Reggae artist Jah Cure's MOBO nomination has been withdrawn from the competition after organisers discovered he was convicted of rape in the past. 

The 33-year-old was up for Best Reggae Act, but has now been disqualified after MOBO bosses uncovered that he served a prison sentence back in 1999 for a gunpoint sexual assault. 

Other remaining acts in the well-respected category are Damian Marley & Nas, Mavado, Alborosie and Khago.

The MOBOs will take place in Glasgow on October 5 and you can watch Jah Cure's, real name Siccature Alcock, video for 'Unconditional Love' here:
