But who is Shaboozey? Born Collins Obinna Chibueze in Woodbridge, Virginia, this Nigerian-American artist has quickly made a name for himself in the country and hip-hop music worlds. His big break came in 2018 with the release of "Start a Riot," a track that was featured on the soundtrack for the movie Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse . Since then, Shaboozey’s career has skyrocketed, earning him a reputation for his innovative approach to music, blending traditional country with elements of rap, electronic, and West African rhythms.
Shaboozey's hit single "A Bar Song (Tipsy)" became a chart-topping success in 2024, peaking at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 for 15 consecutive weeks. The song’s success helped land him several Grammy nominations, including Best New Artist, Song of the Year, and Best Country Solo Performance. Additionally, he collaborated with Beyoncé on two tracks from her acclaimed album Cowboy Carter , further solidifying his place in the music industry.
Not just a musician, Shaboozey is a storyteller at heart, a passion that he attributes to his Nigerian heritage and his love for Western films. He’s mentioned in interviews that he draws inspiration from cowboy tales and outlaws, bridging the gap between country and hip-hop, two genres that he believes share a similar narrative structure. This blending of influences is evident in his music, which resonates with a broad audience and continues to break down genre barriers.
For those watching the Lions and Bears game on CBS, the halftime performance is sure to be a highlight of the day. Fans can stream the performance on Paramount+ if they prefer to watch online. With Shaboozey taking center stage, Thanksgiving football has never sounded so good. As we enjoy the holiday festivities, this exciting musical performance reminds us of the diverse talents shaping the future of country music and beyond.
