Shaboozey is making headlines for proudly celebrating his Nigerian roots. The country music star, whose real name is Collins Obinna Chibueze, has shared how much Nigeria means to him despite growing up in America.

He recently worked with Nigerian Afrobeats superstar Burna Boy on a new song titled ‘Change Your Mind’. For Shaboozey, this song feels very special. He shared his excitement on X, writing, “This one feels like a homecoming. Virginia raised me, but Nigeria will always be in my blood — now I get to share that with the world alongside my brother @burnaboy.”

Fans are happy to see him embrace his roots so openly. Many said it was beautiful to watch an international artist stay connected to where he comes from. The new song brings together country music and Afrobeats, creating a unique sound for fans of both genres.

Shaboozey was born on May 9, 1995, in Virginia. His parents are Nigerians who moved to the United States before he was born. He started his music career in 2014 with his first single ‘Jeff Gordon’. Since then, he has continued to rise in the music scene.

In 2024, Shaboozey gained more global attention when he featured on two songs from Beyoncé’s album ‘Cowboy Carter’. His own song, ‘A Bar Song (Tipsy)’, made history. It tied with Lil Nas X’s ‘Old Town Road’ as the longest-running number-one song on the Billboard Hot 100.

His collaboration with Burna Boy shows how music connects people from different cultures. For Shaboozey, it is a reminder that no matter where he lives, Nigeria will always be part of his story.

As fans wait to hear ‘Change Your Mind’, many are excited to see how Shaboozey’s country style blends with Burna Boy’s Afrobeats sound. This song could open the door for more African-inspired country music on global charts.
