Earlier that night, Shaboozey walked the BET Awards carpet and talked about what it means to perform at the awards show in the midst of his big breakout year.

“Man, it’s a dream come true, honestly, man,” he said. “A couple of years [ago]I sat about a hundred rows back watching people perform, so to be able to tell my story on that stage is a dream come true — surreal.”

Speaking more about the recent renaissance of black artists gaining popularity, the “Vegas” artist described the defining moment as “amazing.”

“Country music is American music,” he added. “It’s music about different stories of different people in different walks of life. We must not miss those dark stories either. You have to hear them too.”
