50 Cent dominated at the MOBOs last night, picking up all three of the awards he was nominated for - best album for ' Get Rich Or Die Tryin', best single for 'In Da Club' and overall best hip hop act. He was very gracious after his victory - telling reporters "I've won a lot of awards this year from a lot of different people. I'd like to thank God for blessing me with the talent." And he seemed to be glad to be in London despite it taking him five hours to get through customs earlier in the day - a set back which forced the cancellation of an afternoon engagement and meant late arrivals at both the MOBOs and his Wembley gig that followed.
Elsewhere at the MOBOs Justin Timberlake was named best R&B act, while the prize for best UK act was shared between Punjabi MC and Big Brovaz, the latter also taking best newcomers. Best video went to Christina Aguilera featuring Redman for 'Dirrty', The Neptunes were named best producers and So Solid Crew's Lisa Maffia won the best garage category. Best reggae act went to Wayne Wonder, with BBC Radio 1's Tim Westwood taking the award for best UK radio DJ.
