In an interview with , Collins Obinna Chibueze, AKA “Shaboozey,” revealed that his stage name arose from a misspelling of his actual name.
Turns out, Shaboozey’s football coach misspelled his last name, which means “God is king” in Igbo.
The artist opened up about people getting his name wrong, saying that it wasn’t always easy growing up in a rural area of Virginia. “It could be a little confusing at times—hearing your name [mispronounced] during attendance was always a thing; you felt like you had to make it easier for everyone else to understand.”
He recently learned how to play the guitar.
According to the official website, Shaboozey learned how to play the guitar ahead of the release of his third studio album, Where I’ve Been, Isn’t Where I’m Going.
“In the past I was getting a lot of beats and building up songs from there, but for this one we wrote all the music from scratch and tailored everything to the stories I wanted to tell,” he said in a quote. “I wanted to make something without any limitations, and [to] elevate my songwriting so that you feel every line in your gut.”
He collaborated with Beyoncé on multiple Cowboy Carter tracks.
Before the runaway success of “A Bar Song (Tipsy),” Shaboozey got his first few charting songs thanks to his features on Beyoncé’s album. The country and R&B singer was on the tracks “Spaghettii” and “Sweet / Honey / Buckiin,’” which reached 31 and 61 on the Billboard Hot 100, respectively.

As for Queen Bey’s thoughts on the singer, a rep from Parkwood Entertainment told : “It just feels great to see a true talent like Shaboozey win. He has a clear sense of the artist he always was, and now the world knows it. To see him dominate the country space is a win for all those Black artists who have been authentically honing their craft for a long time now.”
He may have met EmRata at a Hamptons party.
