Shaboozey triumphantly claimed the inaugural accolade of the prestigious main event, crowned as the Best New Artist of 2024! This victory caps a remarkable journey that saw the country-infused hip-hop sensation soar to the pinnacle of the Billboard Hot 100 with his chart-topping smash, "A Bar Song (Tipsy)." Furthermore, his collaboration with the queen of music, Beyoncé, on two standout tracks from her groundbreaking 'Cowboy Carter' album, further solidified his status as a force to be reckoned with.
"I am overcome with a sense of profound honor and humility," Shaboozey exclaimed, his voice tinged with disbelief. "I never fathomed that I'd find myself standing here, amidst the grandeur of the Grand Ole Opry, accepting such a prestigious award. It's truly a dream materialized before my very eyes."
As he graciously acknowledged the invaluable support of radio programmers, his management team, cherished family, loyal friends, and his record label, Shaboozey's gaze shifted warmly towards the legendary member of Destiny's Child. "And to Beyoncé, thank you," he said, his words brimming with admiration. "You are nothing short of extraordinary."
