Sep 23rd 2014, 13:23

FKA Twigs has proved she is more than just the rumoured girlfriend of Robert Pattinson as the singer has scooped nominations for some of the top accolades for this year's MOBO Awards while Sam Smith and Krept & Konan are leading the way with a whopping four nods each.

The 2014 awards ceremony, which will return to London in October after a residency in Glasgow, Scotland, will see crooner Sam Smith competing with Krept & Konan for the Best Male award and Best Album for their respective albums, In The Lonely Hour and Young Kingz. The two acts are also up for Best Song with Sam nominated for his number one ballad 'Stay With Me' and the London duo receiving nods for Don't Waste My Time.

FKA Twigs, who wasn't present at the nominations launch today which was attended by the likes of Idris Elba and Sarah-Jane Crawford, is still making her way into the mainstream spotlight but she's already taking the music industry by storm with the sultry songstress nominated for Best Female Act, Best Newcomer and Best Video For Two Weeks.
