R&B queen Beyonce Knowles has topped nominations for this year’s Music of Black Origin (Mobo) Awards.
The glam singer has been short listed in four categories, including the award for best international female artist, where she faces strong competition from Mary J Blige and Nelly Furtado.
The 24-year-old US star is also up for best song and best video for her yet to be released track, Déjà vu.
She has also been named in the best R&B act category.
But Beyonce’s strong showing has been undermined by claims that Mobo organisers have rigged the rules of the awards to allow her onto their short list.
