Shaboozey Shares Rare Insight into Friendship With Beyoncé
Hold up, Shaboozey doesn’t love anyone like he loves Beyoncé.
As the “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” singer—who is up for five Grammys, including Best New Artist, at the upcoming ceremony—reflects on his whirlwind year, he could easily pinpoint who still has him feeling starstruck.
“It’s always cool when the queen comes and tells me, ‘Hey I watched your performance,’” Shaboozey effused to E! News’ Francesca Amiker in an exclusive interview. “I’m like ‘Ah, super sick,’ Gotta keep it in the family.”
And while he and the “Texas Hold ‘Em” singer as well as Linda Martell are up for Best Melodic Rap performance together for their Cowboy Carter track “Spaghettii,” she continues to be the top person Shaboozey is over-the-moon to hear from.
“Definitely Beyoncé—always,” he continued. “I love when I get that text from her that’s like, ‘Yeah, you killed it.’”
Indeed, Shaboozey now sees Beyoncé as “the homie,” and he emphasized, “working with her, I’ve learned so much.”
The “Cuff It” singer even helped Shaboozey continue to momentum as he broke through the mainstream by giving insight to her own earliest days in the spotlight.
“She just tells me when she was little, the places she performed and she was nervous and had to get over that and find the strength to get out there and do what she does,” the 29-year-old explained. “She’s the hardest working woman in music, maybe the hardest working human in music.”
