decorated rapper in Mobo Awards history, after tying with Stormzy on seven awards.
His last record was Catch Me If You Can in 2009 – which saw him nominated at the Mobo awards for best UK act and best album.
Bashy also said that his advice for budding musicians is to keep trying, and artists “need to appreciate” these moments, and not focus on “what’s up next?”.
