Who presented Best Hip Hop/Grime/Rap Act at the 2026 Brit Awards?

Sasha Keable presented Best Hip Hop/Grime/Rap Act at the 2026 Brit Awards.

The category was won by Dave, who beat fellow nominees Central Cee, Jim Legxacy, Little Simz and Loyle Carner. Dave’s victory was his second in this category, following his earlier win in 2022. The award recognises leading British performers working across hip hop, grime and rap, three closely connected but distinct strands of the UK music scene.

Keable herself was also part of the category’s nominee list in 2026, appearing among the contenders for Best R&B Act. That makes her appearance easy to confuse with the award’s winner: she handed over the trophy, but Dave took it home. The ceremony took place on 28 February 2026 at Manchester’s Co-op Live, the first BRIT Awards ceremony held outside London.
