Maya appeared on The One Show on Tuesday and spoke to hosts Alex Jones and Jermaine Jenas about the show.
She said: ‘It’s so important because for a long time they were the only award show in the UK that was celebrating and championing black culture.
‘Mobo’s have been doing that for the longest. I think it’s more important than ever for them to be back.

‘We’ve had such a horrible year and so many sad things going on, it’s nice to have something that celebrates the positives.’
Back, in November, it was revealed that Maya banked £1.3m via her company MIJ & Co in figures obtained by The Sun.
However, Maya has since revealed that she actually became a millionaire ‘two years ago’, when she was just 24, and used some of her hard-earned cash to buy her very first home in London this summer, with the beauty currently living with a pal.
On her success, Maya added to the publication that though being a millionaire is ‘nice’, it was never her goal as she’s never really been motivated by cash.
She said: ‘You do something you enjoy and then you get paid for it and you’re like: “Oh my gosh, this is so cool!”‘
