Cody Johnson’s Producer Trent Willmon Explains His ‘Kicking Shaboozey’ Comment at CMA Awards
Cody Johnson's producer Trent Willmon is clarifying remarks he made about Shaboozey during the 2024 CMA Awards.
On Saturday (Nov. 23), Willmon took to social media to address the backlash he faced after appearing to throw shade at the “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” hitmaker during Johnson’s album of the year acceptance speech for Leather. During his CMA Awards speech, Willmon had told the Nashville audience, “It takes an army of people to make a great record, but I gotta tell ya, this is for this cowboy who’s been kicking shaboozey for a lot of years, y’all.” Additionally, he’s nominated for best new Artist, while his collaboration with Beyoncé and Linda Martell, “Spaghettii,” from the album Cowboy Carter, is up for best melodic rap performance.
