Collins Obinna Chibueze (born May 9, 1995), known professionally as Shaboozey, is an American rapper, singer, songwriter, and record producer.[1][2] His music combines hip-hop, country, rock, and Americana. 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.[3][4][5]
Following the releases of his first two albums, Lady Wrangler (2018) and Cowboys Live Forever, Outlaws Never Die (2022), Shaboozey gained recognition after featuring on two songs from Beyoncé's album Cowboy Carter (2024). He achieved commercial success with his third album, Where I've Been, Isn't Where I'm Going (2024), and its number one single "A Bar Song (Tipsy)" as well as "Good News"; the former 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 of all time.
