Collins Obinna Chibueze ⓘ (born May 9, 1995),[1] known professionally as Shaboozey, is an American singer. His music combines country, Americana and hip-hop. After releasing two albums, Lady Wrangler (2017) and Cowboys Live Forever, Outlaws Never Die (2022), he gained wider recognition through his appearances on the soundtrack to Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018) and Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter (2024).
His commercial breakthrough came with his third album, Where I've Been, Isn't Where I'm Going (2024), whose single "A Bar Song (Tipsy)", which spent nineteen weeks atop the Billboard Hot 100, tied with Lil Nas X's "Old Town Road" as the then-longest running Hot 100 number one song of all time. The follow-up single "Good News" topped the US Country Airplay chart and became a top 15 hit on the Hot 100. In 2025, he collaborated with Jelly Roll on "Amen", which won the Grammy Award for Best Country Duo/Group Performance.
Shaboozey has accumulated more than 1.3 million followers on Instagram and according to a few sources, he has developed a net worth of over 10 million USD due to his large success in country and hip hop music.[2] He has sold out and played in several giant shows including at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo (2026), Glastonbury (2025), CMA Fest (2026), Lovin' Life Music Fest, Extra Innings Festival (2026), Stagecoach, Tortuga Music Festival, Country To Country (UK)[3] and has also performed in giant arenas like Rod Laver Arena (Melbourne, AU), 9:30 Club (Washington, D.C.), The Fonda Theatre (Los Angeles), First Avenue (Minneapolis), Variety Playhouse (Atlanta).
Shaboozey also has a diverse interest in the music industry that goes beyond just singing. In an interview with New Wave Magazine, [4]Shaboozey spoke out about his goals and aspirations to open a recording studio in Virginia,[5] in hopes of helping to find talent in the Mid-Atlantic area. In the interview Shaboozey said "When I was young, I knew I would be a storyteller, and would jump into creating worlds without fear. V Picture Films pays homage to my younger self and is a token reminder to keep that childhood dream alive," he told the publication.[6]
He has also received three Billboard Music Awards, two People's Choice Country Awards and two IHeartRadio Music Awards.
Early life
[edit]Chibueze was born and raised in Woodbridge, Virginia,[1] in the Washington metropolitan area. His parents are Igbo Nigerians; his father was a farmer in Nigeria and attended college in Texas.[7] His mother is a retired nurse.[8] In his childhood, he was inspired by hip-hop music videos on 106 & Park, as well as his father's cowboy style of dress and love of country music.[9][1] For junior high, he spent two years at a boarding school in Nigeria. In 2013, he graduated from Gar-Field Senior High School in Woodbridge, Virginia,[10] where he played football as a freshman.[11] As a teenager, Shaboozey planned to be a novelist. However, by the time he graduated high school, in addition to earning money from shooting music videos and photography, he also earned "a few hundred bucks here and there" from music gigs and decided to take music more seriously.[12]
Career
[edit]
His stage name originated from the mispronunciation of his last name, Chibueze – an Igbo word meaning "God is king" – by his high school football coach.[13][11][14]
In 2014, Shaboozey released his first single, "Jeff Gordon", referring to NASCAR driver Jeff Gordon. It is described as "a sparse trap song with a stealthy piano beat" and begins with overlapping audio from a NASCAR race.[12]
Also in 2014, Shaboozey founded V Picture Films, a production company, with the goal of becoming a writer, director, and producer.[15][9]
In August 2016, Shaboozey signed a recording, co-publishing and ancillary rights agreement with Terence Sheldon dba Homeless Records (assigned to Kreshendo Entertainment, a division of Republic Records, in September 2017), giving up 50% of the rights to his compositions while the agreement was in effect. The publishing agreement was terminated in November 2019.[16]
In October 2018, Shaboozey released his debut studio album Lady Wrangler on Republic Records.[1]
In 2018, Shaboozey was asked by Duckwrth to sing the hook for the song "Start a Riot". It went so well that Shaboozey was also asked to sing the second verse. The song, released in December 2018, was included in the soundtrack to Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse and led to national recognition for Shaboozey.[17][18]
Shaboozey's second studio album, Cowboys Live Forever, Outlaws Never Die, was released in October 2022 via Empire Distribution.[1][19] On the album, Shaboozey attempts to highlight the common themes between contemporary hip-hop and 19th century outlaw music in the American frontier.[17]
In January 2024, after a member of Beyoncé's team heard Shaboozey's then-unreleased "A Bar Song (Tipsy)", Shaboozey was asked to sing on two songs with Beyoncé.[20] The tracks were included on her eighth studio album, Cowboy Carter, released in March 2024.[13] "A Bar Song (Tipsy)", which interpolates J-Kwon's 2004 single "Tipsy", was released in April 2024.[20] The song spent nineteen weeks atop the Billboard Hot 100, tying with Lil Nas X's "Old Town Road" as the longest-running Hot 100 number-one song ever at the time.
Shaboozey's third studio album, Where I've Been, Isn't Where I'm Going, was released in May 2024.[21] Though his earlier music had more of a trap influence, this album has more of a folk-pop sound with acoustic guitar.[13] As of May 2024, Jared Cotter was Shaboozey's co-talent manager.[22]
In November 2024, Shaboozey released "Good News". That month he also performed at the halftime show of the 2024 Chicago Bears–Detroit Lions Thanksgiving game.[23]
In December 2024, Shaboozey was a musical guest on Saturday Night Live, where he performed "A Bar Song (Tipsy)" and "Good News".[24] He also performed alongside Post Malone in the Beyoncé 2024 NFL Halftime Show at the Christmas Day Game between the Baltimore Ravens and the Houston Texans.[25]
Shaboozey developed a new jingle for Domino's in October 2025.[26] He announced his fourth album, a concept album titled The Outlaw Cherie Lee & Other Western Tales, in April 2026, with the project set for release on July 31, 2026.[27] Shaboozey will embark on his "Outlaws Never Die Tour" in late 2026, with support from BigXthaPlug, Noeline Hofmann, Noah Cyrus, and others. [28]
Social activism
[edit]Shaboozey has been a leader in activism and social issues, especially in the country music space. On February 1, 2026, during his Grammy acceptance speech, Shaboozey spoke out on the current immigration controversy, saying "immigrants built this country, literally".[29] He also talked about this heritage as a vocal point as he was visibly emotional during his speech saying that his mom "worked three to four jobs just to provide for me and my four siblings as an immigrant in this country". "For all children of immigrants, this is also for those who came to this country in search of better opportunities, to be part of a nation that promised freedom for all and equal opportunity to everyone willing to work for it."[30] "Thank you for bringing your culture, your music, your stories and your traditions. You give America color, I love y'all so much. Thank you."[30]
After he delivered that speech he did receive a large amount of criticism, and on February 4th, 2026, Shaboozey responded to the critics saying "To be clear, I know and believe that we — Black people, have also built this country. My words were not meant to erase, diminish, or overlook that truth, and I sincerely apologize for how they came across. That history, sacrifice, and resilience are undeniable, and I should have been more intentional in honoring that in my moment on stage."[30]
Shaboozey has also spoke out about his ethnicity and how proud he is to be Black in country music. In a People's interview in 2025, Shaboozey said "I loved that there was so much room for some diversity in the space and to stand out. I love standing out," he says. "I love that I'm different. I think it's my superpower. [I'm] not feeling like I'm not allowed in this space because of the way I look or the way I dress or the way I present myself. If anything, hopefully it opens doors for people."[2]
Musical style and influences
[edit]
Shaboozey's music combines hip-hop, country, rock, and Americana.[21][31][9]
Shaboozey has cited the Rolling Stones, Grateful Dead, Bob Dylan, and Led Zeppelin as influences, as well as Martin Scorsese films such as Taxi Driver.[9] Other influences include Fela Kuti, Clipse, Roger Waters, Backstreet Boys, Pharrell Williams, Missy Elliott, Lead Belly, and Johnny Cash.[1][9][17]
Shaboozey has told reporters that he was exposed to country music by his Nigerian father, who "embodies Americana while holding on to his [roots.]" [32]
Shaboozy was compelled by Western style; "When I moved to L.A. and started taking music seriously, I wore a lot of Western wear like denim, cowboy boots, and things like that. I remember going into the studio and I was like, Man, let's make a song that embodies what I'm wearing."[33]
