Shaboozey's latest single, "A Bar Song " reached the top of Billboard's Hot Country chart just two weeks after its April release. He and Beyoncé are the first Black performers to have back-to-back No. 1 songs on the country chart.
It’s a fitting question for Shaboozey, a Woodbridge, Va., native whose parents are Nigerian immigrants. He spent years experimenting with various sounds and production and mixing together cultures and aesthetics in his music. He was inspired by artists such as Chingy, Jennifer Lopez and Ja Rule, as well as Garth Brooks and Kenny Rogers, and the music of his Virginia roots is important to him.
His message is “togetherness,” he said. While he is aware it can be extremely challenging to bridge the divide in country music, where there’s a visible and much-discussed lack of diversity, he’s hopeful that there are some in Nashville who want to shake up. And now he’s part of the discourse — “A Bar Song ” made history when it hit No. 1 on Hot Country, taking the place of Beyoncé’s “Texas Hold ’Em.
But the mainstream breakout moment hit as two moments collided, one being a call from Beyoncé’s team about Shaboozey contributing to songs on her upcoming album. Abas Pauti, Shaboozey’s co-manager, said he thinks that Beyoncé saw Shaboozey’s authenticity.
